Sunderland qualified for the Championship playoffs last season, despite losing their last five league games before heading into the playoffs, where they unexpectedly secured promotion to the Premier League. Months after that, the Black Cats thrashed West Ham, but their lackluster football has already led to two defeats this season, against newly promoted Burnley and third-tier Huddersfield in the EFL Cup.
Therefore, it's no surprise that Sunderland are the underdogs in the betting despite their Matchday 3 match against Brentford at the Stadium of Light.
The Bees earned a respectable 56 points in the 2024/2025 Premier League season; with a goal from Ouattara, Brentford defeated Aston Villa in Matchday 2 of the Premier League. A key statistic indicates that, since January of this year, no team has earned more points on the road than Brentford, who earned another away win against Bournemouth in the EFL Cup with goals from Carvalho and Thiago.
Both teams are already suffering from their first significant absences of the year; Sunderland already has a long list of up to five absentees, the latest to join the ranks being Irish defender Ballard.

Our Sunderland vs Brentford Prediction
Yoane Wissa, a Congolese striker, had an exceptional season with Brentford last season, finishing sixth in the scoring charts with 19 goals and providing four assists.
Fans of Brentford are eagerly anticipating the African's return, as rumors of his departure from the club never materialized. Wissa was seen training with the team, but it seems his debut this season will take even longer.
Brentford is on a winning streak that stretches to eight against newly promoted sides; last time out, they beat Ipswich Town away. Our prediction for Brentford vs Sunderland is: Brentford to win.
