Sunderland vs Brentford Preview
Sunderland produced an amazing comeback in their latest game against Bristol City. After a woeful first half, the Black Cats found themselves 3-0 down and facing another humiliating defeat in the Championship. However, an own goal by Bristol City defender Josh Brownhill seemed to spark a fire in Sunderland’s furness which proved to be the catalyst in an energetic and fighting final 20 minutes from the visitors which saw them net two more to return to Wearside with a precious point.
Sunderland have severely underperformed this season and are in real danger of slipping into League One if manager Chris Coleman fails to extract some big performances from his players. The Black Cats only have one win in their last seven, of which five were defeats, but they will take confidence away from their comeback last weekend and Coleman will be urging his players to produce some of that fighting spirit that they displayed in the final 20 against Bristol City.
Chris Coleman will be without defender Marc Wilson, midfielder Jonny Williams and striker Duncan Watmore through injury. Ethan Robson and Aiden McGeady both played parts in last weekends comeback after coming off the bench and Coleman may choose to give the pair starts in replacement of midfielders George Honeyman and Joel Asoro.
Brentford were looking good for a play-off place but consecutive losses to Norwich and Derby followed by a 1-1 draw against Present have left The Bees midtable and 8 points off 6th placed Bristol City. With 15 games left, there is enough time to close that gap but to do so they have to take maximum points from games like this.
Brentford will be without striker Lasse Vibe who found the net 7 times this season before moving to Chinese Super League club Changchun Yatai over the weekend. Defender Sergi Canos is suspended after receiving a straight red early in the game against Derby two weeks ago while Rico Hendry is unavailable for selection due to injury.

Sunderland vs Brentford Predictions
If it wasn’t for Sunderland’s comeback last weekend against Bristol City, we’d favour Brentford to take home all three points. However, if they can display the fighting spirit which allowed them to take away a point from that game then they should be able to put the pressure on Brentford who are winless in three. Both teams will see this game as winnable with Sunderland needing points to get out of the relegation zone and Brentford still pushing for a playoff spot. We’ve tipped a draw in what could be a challenging encounter for both sides.
