Matchweek 15 of the Premier League has arrived as Sunderland makes the trip to face Man City at the Etihad Stadium in a game that sees second place take on sixth. December is the busiest month of this competition, so get ready for a ton of games in the next few weeks.
Man City are -390 favorites on the moneyline for this one on DraftKings Sportsbook, with a draw available at +550. Fancy a Sunderland upset? The Black Cats are +950 to pick up three points.
Man City vs. Sunderland Prediction, Pick
This bet can be found under the “Match Parlays” tab. Although I like both teams to get on the scoresheet in this one, Man City should come out on top. The Citizens have an elite home record this season, winning six of their seven games and losing one. The sole loss was all the way back in August.
Although City are in decent form at the moment, they have also been conceding goals. They have managed only one clean sheet in their last nine games in all competitions.
Now, let’s look at Sunderland’s ability to score. The Black Cats have only been held scoreless once in their last seven Premier League games. It’s especially impressive when you consider that they managed to net twice against Chelsea, twice against Arsenal and once against Liverpool. They have shown they can score against the best teams in the country, and will likely do so again on Saturday.
Although these teams haven’t faced off since 2017, Man City have won each of the last five contests, and both teams managed to score in three of those. Sunderland have been sneaky good this season, and could give City some trouble. I think both teams find the net, but the Citizens find a way to get the three points in the end.
