History of the Coventry City v Brentford fixture
Brentford travel to take on Coventry City at City of Coventry Stadium on Saturday afternoon, needing to turn around their fortunes at the ground. The Bees will be hoping to improve upon a record which has seen them lose 11 and win only 3 of the 20 games.
The last time the two teams met at Coventry City was way back in the black-and-white days of February 1964, where the two teams cancelled each other out in an enthralling 2 - 2 draw in a Third Division match.
