Edge Analysis
The market makes Brentford the side to beat here at 41%, but only just, so this reads as a close call rather than a mismatch. Our model lands on Brentford, and it backs that with a 2 units stake. Brentford arrive in solid unbeaten form to face Sunderland at the Stadium of Light. The visitors hold a fair price of 2.20 to win this Carabao Cup tie.
Sunderland come in patchy, winning 38% of 40 on record. 10 of their 20 home games went their way, and the numbers point to a fairly even scoring record. Right now they are on 1 loss in a row.
Brentford come in patchy, winning 43% of 40 on record. 8 of their 20 away games went their way, and the numbers point to a side that scores freely. Right now they are on 2 wins in a row.
The prices turn into 31% for SUN, 28% for the draw and 41% for BRE once the bookmaker margin is stripped out. There is little between the two in the market, so the edge, if there is one, sits in the detail rather than the headline price. Our call sits at 2.20, and we only stake it because the reasons for it outweigh the reasons against.
These two have been level across 3 past meetings, 1 wins each and 1 drawn. Nothing in the history separates them.
