Brentford pack their bags to visit Brighton & Hove Albion at Withdean Stadium on Saturday afternoon, needing to turn around their fortunes at the ground. The Bees will be hoping to improve upon a record which has seen them lose 18 and win only 6 of the 30 games.
The previous match played between the two at Withdean Stadium was within the last three years, in March 2004, the Seagulls carving out a narrow 1 - 0 victory in a League Division Two match.

Recent respective form guides
Brighton & Hove Albion's poor home run has seen them win just 1 and draw 2 of the last six. Seagulls have conceded a disappointing 10 goals in this period, and managed to convert only 3 of their own chances.
Brentford's away form is none too clever either, unbeaten in the last six, but with four of them resulting in draws. The games have constituted a decent return of 10 goals for the Bees, and 6 goals against.
Brighton & HA's total of 6 points from their 2 games sees them sitting in the playoff places in Coca-Cola League One. Brentford are just outside the promotion places, in 4th, having taken 6 points from 2 games.
