Brentford vs Sunderland Team News
Brentford have a number of players unavailable for selection. Milambo, Maghoma, and Carvalho are all sidelined with injuries, while Ouattara and Onyeka are away on international duty. However, Andrews could shuffle his pack after the tight turnaround and bring back the likes of Lewis-Potter, Henderson and Henry.
Sunderland also have several absentees, with Isidor doubtful due to a minor issue. Sadiki, Traoré, Diarra, Mandava, Masuaku and Talbi are all on international duty. Sunderland were given a major boost after Ballard returned from injury off the bench at Tottenham, whilst Brobbey, who scored a stunning equaliser on Sunday, is likely to start again.
Brentford vs Sunderland Match Prediction
Brentford have been in excellent form recently and head into another winnable home game sitting just one point behind fifth. The Bees are unbeaten in six home matches and will be looking to avenge their 2-1 defeat at the Stadium of Light back in August. Sunderland have won just twice in their last 11 games but are continuing to pick up points even though they're dealing with a huge absentee list. On their travels, the Black Cats have not tasted victory since beating Chelsea in October, scoring just twice in five outings.
The match forecast suggests that Sunderland will make a comeback if they go behind. However, the data available suggests that Brentford will edge this one, with a predicted score of 2-1.
