History of the Brentford v Gillingham fixture

Gillingham face a trip to Brentford at Griffin Park on Saturday afternoon, hoping to improve upon an average previous return from this fixture. Of the 40 games played, The Gills have recorded 13 wins, and Brentford have come away with 17 victories.

The most recent encounter between these two sides was just last season, in August 2005, where the two sides shared the spoils courtesy of a 1 - 1 final scoreline in a League One match.

Recent respective form guides

Brentford's poor home run has seen them win just 1 and draw 2 of the last six. While Bees have scored 4, a worringly large 9 have been leaked at the other end.

Gillingham's away form is none too clever either, seeing them win just 1 and draw 2 of the last six. While the The Gills have hit 11 goals, 15 have hit the back of the wrong net.

Brentford are hovering perilously just above the relegation zone, with 16 points from 14 matches. Gillingham see themselves just below half way in the Coca-Cola League One, showing a record of 17 points from their 14 games played so far,
