Brentford form and stats

Brentford, who have the most scored goals (71) in Championship, have collected 37 points from their Championship home games so far after 10-7-2. Brentford have played two draws in a row on their own stadium.

The Brentford goalkeeper David Raya Martin is looking to record 90 more "clean sheet" minutes as his team have now played 263 minutes without conceding a goal in the Championship.

A good away victory last time out for Brentford, who won 5-0 against Preston North End (placed 16th). Before that, Brentford drew at home versus Birmingham City.

As mentioned above, Brentford "killed" Preston North End in their previous game. They need to reset completely for this one and beware of complacency.

The match schedule is unforgiving for Brentford as they have a new game in only three days, a Championship match thankfully also at home. Cardiff City are visiting.

A decent goal production from Brentford in their home games so far, with 35 goals from 19 league matches. It's been trouble in front of goal recently, as only 3 of these goals has been scored in their last three home matches. On the other hand, Brentford have conceded 19 goals. There's been improvement defensively lately, as only 2 of these goals has been conceded in their last 3 home matches.

Millwall form and stats

8-6-6 is the win-draw-loss statistic for Millwall in their Championship matches away.

Millwall might have something to prove in this game as they lost at home in their previous match. Swansea City proved too strong as Millwall slumped to a 0-3 defeat in front of their own fans at The Den. Before that one, a nice away victory 2-1 at Stoke City.

A new game in only four days for Millwall, the Championship home match versus AFC Bournemouth. Busy days.

The visiting Millwall have scored more than one goal per away game in the league so far. The grand total is 22 goals from 20 games. As opposed to that, Millwall have seen the ball go into their own net 21 times on the road.
