Match Preview: Brentford U21s v Birmingham City U21s | OneFootball

Brentford Under-21s will host Birmingham City Under-21s on Friday afternoon at Wheatsheaf Park, with the fixture scheduled for a 1pm kick-off.

The clash will give the young Bees an opportunity to bounce back after a tough loss last time out against Millwall.

Brentford's impressive unbeaten run came to a halt in their last fixture earlier this week, but the Bees will hope they can quickly return to winning ways against tomorrow's opponents.

Last time out

Brentford Under-21s suffered their first defeat in 13 league games as they were beaten 3-0 by Millwall Under-21s at The Den on Tuesday.

A slow start to the first half saw Millwall take control and go two goals ahead. An improved performance in the second half could not overturn the deficit, with the home side adding a third.

Head coach Neil MacFarlane, looking ahead to the Birmingham fixture, said: "It is clear that we want a reaction from the boys. We did not play to our high standards against Millwall and we want to rectify that at home in front of our fans.

"It is important that the players get themselves ready for what will be a tough test."
