LiontipsManchester City - Sunderland: betting tip (cf 4.00) and bets on the English Premier League match
Command Analysis
Current form
Manchester City seriously made their fans nervous in the previous round. The townspeople played Fulham in London, led 3-1 in the first half, increased the advantage to 5:1 after the break. It seemed that the cottagers would have no chance, but by the 78th minute they made a powerful comeback, reduced the gap to one goal and almost pulled out a fighting draw. Nevertheless, the 5-4 victory gave City three points and allowed them to consolidate their place in second place with a one-point lead over Aston Villa.
It is characteristic that a similar situation, as with Fulham, had before in the duel against Leeds. Then the townspeople led 2-0 in the score, but allowed the opponent to equalize, and they snatched the victory only in the 91st minute (3:2). Obviously, there are problems with the discipline of Josep Guardiola's players.
Today it will be a little easier for the townspeople, they will have to play at home. At the Etihad, they suffered only one defeat in the Premier League, while winning six. In terms of points scored on their own field, the townspeople are second only to Arsenal.
Disqualifications and injuries
Kovacic and Rodri are still out of the game.
Interesting betting trends
- Manchester City have seven wins in their last nine Premier League matches.

Approximate composition: Donnarumma – Nunez, Dias, Guardiola, O'Reilly – Silva, Nico, Reynders – Foden, Holland, Doku.
Current form
Sunderland continues to prove to everyone that it is no coincidence that they are among the contenders for European Cup places. Last week, Regis Le Brice's team took away points from Liverpool (1:1) on the road. All the main events in that game unfolded after the break. First, Talbi put Sunderland ahead, and then Mukiele scored, which allowed the Merseysiders to equalize. As a result, with 23 points in the asset, the black cats come to the start of the 15th round in sixth place and only in additional indicators are inferior to the fifth European Cup line Crystal Palace.
In recent rounds, Sunderland have clearly demonstrated that they should not be considered just a purely defensive team. In addition to the goal against Liverpool, they also managed to score three goals with Bournemouth (3:2). However, a more attacking game increasingly leads to the fact that the cats are not doing the best job in defense, which they were famous for at the beginning of the season: they failed to win back in six consecutive matches.
Despite all the successes and achievements, Sunderland is still the home team, and they rarely surprise you on the road. In other people's arenas, for seven matches played, the wards of Regis Le Brice were able to score only eight points, scoring only four goals.
Disqualifications and injuries
Diarra, Alice, Sirkin and Hjelde are injured and will not play today.

1.55Tip and bets
For two matches in a row, Manchester City's attack performed at a high level, creating a solid handicap, which the team then lost. It is unlikely that this situation will happen again for the third time, but Guardiola is obliged to work on the mistakes. There's a game ahead against Sunderland, who have repeatedly punished their opponents for losing their concentration. At the same time, the black cats have a tough duel with Liverpool, in which they left a lot of strength. The guests do not have wide opportunities to rotate the squad, especially since they will have to play against another grandee. Sunderland is not as dangerous on the road as at home, we think there should be no surprises today, the townspeople will finally achieve a confident victory due to a powerful attack.
Our prediction is that Manchester City will win with an Asian handicap (-1.5) by a factor of 1.76
Bet on the total
Manchester City's attack is showing itself in full force at this stage of the season, with eight goals scored against Fulham and Leeds. Sunderland have started to play in a much more open manner in recent matches, and the defense has increasingly begun to falter. We believe that the upcoming meeting will be productive.
The second bet is a total of more than three goals with a coefficient of 1.79
A bet on the exact difference in the bill
Manchester City lost a significant advantage in two consecutive matches and had nervous endings. We do not think that this situation will happen again for the third time, the townspeople will obviously bet on achieving a comfortable victory. We expect them to win today with a two-point advantage.
Prediction – Manchester City will win with a two-goal advantage with a coefficient of 4.00
