Recent form

The home side come of the back of an impressive win at the weekend but will be looking to get into the upper reaches of the table with a good result. Looking to string together a few results for the first time this year Yeovil have yet to hit real form for a sustained period of time.

Apart from the slightly slump in recent weeks, Brentford have won three of their last six, however failed to win the previous two. In all competitions, they are three without a win and will be hoping to use the spur of martin Allen's manager of the month award to pick up where they left off in mid-February.

Key player - Brentford
Jay Tabb: In their last two in the League Brentford have failed to score, no doubts if they are go get back on track tomorrow when the away side need a big and very creative performance from Jay Tabb, the man who gets everything started needs to pull in a huge performance tomorrow and even prehaps get himself on the scoresheet

Key Player - Yeovil
Matt Harold: Facing his ex club the tall striker will be wanting to show the Bees exactly what they are missing. His goal threat and pressence from set pieces could present a real problem to Sodje and Turner.

Keys to victory - Brentford
Starting well
Defending in numbers
Taking their chances

Keys to victory - Yeovil
Asserting the tempo
An early goal
Hard work

Match Prediction - Expect this one to be a close but untidy affair with the away side's hunger enough to take them to a 3-1 win, with a goal from a defender, a midfielder and a striker.
