Fresh from their thumping win over Everton at the weekend, the Bees, who have their second-best points tally at this stage of an EPL season, will be looking to sting for the second game in a row when taking on Sunderland in front of a home crowd on Wednesday evening. Keith Andrew's men certainly packed a punch at Hill Dickenson Stadium, but having recently failed to score at home to Spurs, can they break down a Sunderland team that certainly knows how to keep things tight. 

The Black Cats ground out yet another hard-earned point last time out, tying away to Spurs, a result that marked five games without a loss for Regis le Bris' men, who've lost just two league games since the first week in October. Not bad at all for a newly promoted team.

Our Brentford vs Sunderland Prediction

If there's any EPL team that you can rely on not to be sucked into an all-action, end-to-end game right now, then it's probably Sunderland, so do not be surprised if this game produces less than fireworks. 

The Black Cats are all about digging in and making life difficult for opponents, which is why they're not only one of the league's lowest scorers but also one of the EPL's best defensive teams. Only Arsenal and Man City have conceded fewer goals than Sunderland, while the visitors certainly know how to keep the goals down on the road, with only one of their last five away games containing more than two goals. 

Throw into the mix that the Bees find it difficult to break down deep-lying teams and 'Under 2.5 Goals' starts to look quite generously priced. 

Our Brentford vs Sunderland Pick: Under 2.5 Goals.
