Brentford Preview – Can Bees pick up momentum?
It’s looking increasingly likely that Brentford will have to take their chances again in the play-offs as the hosts currently sit in 4th place but eight points adrift of 2nd placed Watford, following just two wins from their last seven matches overall.
Brentford are unbeaten in these last seven matches but five stalemates within this sequence have resulted in Brentford losing valuable ground on the top two clubs and automatic promotion now looks a distant dream.
The Bees have also lost just once in their last 18 matches on home turf, but again, too many draws (8 during this period), have actually done the damage. Nevertheless, Brentford will be confident that they can get a result here having won two of the last three meetings against Cardiff City.
Cardiff City Preview – Can Cardiff put up fight?
Cardiff City were seemingly well on their way to securing a place in the play-offs in the Championship as The Bluebirds embarked upon an impressive six-match winning streak shortly after manager, Mick McCarthy, arrived at the club, but results thereafter have been less convincing.
The Bluebirds have managed to register just a further two wins from their consequent 10 matches and this has also cost the Welsh club valuable ground in their pursuit of a top six finish as they now trail 6th placed Barnsley by 11 points.
Cardiff have been hard to beat on the road though as they’ve lost just one of their last 10 matches but they’ve won just once in their last five on their travels and this could allow Brentford the upper hand here.
