Sunderland took a hard earned home point against Chelsea on Saturday. Back to the Stadium of Light they face another of the best teams of the league – Manchester City on Wednesday. City are 4/9 favourites for the three points, and the option for a tie is up at 3/1 as for the Black Cats at 6/1 for the victory.
After their home draw against Chelsea on Saturday, Sunderland have eight draws of their thirteen games this season. Scoring goals is still a huge problem for Gus Poyet’s men as they have scored just the four goals in their last six played and three of those all came in one match against the team of Crystal Palace. This season the home record of Sunderland in the Premier League is W1 D5 L1, and they set up very well against the team of Chelsea, so punters may be tempted to try out the 3/1 quote on this one ending up as a draw, too. If there is a tie for real, then probably the game will finish with a result of under 2.5 goals. 29% of Sunderland’s home games this season have gone under 2.5 goals. The Black Cats have failed to score in three of their last five home games. Sunderland have actually lost just one of the last six Premier League games against Manchester City (W3 D2 L1), so they have a bit of form going as well. The goal from Phil Bardsley made the Black Cats take all three points in last season’s fixture and that is four 1-0 home wins in the Premier League for Sunderland over Man City.
Manchester City have failed to win their last five Premier League visits to the Stadium of light losing the last four in a row. It hasn’t been the most convincing of seasons from Manchester City this term, but they are still up there in the top four, but they have been shipping a lot of uncharacteristic goals this season. Regardless, the Citizens are nowhere near convincing enough back to win to nil in the game. City have largely been carried by the brilliance of one player that season, and this is Sergio Aguero! The Argentine guy has been in a sublime condition lately and is up as 3/4 favourite in the anytime goalscorer market for Sunderland v Man City betting. Anyway, there is the fact that the Citizens have won just one of their last six league games against Sunderland.
It’s hard to imagine the team Sunderland, who has won only two games for the whole season, running as favourites, but the statistics are that to suggest that Sunderland could get out alive. Best Football Predictions recommend you use +1.25 Asian Handicap on their shoulders for a price of 3/4.
