Brentford form and stats

When playing at home in the Championship, Brentford, who have the most scored goals (71) in Championship, have managed 10 wins, 8 draws and suffered 2 defeats from 20 games. Three draws from their last three home games means a steady supply of points here at Brentford Community Stadium, but a victory now would be sweet for Brentford.

Nothing to worry about in defence for Brentford, as their goalkeeper David Raya Martin has completely shut out the opponents for 353 minutes in the Championship.

The home supporters saw a 0-0 draw versus Millwall in the Championship last time out and are looking for a win here. A strong away win before that one, visiting Preston North End and winning 5-0.

The home team are moderate favourites in this game. How does Brentford handle that role? We have found eleven games in our database similar to this one, based on the home odds. The stats for these games are five wins, five draws and one defeat.

There's a new game coming up fairly quickly for Brentford as they are travelling to their away game against AFC Bournemouth in the Championship. That match is four days after this one.

A decent goal production from Brentford in their home games so far, with 35 goals from 20 league matches. It's been trouble in front of goal recently, as only 1 of these goals has been scored in their last three home matches. Brentford have only conceded 19 from their league home games.
