Brentford vs Sunderland prediction: Another home win for the Bees?
Key stats
- Brentford are undefeated in their last four games, winning three of them.
- Sunderland have not lost in their last five games, but have not won in their last four.
- There have been under 10.5 corners in four of Black Cat's last five games.
Correct score prediction: Brentford 1-1 Sunderland
Both sides are on 30 points, and Brentford are only ahead of them in terms of a marginal better goal difference (+2), so there is nothing to choose between the two sides.
Keith Andrew's side are on a roll, having won three of their last four games in the Premier League, drawing the other one, and are heading into this fixture on the back of a 4-2 win against Everton.
However, Sunderland have taken points off Manchester City and Tottenham Hotspur in back-to-back games and drawn away at Brighton & Hove Albion.
Sunderland have seen under 2.5 goals in their last five games, while Brentford have seen a similar outcome in six of their last eight.
The Black Cats will be organised, and despite not winning away from home since October, we expect them to produce another strong performance and at least get a point.
Pre-game odds and win probability: Brentford strong favourites
HOME: 4/5 (1.8) – 55.6%
DRAW: 13/5 (3.0) – 27.8%
AWAY: 10/3 (4.33) – 23.1%
*Odds from Ladbrokes, subject to change
The Bees are in tremendous form during the festive period, and it does not come as a big surprise that the bookies consider them as overwhelming favourites to win the game at home.
After two defeats and a draw in early December, Brentford are undefeated in their last four games and are priced at 4/5 (1.8) with 55.6% chances of winning.
Sunderland have not won away from home since beating Chelsea in October, scoring just twice in five outings, and they are priced at 10/3 (4.33) with 23.1% chances of picking up all three points.
The Bees have seen under 10.5 corners in five of their last six games, and 8/13 (1.62) odds with 61.7% chance of happening looks tempting.

Brentford preview: Impressive home form
The Bees are unbeaten in their last six home games, and they sit just one point behind fifth, which could be worth a Champions League place.
Dango Ouattara and Frank Onyeka are still at AFCON, while Andrews may reshuffle the pack by bringing in Keane Lewis-Potter, Jordan Henderson and Rico Henry.
Predicted lineups: Kelleher (GK), Kayode, Collins, Berg, Henry, Damsgaard, Janelt, Henderson, Thiago, Schade & Lewis-Potter
Last five results:
- Everton 2-4 Brentford
- Brentford 0-0 Tottenham

Sunderland preview: Solid at the back?
One cannot help but admire Sunderland's solid defence, as they earned points against Spurs, Man City, Leeds United, Brighton and Newcastle in their last five games.
The Black Cats are without six players at the AFCON, while Wilson Isidor is doubtful due to a minor issue.
Predicted lineups: Roefs (GK), Cirkin, Alderete, Mukiele, Hume, Geertruida, Xhaka, Adingra, Fee, Mayenda & Isidor
Last five results:
- Tottenham 1-1 Sunderland
- Sunderland 0-0 Man City
- Sunderland 1-1 Leeds
- Brighton 0-0 Sunderland
- Sunderland 1-0 Newcastle
Player to watch: Igor Thiago
Thiago missed almost the entire 2024-25 campaign due to a severe meniscus injury and played only eight games.
It is a different story this season, and the Brazilian has found the net 14 times in the Premier League in 20 appearances.
