[Tips]:
After Sunderland A.F.C.'s 3-0 victory over West Ham United F.C. in their opening game, they suffered two consecutive defeats and lost to Huddersfield Town A.F.C. in a penalty shootout in the EFL Cup, which dealt a blow to their morale.
On the other hand, after losing 1-3 to Nottingham Forest F.C. in the first round, Brentford F.C. quickly adjusted and defeated Aston Villa F.C. 1-0.
They also won 2-0 against AFC Bournemouth in the EFL Cup, showing a recovery in form.
Sunderland A.F.C.'s attacking play emphasizes crosses from wide areas and set-pieces, though they show vulnerability in defending aerial duels.
In contrast, Brentford F.C. excel at ground-level penetration and pose significant threats from dead-ball situations, with a notably high proportion of long throws directly into the penalty area from the attacking third.
Additionally, Brentford F.C. demonstrate superior tactical cohesion and more effective execution of game plans.
So Brentford F.C. are expected to extend their good form and historical dominance, remaining unbeaten in this away game.
