Brentford prepare to entertain Chesterfield at Griffin Park on Saturday afternoon, and hold the advantage on previous meetings between the two. Of the 32 games played, Bees have recorded 16 wins, and Chesterfield have come away with 4 victories.

The most recent encounter between these two sides at Griffin Park was just last season, in December 2006, the Bees carving out a narrow 2-1 victory in a League One match.

Recent respective form guides

Brentford's woeful home form means they have chalked up just a single victory, with 5 defeats, from the last six. While Bees have scored 4, a worringly large 9 have been leaked at the other end.

Chesterfield's away form is none too clever either, tasting just one defeat in their last six, and picking up four good wins. The games have constituted a decent return of 10 goals for the Spireites, and 8 goals against.

Brentford see themselves just below half way in the Coca-Cola League Two, showing a record of 32 points from their 25 games played so far, Chesterfield are just outside the promotion places, in 4th, having taken 43 points from 24 games.
