Sunderland hosting Brentford in the fourth round of the EFL Cup represents one of the six clashes pitting top-flight sides. The two will be meeting for the second time this season and the third in the year. Across the first two meetings, Brentford are unbeaten, and our prediction backs them to advance here.
Sunderland must be feeling pressure from playing in Europe and domestically. In their 12 games this season they have won just four. One of those four was in the third round as the Black Cats beat Hull City 1-0.
In the eight matches after that, they’ve managed just two wins and are coming here winless in three and failing to score in two of them. Their latest outing ended 0-0 against Leeds United.
Brentford are also coming into this game winless in three matches but with a better scoring return. They posted two draws, against Aston Villa (2-2) and Hull City (1-1), sandwiching their most recent defeat, 2-1 against Liverpool.
That loss is their only one this season, the Bees having played 10 matches. Among their 2026/27 activities were the 6-1 and 2-1 wins against Birmingham and Leeds United in the EFL Cup. In their recent two meetings with Sunderland, Brentford avoided defeat, winning once.

Our Sunderland vs Brentford Prediction
It is already a busy season for Sunderland, who have to play in the Europa League, Premier League and the League Cup. This schedule includes a lot of travel, and fatigue is an issue they’ve had to deal with as well as player injuries.
With at least six players injured, most of whom could miss out here, Sunderland will be even more disadvantaged. They meet a well-rested Brentford side with just one loss in 10 games. Our prediction for Sunderland v Brentford is that Brentford wins.
