Brentford form and stats
3 victories, 3 draws and 1 defeat. That’s what Brentford have to build on here at Griffin Park in the Championship.
A strong away win for Brentford against Rotherham United the last match, as Marcus Forss and Ivan Toney were on target. Ahead of that match, Brentford won a home game hosting Queens Park Rangers (2-1).
The hosts are modest favourites in this match, with the bookmakers estimating the chance of a home win at about 50% +- five percent. It's interesting to look at how Brentford have performed under similar circumstances, so here are some numbers: When modest favourites like this (we found 14 games) they have won seven times, drawn four and lost three.
The match schedule is unforgiving for Brentford as they have a new game in only four days, a Championship match thankfully also at home. Derby County are visiting.
The Brentford fans have had their share of opportunities to cheer home goals this season, having seen 11 goals in 7 league matches. Brentford's goalkeeper has had to pick the ball out of their own net 7 times. For more goal stats, check the Statistics tab above.
