History of the Brentford v Sheffield Wednesday fixture

Sheff. Wed. face a trip to Brentford at Griffin Park on Saturday afternoon, hoping to improve upon an average previous return from this fixture. Of the 11 games played, The Owls have recorded 3 wins, and Brentford have come away with 4 victories.

The most recent encounter between these two sides was just last season, in October 2003, as the visitors ran out cosy 0 - 3 winners in a League Division Two match.
