Bradford City travel to Reading this Saturday aiming to extend their perfect start to the League One season. The Bantams sit top of the table with 15 points from seven games and are on a five-match winning run.
Their next test is a trip to the Madejski Stadium to face a Reading side currently ninth. The Royals have had mixed results lately, drawing 2-2 with Wycombe Wanderers last time out after a win over Notts County and losses to Brentford and Cambridge United.
Bradford's form has been built on solid away performances, keeping three clean sheets in their last five wins on the road. Their most recent victory was a 2-1 home win over Newcastle United U21, with Nick Powell scoring twice. Before that, a Bobby Pointon goal secured a 1-0 win at Luton Town.
The current standings show City hold a one-point lead at the summit.
Reading's last starting lineup featured Joel Pereira in goal with a back four of Uche Godwin-Malife, Paudie O'Connor, Benn Ward and Harry Roberts. Bradford last fielded a 3-4-2-1 system with Colin Dawson protected by a back three of Reece Welch, Hayden Matthews and Macaulay Gillesphey.
With no fresh team news available, the focus is on maintaining momentum. The match kicks off at 3pm local time on Saturday, October 3rd.
