Brentford Under-21s travel to face Colchester United Under-21s on Friday night at JobServe Community Stadium (7pm kick-off).

Riding the momentum of three-straight league wins, Sam Saunders’ side will eye a fourth-consecutive victory to continue their strong recent form.

Following a busy start to the 2025/26 season, the young Bees have enjoyed a thorough week of training at Jersey Road after playing Crewe Alexandra on 15 September.

The west Londoners now look forward to three road trips in a row, with Exeter City in the Premier League Cup and Swansea City in the PDL to come.

Last time out

Saunders’ side cruised to a 3-0 PDL win on the road over Crewe Alexandra last time out.

Michael Olakigbe got the side off to a perfect start with a first-half strike, with Iwan Morgan and Michel Boni following suit in the second half with a goal each.

Previously at JobServe Community Stadium, Brentford secured a 2-1 win over Colchester last season.

Isaac Holland converted a penalty on the night, with Riley Owen then firing in a long-range strike to ensure the three points for the young Bees.
