Brentford pack their bags to visit Hartlepool United at Victoria Park on Friday evening, hoping to improve upon an average previous return from this fixture. Of the 18 games played, Bees have recorded 6 wins, and Hartlepool U. have come away with 9 victories.
The previous match played between the two at Victoria Park was more than three years back, in November 2005, with Brentford inflicting a narrow 1 - 2 defeat upon the Pools in a League One match.
