Brentford form and stats

10-9-2 (win-draw-lost) are the Championship numbers at home for Brentford so far this season. The home supporters have been following results with a growing disbelief as Brentford has racked up an amazing four draws in a row here at their own stadium. How long will this continue?

A good away victory last time out for Brentford, who won 1-0 against AFC Bournemouth (placed 4th). Preceding that game was the home draw versus Cardiff City that ended 1-1.

Brentford made it very difficult for themselves, when Pontus Jansson got a red card in the 50th minute. The match was still a draw at this point. But even with this card, Brentford won the match 1-0!

Another home game is coming up fairly shortly for the hosts, as Watford are coming to town in four days.

Brentford have proved capable of finding the net in their games here at Brentford Community Stadium with 36 goals in 21 league matches.

Rotherham play their second straight away game, having lost the previous one 0-1 to Barnsley (placed 6th). The game before that, was lost at home, a 1-2 defeat against Middlesbrough.

After this away game Rotherham United return home for a Championship game against Blackburn Rovers. That game is only four sleeps after this.

It's been trouble in front of goal recently, as only 0 of these goals has been scored in their last three away matches. As opposed to that, Rotherham United have seen the ball go into their own net 23 times on the road. There's been improvement defensively lately, as only 2 of these goals has been conceded in their last 3 away matches.
