The Bees average 1.86 goals per match and generate 15 shots per outing, comfortably outstripping Sunderland's 0.86 goals and 11.6 shots. A 33% clean sheet rate further underlines their defensive solidity compared to the hosts' meagre 14%. Sunderland's recent form reads poorly, with three defeats in their last five, while Brentford remain unbeaten in four. Over 2.5 goals at 1.75 also appeals given Brentford's attacking output.
