Brentford play host to Carlisle United at Griffin Park on Saturday afternoon, needing to improve on a poor record between the sides. The visitors have won 4 of the 10 previous games, with the Bees winning just 2.
The last time the two teams met at Brentford was back in February 1999, over five years ago, where the two sides shared the spoils courtesy of a 1-1 final scoreline in a League Division Three 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 6, a worringly large 16 have been leaked at the other end.
Carlisle Utd.'s away form is none too clever either, winning 2 of the last six, but losing the other 4. While the Cumbrians have hit 6 goals, 12 have hit the back of the wrong net.
Brentford find themselves stuck right at the bottom of the division. Their 29 games have yielded only 22 points. Carlisle Utd.'s 39 points from 28 games sees them lie inside the top half of the table, in 10th position.

FootyMad's prediction ...
Nothing seems to be going right for the Bees at home recently, and I can see no immediate turn around in fortunes as the Cumbrians come away with an easy victory. Away win
