Match Preview provided by Charlie Elliott

📅 BPA vs Cleethorpes Town – Sat 29th March, 3PM KO
📍 Horsfall Community Stadium

Bradford (Park Avenue) take on league leaders Cleethorpes Town at the Horsfall Stadium this Saturday in what promises to be a thrilling encounter.

This is a crucial match for both sides. Avenue are looking to climb the table from 10th place and turn their form around, while Cleethorpes Town sit seven points clear at the top of the Northern Premier League East Division with a game in hand. A win for the visitors would strengthen their grip on the title race, but Avenue will be determined to cause an upset and finish the season off strong.

Recent Form

Avenue have struggled in recent weeks, losing their last three league games. However, performances have been promising against strong opposition, with all three defeats coming against teams in the top 5. Their most recent outing saw a 2-1 defeat away at Dunston, where JJ O’Donnell’s brace sealed the win for the hosts, despite Brendon Daniels converting a penalty for Avenue in the 53rd minute.

Encouragingly, Avenue ran Cleethorpes Town close in their previous meeting just a few weeks ago, only losing 1-0 to a late goal. Craig Elliott’s Green Army will be aiming to build on that performance and take revenge on home turf.

Cleethorpes Town’s Form

Cleethorpes have won three of three in their last games in the league but suffered disappointment in the Lincolnshire Senior Cup Final on Tuesday night. They played out a dramatic 3-3 draw with Scunthorpe United before losing on penalties, failing to convert any of their spot-kicks.

This midweek fixture – which went to extra time – could play into Avenue’s hands, with Cleethorpes potentially feeling the effects of fatigue.

Head-to-Head

The last meeting between these sides took place on 8th March at the Myenergi Stadium, where Avenue were unlucky to lose 1-0 to a last-minute goal from Nicky Walker. That result will no doubt add extra motivation for the boys in green and white to turn the tables on home soil.

Get Behind the Avenue!

It’s set to be a thrilling contest, with Cleethorpes pushing for the title and Avenue looking to finish off strong after some rocky form in the 2nd half of the season.
