History of the Brentford v Bradford City fixture

Bradford City face a trip to Brentford at Griffin Park on Saturday afternoon, needing to turn around their fortunes at the ground. The Bantams will be hoping to improve upon a record which has seen them ending up on the losing side in more than half of the games played between the two.

The most recent encounter between these two sides was less than a year ago, in April 2006, where the two sides shared the spoils courtesy of a 1 - 1 final scoreline in a League One match.
