Manchester United v Sunderland Tips, Predictions & Latest Odds
Newly promoted Sunderland makes the trip to the Theatre of Dreams to take on Manchester United on Saturday afternoon.
The Black Cats are looking to pile more pressure on Ruben Amorim and his beleaguered Red Devils after a disastrous defeat to Brentford last week left the Old Trafford boss looking over his shoulder.
Free Bets has taken a look at some of the best tips ahead of the game.
Manchester United v Sunderland Tips
Here are our three top football tips ahead of the game.
Tip 1: Manchester United to win and BTTS
It’s been a tough start to the season for Manchester United, but their home form has been solid. They have played three home games so far and they have won two out of three. They did lose 1-0 to Arsenal on the opening weekend but they beat Burnley 3-2 and then Chelsea 2-1 to give themselves a good record at home.
They are going up against a Sunderland team that have started well this season. They are sitting fifth in the league with 11 points and have just come off a 1-0 win away to Nottingham Forest.
Despite good form away from home this will be a step up for the Black Cats as playing at Old Trafford still holds a lot of weight. Although United have struggled this season, at home they have been good. This is a must win game for Amorim if he wants to continue in his job and United’s home form should continue.
Tip 2: Wilson Isidor anytime goalscorer
So far this season Manchester United have conceded in two of their home games against Burnley and Chelsea. They have also conceded 10 times in the six games that they have played. Even if you include cup competitions, they haven’t kept a clean sheet.
Sunderland are not prolific scorers, but they have managed to get the ball in the net seven times in six league games. The scorer of three of them goals and Sunderland’s top scorer so far this season is Wilson Isidor.
The French centre forward started up front against Nottingham Forest last week and should see another start in this game. At around 3/1 he is a great price to score anytime against a team that can’t keep a clean sheet.
Tip 3: Granit Xhaka shown a card, Bryan Mbeumo to have 1+ shots on target and Wilson Isidor anytime goalscorer
Granit Xhaka has played every minute of Sunderland’s season so far and as a defensive midfielder he is always likely to pick up a card. He has already had two in the first six games and given that United should be attacking, he might make a wrong move and find his way into the ref’s book.
Bryan Mbeumo has averaged 2.5 shots per game in the first six games this season for United. He has also played 90 minutes in five of the six games as well. Given his attacking nature and the fact that the home team should be on the front foot, he should hit one shot on target.
As mentioned in the previous tip, Wilson Isidor was the main centre forward against Nottingham Forest last week. He has scored three times in six league games and United haven’t kept a clean sheet this season. He is worth including in this bet builder to score anytime.
