Brentford favoured (50%) Key factors: • The model expects Brentford to create significantly more chances (1.5 xG vs 0.9 xG). • Brentford are without key midfielder Fábio Carvalho (Cruciate ligament tear). • Playing at home is a factor in Brentford's favour. • Sunderland's attacking numbers are underwhelming. • Brentford have had a long break of 13 days and may take time to find their rhythm. Most likely scoreline: 1-1.
