Manchester United vs Sunderland Prediction

Manchester United Form

Manchester United are currently performing inconsistently, as they lost against Manchester City by a 3-0 score, before winning 2-1 against Chelsea. They were back on the losing side in a 3-1 defeat against Brentford. Manchester United won half of their previous six matches on home soil in the Premier League, while also drawing zero. They suffered three defeats, while they scored seven and conceded seven goals.

The Red Devils had their sights set on the Premier League title, but current form sees them way off track. A quick upturn is needed.

Sunderland Form

Sunderland look solid currently after going three matches unbeaten, which started by drawing 0-0 against Crystal Palace. They followed that up by sharing the spoils with Aston Villa in a 1-1 draw, before taking out Nottingham Forest in a 0-1 win. Sunderland won twice, while also recording one draw, and three defeats in their last six away matches in the Premier League. The scoreline from these matches says nine goals conceded and four scored.

They are one of only a few teams capable of taking the title in the Premier League, and Sunderland currently remain on course.

Bookmakers have Manchester United down as rather big favourites for the win against Sunderland. While it might prove a bit more troublesome than odds suggest, we find it equally tempting to side with the hosts.

Manchester United fought their way to zero wins and zero points from their last one games against teams inside the top six. They were on target zero times in these matches, but also let in three goals. Manchester United only drew once so far this season after six games played, in stead recording two wins and three defeats in the Premier League. Sunderland enjoy a record of three wins, two draws and one defeat in the Premier League.
