Sunderland Vs Brentford Preview
Earlier this season, Sunderland drew with Brentford in west London. Since then, the Black Cats have struggled in the Premier League and haven’t won since the opening home game of the season against Fulham. Last time out, the Mackems drew 0-0 with Leeds. Regis Le Bris’ side beat Hull in the third round to set up Wednesday’s tie.
As far as Brentford are concerned, they have proven to be a slippery customer to handle. As is customary with the Bees. Keith Andrews’ charges beat Reading in the previous round and have drawn two of their last three Premier League games.
Sunderland Vs Brentford H2H Record
Over the course of their 22 previous meetings, Sunderland boast the better H2H record. The Black Cats have ten wins compared to the Bees seven. In the last meeting at the Stadium of Light, late strikes from Enzo Le Fee and Wilson Isidor helped clinch a 2-1 home win.
- Sunderland wins – 10
- Draws – 5
