Port Vale face a trip to Brentford at Griffin Park on Saturday afternoon, and have come away with little in previous meetings, having been beaten a depressing 16 out of 24 times.
The most recent encounter between these two sides was just last season, in February 2006, with Port Vale inflicting a narrow 0 - 1 defeat upon the Bees in a League One match.

Recent respective form guides
Brentford's home form is most definitely relegation standard, collecting just 1 solitary point from the last six. While Bees have scored 4, a worringly large 12 have been leaked at the other end.
Port Vale's away form is none too clever either, accumulating just 1 victory and 1 draw from their last six played. While the Valiants have hit 9 goals, 13 have hit the back of the wrong net.
Brentford find themselves stuck right at the bottom of the division. Their 44 games have yielded only 34 points. Port Vale see themselves just below half way in the Coca-Cola League One, showing a record of 57 points from their 44 games played so far,
