Our Prediction<\/th>\nOdds & Bookmaker<\/th>\nConfidence<\/th>\nWhy We’re Backing It<\/th>\n<\/tr>\n<\/thead>\n
Sunderland Double Chance<\/strong><\/td>\n19\/4 @ Bet365<\/a>
(17.4%)<\/td>\n		\u2b50\u2b50\u2b50\u2b50<\/td>\nThis bet looks value given Sunderland\u2019s 3 clean sheets and United\u2019s finishing woes this season. Man Utd have lost three of their opening six games and conceded 11 goals, so far this season. Sunderland have been overperforming this season, winning three of their six games and sitting in fifth position. That includes taking four points from a possible nine away from home.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
Under 2.5 Goals<\/strong><\/td>\n13\/10 @ Bet365<\/a>
(43.5%)<\/td>\n		\u2b50\u2b50\u2b50<\/td>\nBoth sides average just over 1 goal per game this season, both scoring seven goals in six games. This should be another really tight game, with neither side excelling offensively. Sunderland have been performing well in defence, though, conceding just four goals to this point this season, compared to Man Utd’s 11.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Our approach: Start with Sunderland Double Chance as the value anchor, add Under 2.5 Goals for accumulator potential.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
