Bradford have been fighting at the top end of the table for the entire season, and they are comfortably inside the playoff places, sitting five points clear of eighth-placed Mansfield Town.
Finishing inside the top seven is the bare minimum manager Mark Hughes will be expecting as we approach the climax of the season, and they could still achieve automatic promotion, given that they are only six points off the top three.
The Bantams have the best away record in the league, but they have not always found it easy to deliver in front of their own fans, most recently being held to a 2-2 draw against Hartlepool United despite an Andy Cook brace.
Hughes has made his side very difficult to beat since the turn of the year, losing just two of their last 15 matches in League Two, but there have also been some frustrating games during that time.
After Saturday’s draw against Hartlepool, Bradford are now on a three-game run without a win, drawing on every occasion, and what will be particularly frustrating is that each match has been very winnable, taking on sides in the bottom half of the League Two table.

Bradford City vs Carlisle Team News
Vadaine Oliver was back in the Bradford squad against Hartlepool, having missed the previous five games due to a knee injury, and he could be in line to replace Dara Costelloe at striker, partnering League Two top scorer Cook.
Matt Derbyshire and Thierry Nevers are making progress in their recovery from injury issues, but they are expected to miss out for at least another week.
As for Carlisle, Simpson could look to bring Krystian Dennis back into the side after his side failed to score at the weekend, with the striker replacing Joe Garner, who is without a goal in his last eight games.
21-year-old forward Ryan Edmondson could partner Dennis in attack, given that Omari Patrick has also failed to find the back of the net in recent weeks.
