History of the Brentford v Oldham Athletic fixture

Brentford prepare to entertain Oldham Athletic at Griffin Park on Sunday afternoon, aiming to preserve their record of never having lost at home to the visitors. The Bees have won and drawn 10 times in this fixture.

The most recent encounter between these two sides at Griffin Park was just last season, in December 2005, the Bees carving out a narrow 1-0 victory in a F.A. Cup match.

Recent respective form guides

Brentford's poor home run has seen them win just 1 and draw 2 of the last six. Bees have conceded a disappointing 6 goals in this period, and managed to convert only 3 of their own chances.

Oldham Ath.'s away form is none too clever either, collecting 2 wins and 3 draws from the last six. The Latics's have scored 8 goals in these games, but conceded an alarming 9.

Brentford are stuck down in the relegation zone of Coca-Cola League One with a return of just 33 points from their 38 games thus far. Oldham Ath.'s total of 63 points from their 38 games sees them sitting in the playoff places in Coca-Cola League One.
