Brentford vs Sunderland is a Premier League Gameweek 3 clash at the Gtech Community Stadium on Saturday, with the hosts fancied against in-form Sunderland.

Andy Francis has the best bets, a score prediction and the head-to-head record for this Premier League clash below.

Premium Tips

Andy is with Brentford, whose home form should tell despite Sunderland’s bright start.

Premium TipOddsWhy we’re backing it
Brentford to win and under 2.5 goals3/1Brentford have started well and look solid at home, scoring four and conceding just one across their opening two games, and they beat Sunderland 3-0 at this ground in the sides’ most recent meeting here. Sunderland have been modest by comparison, with two goals scored and two conceded in their two outings, the profile of a cautious promoted team on the road. That combination, Brentford’s control and tight back line against Sunderland’s low output, points towards a measured home win that stays on the lower side of the goals line.
Igor Thiago to score anytime and Noah Sadiki to be booked6/1Thiago is the standout leg. He leads the Brentford line and takes their penalties, and across the sample he has racked up 22 goals from 91 shots and 14.37 expected goals, finishing above his xG, exactly the striker to back at home against a newly promoted defence. Sadiki supplies the disciplinary angle: a combative Sunderland defensive midfielder with a heavy booking record, 19 yellow cards across his recent football, and the kind of tackle-and-cover role that draws cautions, here against Brentford’s aggressive, direct attack.

How Brentford go into the game

Brentford drew 1-1 at Leeds last time out, a fair point on the road. The Gtech is a tough venue where they must build their season.

The Bees are well-organised and dangerous at home. Three points against Sunderland is the aim.

How Sunderland go into the game

Sunderland won 1-0 against Fulham last time out, a fine result on their top-flight return. Confidence will be high.

Newly promoted, Sunderland are spirited and organised, but away days at established sides are tough. Backing up that win is the challenge.
