Brentford form and stats

The hunting on away grounds hasn’t been very fruitful for Brentford so far with only 13 points returning home. The records show 2-7-9 (win-draw-lose).

Brentford failed to get anything from their last game, a home match vs West Bromwich Albion (placed 4th) that ended with defeat 0-1. It was a defeat before that one as the away game against Sheffield United wasn't a success with a 0-2 loss.

After this away game Brentford are travelling again fairly soon, but not to a normal away game. The Championship match versus Swansea City is played at a neutral venue in only three days.

Brentford find the net in their away games, although not all the time. 20 goals from 18 away fixtures. In the opposite end, Brentford have conceded 30 goals in their away games.

Head 2 Head

Wigan Athletic and Brentford have met before this season: Brentford - Wigan Athletic 2-0. Last five meetings between the teams: Wigan Athletic won 1, Brentford won 2 and 2 draws.
