Brentford form and stats

OK but not perfect. That could be the conclusion for Brentford's two home games in the Championship so far this season, having collected 3 points here at Griffin Park.

The Brentford fans got no joy from their last match, a Championship game also here at Griffin Park: A 2-4 defeat against Preston North End (placed 15th). Ahead of that match, Brentford won a home game hosting Fulham (3-0).

Did Brentford get overconfident in their match against Preston North End? We'll let you decide, but they did lose a 2-0 lead to end up with a 2-4 defeat. As you can tell by the result above, the goals flowed freely in the previous game and the stadium rocked. Could there be another goal fest today?

The manager T. Frank will start preparations for the next game as soon this is finished, as the hosts are going to Sheffield Wednesday in only four days.

Early season league goal statistics from Brentford's 2 home games: 5 goals, 4 conceded.
