History of the Brighton & Hove Albion v Brentford fixture

Brentford pack their bags to visit Brighton & Hove Albion at Withdean Stadium on Tuesday evening, 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 7 of the 32 games.

The previous match played between the two at Withdean Stadium was more than three years back, in August 2006, where the two teams cancelled each other out in an enthralling 2 - 2 draw in a League One match.
