Manchester United vs Sunderland Predictions

United come in to this game having won three in a row in the Premier League, which coincides with the end of their Europa League distractions. They are widely expected to extend that run with Sunderland next up at Old Trafford. The problem for the Black Cats here is that they don’t start away games well.

 

Sunderland have just one first half away goal this term, while they’ve conceded three goals within the first 15 minutes this term. United have scored eight of their 11 goals in the first half at Old Trafford, and they’ll come in to this one full of confidence. That’s why we’re backing United to win the first half, at 4/6 with Coral for our first Man United vs Sunderland prediction.

 

Sunderland’s lack of goals isn’t just a first half problem. They average just 0.5 goals per game on the road, while they’ve failed to score in 62% of their away matches. On the other hand, United have kept a clean sheet in 38% at home, despite their mixed start. We’re backing United to win to nil for our second Man United vs Sunderland betting tip, it’s 10/11 with Paddy Power.
