Boro look to net win on the road at Bradford Park Avenue to boost National League North play-off bid
Boro will head into the match boosted by Saturday’s last-gasp 3-2 home win against Blyth on Saturday that keeps their play-hopes hopes going strong, writes Steve Adamson.
Bradford have been in decent form lately, but lost at Spennymoor on Saturday, to end their six-match unbeaten run, and they are just three points above the relegation zone.

Avenue’s last win was a 1-0 home success against Telford on 6 December, when Jordan Preston was the scorer.
Manager Mark Bower has recently brought in two loan signings, Huddersfield Town defender David Adewiju and Barnsley midfielder Will Lancaster, back for a second spell at the club.
Will Thornton missed Boro’s win against Blyth with an ankle injury, but striker Jake Charles came on as a late sub, after four months out due to a dislocated shoulder.
