History of the Brentford v Bristol City fixture

Brentford prepare to entertain Bristol City at Griffin Park on Saturday afternoon, looking to continue an impressive record. The Bees are clearly on top, winning 51.52% of the games played between the two.

The most recent encounter between these two sides at Griffin Park was just last season, in September 2005, with Bristol City inflicting a narrow 2-3 defeat upon the Bees in a League One match.

Recent respective form guides

Brentford's poor home run has seen them win just 1 and draw 2 of the last six. While Bees have scored 5, a worringly large 10 have been leaked at the other end.

Bristol City's away form is none too clever either, winning and losing 3 each of the last six games. The Robins's have a narrow positive goal difference over these games, with 8 goals for and 6 against.

Brentford see themselves just below half way in the Coca-Cola League One, showing a record of 15 points from their 12 games played so far, Bristol City are just outside the promotion places, in 3rd, having taken 22 points from 12 games.
