Match Preview: Brentford v. Yeovil Town

With safety within reach, the Glovers travel to the capital to play mid-table Brentford, who did Yeovil a favour in mid-week by beating Tranmere 2-1.

Yeovil have no new injury concerns, with the only absentee being Sam Williams, who continues to struggle with his knee ligament injury.

The only selection issue for Skiverton is which loanee to leave out, with Luke Ayling being the unlucky 6th loanee last week.

Brentford on the other hand, are sweating it out over the fitness of striker Carl Cort, who has a bruised foot. Another blow for the Bee's was the loss of on-loan Lewis Grabban, who was recalled by parent club Millwall.

When the two sides met at Huish Park earlier in the season, the Green and Whites came out on top with a 2-0 victory, with goals coming from skipper Craig Alcock and Andy Welsh.

Much like Yeovil, Brentford have a very good home record, who haven't lost at home since 3rd October 2009. Their record currently stands at 15 home matches unbeaten, which they will have no intentions of ending against the Glovers.

However, a good omen for the Glovers may be that the last side to win at Griffin Park, was west country side Swindon Town. Maybe something in the West Country air?
