History of the Brentford v Bradford City fixture

Bradford City travel to take on Brentford at Griffin Park on Saturday afternoon, needing to turn around their fortunes at the ground. The Bantams will be hoping to improve upon a record which has seen them lose 14 and win only 5 of the 23 games.

The last time the two teams met at Brentford was back in November 1995, over five years ago, the Bees carving out a narrow 2 - 1 victory in a League Division Two match.
