Bradford City will be aiming to make it two league wins on the spin as they play host to Salford City as part of the latest round of League Two action on Saturday afternoon.
The Bantams kicked-off their campaign in perfect fashion last week courtesy of a 2-1 triumph at MK Dons, whilst Salford City's 2024/25 curtain-raiser at home to Port Vale proved a damp squib with the Valiants cruising to a 2-0 success.
Both clubs endured EFL Cup disappointment in midweek however, with Salford succumbing to a 2-0 home defeat to Doncaster and Bradford seeing their cup hopes evaporate following a torturous 9-8 penalty shootout defeat at Grimsby Town.
Bradford City v Salford City has not been selected for TV coverage on Sky Sports during this round of League Two fixtures.
Bradford City v Salford City will take place at the University of Bradford Stadium in Bradford, with the game kicking-off at 15:00 (BST) on Saturday 17th August 2024.
Bradford City are unbeaten in the last five league meetings against Salford City having claimed maximum spoils on three occasions with the other two encounters ending all-square.
This weekend's meeting will be just the 12th competitive encounter between the clubs with Salford actually holding a winning head-to-head record, despite their recent struggles in this fixture.
The Ammies did edge a Football League Trophy affair last season 1-0, but it's been almost three and a half years since they last tasted success in a league clash - a 1-0 win on the road in April 2021.
Their task in ending that run on Saturday appears challenging though with Bradford eyeing up a fourth straight home league victory for the first time since 2021 after ending last season with successive wins over Tranmere Rovers, Gillingham and Newport County.
