Matt Peck's stats are back, this time concerning our home record against Bradford City. Last time the clubs met, Oxford ran out 2-1 victors at the Kassam, but who has the better record historically? Has Oxford been a happy hunting ground for the Bantams, or have we traditionally held strong at home?

Last season’s game typified Oxford's season. A goal down early on due to some sloppy defending, largely dominating afterwards and clawing it back with two late strikes.
