Sunderland have scored only three times in those six games, while Brentford&rsquo;s league trips to Leeds United and Hull City both ended 1-1. With both sides likely to rotate and Brentford held in all four league away games, a low-scoring tie looks the best angle at 21\/20 with bet365.<\/td><\/tr><tr><td class=\"has-text-align-left\" data-align=\"left\"><strong>Draw<\/strong><\/td><td class=\"has-text-align-left\" data-align=\"left\">27\/10 (<a href=\"\/en\/go\/coral?q=gb-all-con-wof-s-spo\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"sponsored nofollow noopener\">Coral<\/a>)<\/td><td class=\"has-text-align-left\" data-align=\"left\">Brentford have turned into draw specialists on the road.

Sunderland are bottom but hard to break down at home, where they have conceded only four goals in four league games and drew 0-0 with Leeds last time out.

They have scored just six goals and conceded 14, and their home form is a particular worry, with only one goal scored across four league games at the Stadium of Light.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Black Cats go into this off a goalless draw with <a href=\"https:\/\/www.squawka.com\/en\/stats\/clubs\/leeds-united\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Leeds United<\/a>, but that followed four straight league defeats, including a 5-3 loss at <a href=\"https:\/\/www.squawka.com\/en\/stats\/clubs\/manchester-city\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Manchester City<\/a> and home defeats to Brighton and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.squawka.com\/en\/stats\/clubs\/arsenal\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Arsenal<\/a>. Goals have been hard to come by all season.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How Brentford go into the game<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Brentford arrive sitting sixth in the Premier League on 11 points, with an unusual record of two wins, five draws and one defeat. They have scored 14 goals and, notably, have found the net in every league game so far this season.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Bees are drawing specialists on the road, having been held in all four away games, and go into this off a 1-1 draw at <a href=\"https:\/\/www.squawka.com\/en\/stats\/clubs\/hull-city\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Hull City<\/a>. A 3-0 home win over <a href=\"https:\/\/www.squawka.com\/en\/stats\/clubs\/chelsea\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Chelsea<\/a> in their last five shows the ceiling, even if the away form points to another tight contest.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Sunderland vs Brentford head-to-head<\/h2>\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table is-style-stripes\"><table class=\"has-fixed-layout\"><thead><tr><th class=\"has-text-align-left\" data-align=\"left\">Date<\/th><th class=\"has-text-align-left\" data-align=\"left\">Home<\/th><th class=\"has-text-align-left\" data-align=\"left\">Score<\/th><th class=\"has-text-align-left\" data-align=\"left\">Away<\/th><\/tr><\/thead><tbody><tr><td class=\"has-text-align-left\" data-align=\"left\">05\/09\/26<\/td><td class=\"has-text-align-left\" data-align=\"left\">Brentford<\/td><td class=\"has-text-align-left\" data-align=\"left\">1-1<\/td><td class=\"has-text-align-left\" data-align=\"left\">Sunderland<\/td><\/tr><tr><td class=\"has-text-align-left\" data-align=\"left\">07\/01\/26<\/td><td class=\"has-text-align-left\" data-align=\"left\">Brentford<\/td><td class=\"has-text-align-left\" data-align=\"left\">3-0<\/td><td class=\"has-text-align-left\" data-align=\"left\">Sunderland<\/td><\/tr><tr><td class=\"has-text-align-left\" data-align=\"left\">30\/08\/25<\/td><td class=\"has-text-align-left\" data-align=\"left\">Sunderland<\/td><td class=\"has-text-align-left\" data-align=\"left\">2-1<\/td><td class=\"has-text-align-left\" data-align=\"left\">Brentford<\/td><\/tr><tr><td class=\"has-text-align-left\" data-align=\"left\">17\/02\/18<\/td><td class=\"has-text-align-left\" data-align=\"left\">Sunderland<\/td><td class=\"has-text-align-left\" data-align=\"left\">0-2<\/td><td class=\"has-text-align-left\" data-align=\"left\">Brentford<\/td><\/tr><tr><td class=\"has-text-align-left\" data-align=\"left\">21\/10\/17<\/td><td class=\"has-text-align-left\" data-align=\"left\">Brentford<\/td><td class=\"has-text-align-left\" data-align=\"left\">3-3<\/td><td class=\"has-text-align-left\" data-align=\"left\">Sunderland<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Recent meetings have been competitive and close.
