Sunderland will face Brentford in the 1/8 finals of the English League Cup on October 28. Will the black cats be able to stand up to their opponent and what bets will they play in the match? The answer is in our betting tip
Command Analysis
Sunderland
The English championship team fails and takes the last place in the standings with five points in the asset, which consisted of one victory and two draws. It will be extremely difficult to fight for a residence permit in the elite, and the composition is weak by the standards of the Premier League. In the last round, the wards of Regis Le Brice scored a goalless draw with Leeds, and earlier lost 0:2 to Bournemouth. In the last match in the Europa League, the black Cats could not beat the Polish Lech (1:1).
Brentford
Brentford are showing solid results in the Premier League and have suffered only one defeat since the start. In the last round, the team exchanged goals with Hull (1-1) and brought the winless streak to three consecutive games in the Premier League. Keith Andrews' team had previously failed to win against Liverpool on their own field. At the end of the first half, the team took the lead, and in the 45th minute of the match they remained ten, which led to two goals conceded in the second half of the game – 1:2 in total.
The visiting team looks much more powerful and, with a more experienced squad, should be able to compete in the League Cup without any problems from the opponent. It should be noted that in face-to-face matches, Brentford beat Sunderland only once in five meetings. Keith Andrews' men look confident in the championship, they are fighting for a place in European competitions, and in the last League Cup match they beat Reading (2:1) on the road. We suggest considering the victory of the bees, which will lead to the quarterfinals of the competition.
Prediction — Brentford wins with a coefficient of 2.07
