History of the Tranmere Rovers v Brentford fixture

Brentford face a trip to Tranmere Rovers at Prenton Park on Saturday afternoon, and have come away with little in previous meetings, having been beaten a depressing 14 out of 20 times.

The most recent encounter between these two sides was less than a year ago, in December 2009, the Rovers carving out a narrow 1 - 0 victory in a League One match.
