Bradford (Park Avenue) Aim to Extend Unbeaten League Run

Local rivals meet as league action resumes at Horsfall Community Stadium

Bradford (Park Avenue) will return to Northern Premier League East Division action on Tuesday evening, hosting Lincoln United at the Horsfall Community Stadium. The match presents an opportunity for Bradford to build on their strong league start after their recent exit from the Emirates FA Cup.

League Positions and Recent Form

Bradford (Park Avenue) currently sit third in the league table, holding an unbeaten record in the division so far this season. They are three points ahead of Lincoln United, who occupy fifth place, with Bradford having played two fewer matches. A victory on Tuesday could see Bradford move up to second place, just one point behind the league leaders, while retaining three games in hand.

Last week, Bradford secured a 1-0 away win against Matlock Town, a fellow promotion hopeful, thanks to a second-half goal from Louie Chorlton. However, their Emirates FA Cup run ended at the Third Round Qualifying stage after a narrow 1-0 defeat to Guiseley.

Lincoln United had been unbeaten in four league games before suffering a 1-0 loss to Blyth Spartans in their most recent outing. Both teams have demonstrated competitive form early in the season, making Tuesday’s fixture significant for their league ambitions.
