Leeds Vs Brentford: Statistical Preview

Saturday's game gives us the opportunity of 3 back-to-back wins and to extend our unbeaten run to 5 games. Brentford won’t be easy opponents and Neil Redfearn has said he is expecting a really tough game.

Last time out – in Darko Milanic’s debut – Brentford managed to record a 2-0 victory against us while we were on a great run, winning 3 and drawing 1 under then caretaker boss Neil Redfearn.

There’s been 27 matches between the two clubs to date with Leeds being the victors 10 times while Brentford have 7 wins to their name.

Tomorrow’s game is at Elland Road where Leeds have defeated Brentford 7 times, there has also been 4 draws, and Brentford have only managed the 1 win.

Of our last 9 meetings 5 have been draws so a close fought battle should be expected.

Brentford are notably 17 points ahead of us on the table sitting in a surprising 5^th place for a newly promoted side.

They’ve conceded a lot of goals so we should be looking to apply the pressure right from the off.

Our home record hasn’t been great this season, winning only 43% of our games but poor managerial appointments and off-the-field antics have definitely touched off on the playing field.

Will Brentford knock us off a run for the second time? Or can Leeds continue their surge?
