Match Preview: Brentford U21s v Sunderland U21s | OneFootball

Sam Saunders’ Brentford Under-21s return to Premier League 2 action at Wheatsheaf Park on Monday when they host Sunderland Under-21s (1pm kick-off BST).

After a busy opening to the season across the Premier League Cup and PL2, the young Bees will be hoping to make it two league wins from as many games.

The west Londoners have started positively at both ends of the pitch this season, keeping a clean sheet in a 2-0 Premier League Cup win over Wycombe Wanderers and scoring three goals to beat Stoke City U21s in PL2.

Saunders' side have enjoyed a spread of goalscorers, with Josh Dasilva, Michel Boni, Kaye Furo and Theo Mawene each netting so far this campaign.

Last time out

Brentford impressed on their way to a 3-2 win away at Stoke.

Furo got the Bees off to a flying start with an early goal, with Mawene following suit later on in the first half with a brilliant individual effort.

The hosts pulled one back before the break, but Saunders’ side reacted positively out of half-time to piece together a superb early move before Jayden Meghoma’s cross was turned into the Potters’ net by a defender.

While Stoke scored a second goal to make the latter stages of the second half tense, the Bees held on to take home all three points.

About Sunderland U21s

Sunderland sit second in the PL2 table following a dominant 5-1 win over Nottingham Forest in their season opener.

Trey Ogunsuyi starred for the young Black Cats with a hat-trick, while Jack Whittaker and Timur Tutierov also got on the scoresheet in the impressive victory.

Sunderland also got their Premier League International Cup campaign under way with a 1-1 draw against PSV U21s.

Led by head coach Matt Craddock, Sunderland will return home for their next two PL2 fixtures, which are against Ipswich Town and Norwich City.
