Brentford and Preston North End are both riding high in the Championship with their 3rd and 8th positions respectively. Expect a great game!

Brentford form and stats

Brentford, who have the most scored goals (78) in Championship, are steadily winning Championship games and points here at Griffin Park. 13 wins, 5 draws and 3 defeats is the summary from 21 games. Brentford has won so many consecutive home games (four in a row) that they struggle to remember the last time points were lost here at Griffin Park. We remember; it was Blackburn Rovers. The team is able to perform also as the away side, as they are nurturing a very healthy winning streak of seven straight victories regardless of arena.

Happy days for Brentford in their previous game, a Championship match away at Derby County (placed 10th) that ended with a 3-1 victory. Ahead of that match, Brentford won a home game hosting Charlton Athletic (2-1).

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

The Brentford manager T. Frank has got the team scoring with 42 from 21 home games in the league. Brentford are not conceding a lot of goals here at Griffin Park in the league, averaging less than one per game. The total is 16 from 21 matches.
