Brentford and Sunderland will play in the third round of the English Premier League. Both teams will aim to finish in the top half of the standings. Who will be able to win on September 5th in a head-to-head match? The answer is in our betting tip
Command Analysis
Brentford
Current form
Brentford managed to start the current season in the English Premier League with a big victory in the London Derby over Tottenham (3-0). Then they managed to arrange another defeat, knocking Birmingham out of the English League Cup (6:1). On August 30, Keith Andrews' team still lost points, drawing 1-1 with Leeds on the road. The hosts are in fifth place in the standings.
Disqualifications and injuries
Milambo and van den Berg will miss the match due to injuries. The appearance of Da Silva and Jensen is questionable.
Interesting betting trends
Three of the last four Premier League matches involving Brentford ended in a draw.
The hosts have scored 10 goals in their last three matches.
Sunderland achieved great results last season. No one expected a Premier League newcomer to struggle to get into the European Cup zone, but the black Cats were able to take seventh place and qualify for the Europa League. There, the wards of Regis Le Brie will start in mid-September. The visitors started the new season in the Premier League with an away defeat against Ipswich (1:2), but in the second round they managed to win a home victory over Fulham (1:0).
Disqualifications and injuries
Diarra will miss the match due to injury.
Interesting betting trends
In the last 11 matches, the guests have never drawn
The team has scored in each of the last six matches
Brentford plays on their own field, where they rarely fail. The London club suffered its last defeat at home back in February. Tottenham managed to defeat Tottenham in the first home match of this season, and Sunderland will probably be beaten, because in the first round the black Cats lost even to the Premier League newcomer Ipswich. Everything is going to ensure that the home team gets three points.
The hosts are very effective at the start of the season, and they were able to demonstrate high performance in friendly matches. The guests have also not left the field for a long time without scoring a goal, so you can expect a lot of goals from this confrontation.
Our betting tip is a total of more than 2.5 goals per 1.80
Betting on corners
In all matches this season, the hosts outplayed their opponents in terms of the number of corners, and Sunderland lost to Fulham in this indicator, despite the final victory. In this match, the advantage of Brentford is expected, and it will certainly be possible to surpass the opponent in terms of corners.
Our betting tip is an Asian head start (-2.5) on the Brentford corners in 2.15
