History of the Oldham Athletic v Brentford fixture

Brentford face a trip to Oldham Athletic at Boundary Park on Sunday 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 11 and win only 4 of the 21 games.

The most recent encounter between these two sides was less than a year ago, in March 2005, as the visitors ran out cosy 0 - 2 winners in a League One match.
