Betting Insights
A clash of these two different styles should produce an end-to-end game and both teams have enough talent to hit the net in this one, so we’re taking Both Teams to Score - Yes and Over 2.5 goals here.
Prediction
- With United in such good form, we’re going to tip them to come away with all three points on Saturday, but we think Sunderland will get on the scoresheet with the home crowd behind them, so this could be a lively, goal-heavy game.
- We’re tipping them to do so three times with Sesko on the scoreboard at least once.
