Manchester City vs Sunderland: prediction & betting odds 6 December 2025
Betting tips 6 December 2025
This season Sunderland are capable of taking points off anyone, including Arsenal, so second-placed Manchester City need to prepare carefully for their meeting with them.
In midweek Manchester City were involved in a high-scoring match at Craven Cottage that finished 5:4. It could have ended as a 5:1 win, but in the remaining 35-plus minutes they conceded three times. This result underlined why the team lead the way for goals scored (32), and their striker Erling Haaland is also top of the scoring charts (15). After three matches without a goal, he finally contributed again with a goal and two assists.
Recently Sunderland held Liverpool to a 1:1 draw. Liverpool had to come from behind after a goal by Chemsdine Talbi. They could even have snatched victory at Anfield, but Wilson Isidor's shot on the counter-attack was blocked by a defender. The team are only one point off the Champions League places and five points behind Manchester City.
Manchester City have not yet conceded a single goal from counter-attacks, but six of their 16 goals conceded have come from set pieces. At the same time Sunderland have scored from corners and free-kicks almost as often as from open play (six compared with seven), so we can consider a positive result for the visitors. Backing them with at least a small positive handicap looks reasonable.
