Sunderland v Manchester United: Pre-Match Betting Analysis
Things are looking bleak for Sunderland as they sit bottom of the league, 10 points adrift of safety. Moyes’ men are now 6 league games without a win, failing to score on each occasion. Only Middlesbrough have scored less goals than the Black Cats this season, who have the worst home record in the league. Jermain Defoe has a commendable 14 Premier League goals this season but when he isn’t firing, Sunderland look void of ideas.
Consecutive draws have left United with much to do in the race for top 4. Mourinho’s side are 7 points behind 4th placed Manchester City although they do have 2 games in hand. Although Utd have drawn 3 of their last 4, they have actually won 5 of their last 6 in the road, scoring 2 or more goals on each occasion. Zlatan Ibrahimovic scored from the spot on his return from suspension in the week while Paul Pogba is likely to return to the starting XI here.
As expected, there is seemingly little value in most things related to shortly-priced United here. One potential angle here is Under 2.5 goals, this has landed in each of Sunderland’s last 5 games and in 5 of United’s last 6. Sunderland will do their best to keep things tight at the back. Under 2.5 goals is available at a shade above Evens and this is an appealing price. Manchester United to score in both halves at 11/10 is a standout price when studying the markets. This has landed in both of Sunderland’s last 2 loses at the Stadium of Light and in 2 of United’s last 3 away victories.
