History of the Barnet v Bradford City fixture

Barnet prepare to entertain Bradford City at Underhill Stadium on Saturday afternoon, with high hopes of improving on their excellent record against the opposition, having managed to conjure up a win from 2 of the previous 3 games.

The most recent encounter between these two sides at Underhill Stadium was less than a year ago, in February 2009, when they eased past their opponents in a high-scoring 4-1 thriller, in a League Two match.
