Both Teams To Score

Reason for tip

Nine of Brentford’s last 10 games have featured both teams scoring, including their matches in the last two rounds of the Carabao Cup. The Bees haven’t kept an away clean sheet this term, while both teams scored in their home clash with Sunderland in September.

Draw 1-1

Reason for tip

Brentford have won two away ties against EFL sides in the Carabao Cup this season, but all four of their Premier League trips have finished as draws. Despite Sunderland’s poor form, only Arsenal and Brighton – two of the top three – have beaten them at home this term.

Chemsdine Talbi To Score Anytime

Reason for tip

Talbi scored the winner for Sunderland against Hull in the last round, and the winger has been somewhat unfairly sidelined in the league despite scoring four Premier League goals last term. He had a brief cameo against Leeds at the weekend, and the young Moroccan winger should make the most of a rare start.

Sunderland were unable to lift themselves off the bottom of the Premier League on Sunday, sharing a goalless draw at home to Leeds. Their busy fixture list continues with a Carabao Cup clash against Brentford in midweek, but the Bees should ensure this is a more entertaining affair.

Nine of Brentford’s last 10 games have featured both teams scoring, including a 1-1 draw against Sunderland last month. The Bees have yet to keep a clean sheet across six away games in all competitions, conceding at Championship side Birmingham and League One Reading in this competition.

With the Black Cats juggling three competitions, they are expected to make significant changes to their starting lineup. However, Regis Le Bris has some exciting attacking options that he could bring into the side. Chemsdine Talbi scored the winner in the last round, while summer signing Malick Fofana was an unused substitute at the weekend.

The Black Cats’ depth doesn’t quite extend to their backline, so it’s easy to see a more open contest. Each of Brentford’s four league trips this season has finished level, so a repeat of their 1-1 draw is my correct score prediction.
