The fourth round of the Carabao Cup takes place this week, including Sunderland and Brentford going head to head on Wednesday night at the Stadium of Light for a place in the quarter finals.Sunderland vs Brentford details overviewDate: Wednesday 28th October 2026Kick-off: 7:45pmVenue: Stadium of Light, Sunderland, UKHow to watch: Sky Sports+Sunderland vs Brentford quick tipsBrentford to win to nil at 11/4 with Midnite Callum Wilson to score at 17/10 with SBKVitaly Janelt to be carded at 21/10 with MidniteGet all three combined into one bet builder at 22/1 with MidniteSunderland vs Brentford predictionBrentford make the long trip up north from the capital as odds on favourites to book their place in the quarter finals of the Carabao Cup, which would mark the club’s third successive season doing so.Keith Andrews’ side head to the Stadium of Light looking to get back to winning ways after going winless across their last three outings, a run which has seen them drop out of the top four in the Premier League table after a blistering start to the campaign.After stalemates against Aston Villa and Hull sandwiched a home defeat against Liverpool, the Bees currently sit sixth place, just two points behind fifth placed Chelsea, but such is the tight-knit nature of the table at the stage of the campaign, are also only three points above 15th placed Fulham.The west London side are undefeated across all of their matches away from home this season in all competitions, but are yet to win on the road against Premier League opposition this season.Sunderland also head into Wednesday night’s match without a win across their last three games, and haven’t won in a domestic game since early September when they booked their place in Wednesday night’s match with a 1-0 home win over Hull.Regis le Bris’ side’s run of four defeats in their last five domestic matches has left them sat rock bottom of the Premier League table, even after picking up a point on Sunday afternoon against Leeds, their fifth point earned across their opening eight matches.The Black Cats are currently two points from safety in what’s been a miserable league campaign so far, but have taken solace in the cup competitions so far, reaching at least the last 16 of the Carabao Cup and having earned seven points from their three Europa League matches upon their first European campaign in 53 years.The Wearside club hadn’t won a Carabao Cup match since 2021 prior to last month’s win at Hull, and now find themselves just one win away from equalling their best performance in the competition since they reached the final 13 years ago.With neither team in particularly strong from ahead of Wednesday’s clash, perhaps a low scoring match is the most likely. Brentford have lost just once this season in all competitions and their undefeated away record should stand them in good stead – I’m backing a 1-0 away win.
