Brentford face a trip to Bradford City at The Bradford & Bingley 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 14 and win only 5 of the 24 games.
The most recent encounter between these two sides was just last season, in January 2006, when they fought out a thrilling high-scoring 3 - 3 draw in a League One match.

Recent respective form guides
Bradford City need to improve on their recent home record of just 3 draws from the previous six. While Bantams have scored 6, a worringly large 10 have been leaked at the other end.
Brentford's away form is none too clever either, winning 2 of the last six, but losing the other 4. Only 5 goals have been registered in this time, with 7 leaked at the wrong end.
Bradford City are hovering perilously just above the relegation zone, with 37 points from 33 matches. Brentford are stuck down in the relegation zone of Coca-Cola League One with a return of just 32 points from their 34 games thus far.
