History of the Brentford v Mansfield Town fixture

Mansfield Town travel to take on Brentford at Griffin Park on Saturday afternoon, needing to turn around their fortunes at the ground. The Stags will be hoping to improve upon a record which has seen them lose 11 and win only 3 of the 18 games.

The last time the two teams met at Brentford was just over four years ago, in December 2002, the Bees carving out a narrow 1 - 0 victory in a League Division Two match.
