Premier League: Sunderland vs Manchester City

Sunderland vs Manchester City Betting Tip and Predictions. In the Round 24 of Premier League, Sunderland take on Manchester City. Read below betting preview, useful info and predictions for the match between Sunderland vs Manchester City.

Sunderland stand in the relegation zone and their main goal in the second half of the season will be to stay in the best football league in England. They know that Man City are big favorites to take all three points, but they have nothing to lose and will do their best in order to stay unebaten tonight. Their recent form is not such bad. In the last 4 Premier League matches they lost only once (2-1-1). Sunderland beat Swansea and Aston Villa, took one point against Bournemouth, but Spurs smashed them 1-4. Big blow for home side is the absence of their important defender Sebastian Coates (16/0 d), who left the club has joined Sporting Lisbon on loan, so he would be replaced by Lamine Kone, who will debut for home side in defence. Two new players midfielder Wahbi Khazri (from Bordeaux) and striker Dame N’Doye (from Trabzonspor) could also make their debut for Sunderland on this match.

Manchester City are one of the main candidates for the title and they have to go for a win on this game in order to stay in race for the title. After Aguero has recovered from an injury and joined the team, Manchester City have started to play better in the attack. Sergio Aguero scored 4 goals in the last two Premier League matches and without any doubt he will be the most dangerous player for home defence. Big blow for visitors could be the absence of de Bruyne, who picked up an injury in the Capital One Cup – Semi-finals victory over Everton, but the good news are that Kolarov has recovered from an injury and will be available for this game. Manuel Pellegrini will leave the club on 30 June and will be replaced by Pep Guardiola, who has agreed a three-year contract to become Manchester City manager in the summer.

Both teams have different ambitions and both need points. Visitors are favorites to win this game, but home side will try to take at least one point. I expect an open match between Sunderland vs Manchester City and many goals, at that’s my betting prediction for this game.
