History of the Bradford City v Brentford fixture

Brentford face a trip to Bradford City at The Bradford & Bingley Stadium on Monday 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 14 and win only 5 of the 23 games.

The most recent encounter between these two sides was less than a year ago, in April 2005, when they eased past their opponents in a high-scoring 4 - 1 thriller, in a League One match.
