Sunderland v Man United Prediction and Betting Tips

Saturday’s tea time kick off sees champions Manchester United travel to the Stadium of Light to face struggling Sunderland in an eagerly anticipated fixture in which both teams are desperate to pick up points.

Man United still come in as clear favourites for the match and can be found at a best price of 8/13 with Paddy Power. A draw would be best placed with Sky Bet who offer odds of 31/10 whilst the more ambitious bet of backing bottom of the table Sunderland would be best placed with Bet365 at 5/1.

Though early season form can often count for little at this stage of the season it is these two teams that have most probably had the most eventful and meaningful opening six games leaving questions to be answered in this fixture. The Paulo Di Canio soap opera has been cancelled with Sunderland languishing at rock bottom of the Premier League table, with the visit of the league holders standing in the way of the Mackems in their quest to stop the rot and earn back some pride in the red and white side of the North East.

Sunderland are yet to win a  league game, but with a change of manager and the passion Kevin Ball brings to the job it could yet be Manchester United who are coming into the fixture with less confidence. After a shaky start under David Moyes, the Red Devils find themselves mid-table behind the likes of newly promoted Hull City and Cardiff and after a less than convincing point away in Ukraine on Wednesday night, Sunderland cannot be written off completely when thinking about a football tip.

If you where one of the people who can see Sunderland playing above their current selves and Man U continuing to slip up then a draw could be what you are looking for, Bet Victor are offering a 1-1 score draw best at 15/2 which seems to be more likely than the best prices for a 0-0 also coming from Bet Victor at 12/1.

Nevertheless, it is difficult to look past United and one would expect them to find a change in their fortunes and this could well happen thanks to the return of Robin Van Persie who is no doubt going to carry the struggling midfield in the game and the prolific striker the first place to look for a first goal scorer with Coral offering him at 4/1 to score first or for those willing to risk the fitness of Wayne Rooney the Englishman can be found pretty close at 9/2 with Ladbrokes.
