Two sides that are currently doing well, Brentford and Sunderland, will face off next in the Premier League, looking to extend their good runs. Brentford will play host in this encounter at the Gtech Community Stadium. We have a prediction of this match after the preview below.
These two have been the season’s surprise package, going into this round tied on 30 points. Only five teams have scored more goals than Brentford in the league. That has been the core of their impressive performances, defying odds after massive exits from the team ahead of this season.
There’s a need to work on their defending, though. Sunderland have also outdone themselves. A mix of careful recruitment and strong team spirit have worked wonders for the Black Cats. They are the highest-placed newly promoted side, having adapted well, losing just four times in their opening 20 games. Too many draws haven't helped Sunderland though.

Brentford - Sunderland: Form Analysis
Brentford are coming from an emphatic 4-2 win against Everton in their last match. That result lifted the Bees to seventh place, and they can afford to dream about Europe. Very few would have predicted this performance from Brentford after their massive departures last season.
New stars have emerged, and clearly, Brentford are doing even better. In their 11 home matches, Brentford have only lost once, winning six and drawing four. Liverpool, Newcastle United, and Aston Villa are among the teams they’ve beaten, while they only lost narrowly against Manchester City. Out of their 30 points so far this season, 21 came from home matches. This game, therefore, comes at the right time.
Brentford are the fourth-best-performing home team.
Sunderland have had a number of impressive performances but will be looking to improve on their away form ahead of this game. They are coming off a 1-1 draw with Tottenham Hotspur, their fourth straight draw. Though Sunderland have only lost twice in the last 10 matches, registering just two wins in that run doesn’t sound really interesting.
The Black Cats have a profile as one of the toughest to beat, but their attacking shortcomings mean they haven't won much either. It is tougher on the road too, as only 10 points have come in away matches, out of their tally of 30 points.

Brentford & Sunderland Squad Analysis
Brentford forward Igor Thiago has been among the season’s surprises. The Brazilian spent the initial season at the club battling injuries, but he is up to his best. With 14 goals scored, he is snapping at Erling Haaland’s heels, being the Norwegian’s closest challenger for the Golden Boot.
Remarkably, he is coming off another top performance where he scored a hat trick. He is the second Brentford player to score three in the space of three matches, after Kevin Schade’s treble against Bournemouth. These two are players to watch in that game.
Schade and Igor Thiago have scored a combined 20 goals for Brentford this season.
Sunderland were expected to struggle a lot at this period when the AFCON is in progress, as they have six players away on international duty. However, the Black Cats have impressively pulled their own weight and remain one of the toughest teams around.
Habib Diarra, Reinildo Mandava, Arthur Masuaku, Noah Sadiki, Chemsdine Talbi, and Bertrand Traore are all at the AFCON. Sunderland’s case is made worse by Wilson Isidor being listed as a precaution.

Our Brentford vs Sunderland Prediction
Sunderland will come into this game as the underdogs, having struggled on their away days. They are winless in the last four matches but take into this encounter a five-game unbeaten run. The Black Cats have been solid lately and will want to carry the same to Brentford, who have been equally impressive.
Brentford have four wins in six home matches and will have the favorites’ feel. This is their chance to avenge their first-leg loss to Sunderland away from home. A sturdy Sunderland will not make it easy but we don't see them walking away with three points. Our prediction for Brentford v Sunderland is that Brentford wins.
Brentford vs Sunderland Alternative Predictions
Under 2.5 goals
While Brentford have been scoring a lot, we aren’t backing them to carry that shape into this game. They are facing a good defensive side, and going for a high-scoring game may not pay. Sunderland aren’t scoring a lot either but are a good defensive outfit. So our second prediction will be for the match to have under 2.5 goals.
