Playing away, Brentford, who have the most scored goals (80) in Championship, have won 10 games, drawn 4 and suffered 9 defeats in the Championship this season.

Brentford might have something to prove in this game as they lost at home in their previous match. Barnsley proved too strong as Brentford slumped to a 1-2 defeat in front of their own fans at Griffin Park. It was a defeat before that one as the away game against Stoke City wasn't a success with a 0-1 loss.

Brentford were so close to getting something from the game against Barnsley, but ended up with egg all over their face after conceding the deciding goal one minutes into overtime.

A quick return to home after this game, as Brentford are hosting Swansea City in the Championship only three days away.

The travelling fans enjoy Brentford's attacking play in away games, having scored 36 goals in 23 league matches away. Brentford are defending well in their away games, having conceded only 20 times in 23 matches. For more goal statistics, check out the Statistics tab above.
