History of the Swindon Town v Brentford fixture

Swindon Town prepare to entertain Brentford at County Ground on Saturday afternoon, looking to continue an impressive record. The Robins are clearly on top, having won 19 and lost only 7 of the 35 games.

The most recent encounter between these two sides at County Ground was just last season, in December 2002, the Robins carving out a narrow 2-1 victory in a League Division Two match.
