7bet offers competitive odds for all Premier League matches, including this fixture.

1X2 Odds Betting Odds

In the 1X2 football betting market, you can choose between three possible outcomes:

• 1: Home win (Manchester City)
• X: Draw
• 2: Away win (Sunderland)

Let’s take a look at the Manchester City vs Sunderland betting odds in the 1X2 market: the odds for Manchester City’s win are 2/9, a draw is priced at 14/3, and Sunderland’s odds are 17/2. This means if you bet £2 on Manchester City and they win, you’ll earn £9 in profit plus your stake back. A successful £5 bet on a draw will return £14 in profit, and correctly predicting Sunderland’s win returns £17 for every £2. 

Before placing your wager, consider whether the bet has short or long odds. If it returns a small profit, it is said to have “short” odds, whereas bets with higher potential profits have “long” odds. Short odds pay less but have a higher chance of hitting, whereas long odds have a lower chance of success. 

You should also consider both teams’ recent form. City has had four wins and one loss in their last five Premier League matches, whereas the Black Cats have had three draws, one loss, and one win. Use this data to minimize your risk.

Double Chance Odds

The Double Chance market allows you to cover two outcomes, which gives you a better chance of winning. Here’s how it works:

• Manchester City or Draw (1X): This bet has 1/20 odds and loses if the Black Cats win.
• Manchester City or Sunderland (12): This is a match winner bet with 1/9 odds. It loses if the match draws.
• Draw or Sunderland (X2): The X2 bet is priced at 9/4. This bet loses if Manchester City wins.

Upon examining the odds and recent results, City appears to be stronger in this fixture. However, bettors should note that Sunderland has held major teams like Arsenal, Liverpool, and Aston Villa to a draw. In this scenario, a Double Chance bet is a safer alternative to 1X2. However, the downside is that it pays less. It is ideal for cautious bettors or if you are unsure which outcome to back.

Handicap Betting Odds

This market gives an advantage to one team and a deficit to the other. It is helpful if you believe one team is clearly stronger than the other.

All handicaps for this fixture are negative for City, which is considered the stronger team. The default betting line is fixed at -1.75. This means 1.75 points will be subtracted from Manchester City’s total, and the same number of points will be awarded to Sunderland. So, a score like 3–1 will be adjusted to 1.25–2.75, and bets on Sunderland will win, even if they lose the match.

Here are a few examples of whether your bet loses or wins based on different handicaps:

• Manchester City (-1.75) / Sunderland (+1.75): With this handicap, bets on Sunderland win if they win, draw, or lose by three or fewer goals. A 3–0 loss will be calculated as 1.25–1.75. Manchester City will need to win with at least a four-goal margin to overcome the gap. For example, a 4–0 score will be adjusted as 2.25–1.75, and bets on City win.
• Manchester City (-0.75) / Sunderland (+0.75): This is a small handicap where bets on Sunderland win if they lose by a one-goal margin. For example, a score of 2–1 will be adjusted to 1.25–1.75. Bets on Sunderland lose if they lose by two goals, like 2–0 (1.25–0.75).
• Manchester City (-1) / Sunderland (+1): Bets on Sunderland win even if they lose by a one-goal margin. A two-goal margin loss like 2–0 will lead to a draw (1–1). City will overcome the handicap with a three-goal margin win.

Both Teams to Score (BTTS) Odds

Here, bettors have to consider only one aspect of the match: whether both teams will score or not. You can bet on one of these two outcomes:

• BTTS Yes: Both teams will score at least one goal. The Manchester City vs Sunderland odds for BTTS Yes are 24/25. This bet wins if the score is at least 1–1 or higher.
• BTTS No: This bet wins if either or both teams don’t score. A successful BTTS No bet will have a zero in the final score, like 1–0, 0–1, 0–0, 0–2, etc.
  

Consider each team’s clean sheets to decide your bet. A clean sheet is when the team’s defense is strong, and the opposition team fails to score any goals. Both teams kept two clean sheets in their last 10 matches. Use this data to reduce your risk.

Goal Total (Over/Under) Odds

Predict whether the total goals scored in Sunday’s match will be over or under a fixed number. For this fixture, the betting line is set at 3.5 goals. So, if the final score looks like 2–2, the combined total becomes four, and Over 3.5 bets win. Similarly, if the final score is 1–0, the total becomes one, and Under 3.5 bets win.

City averaged 2.4 goals per match in its last 10 games, and Sunderland averaged 1.3. This brings their combined average goal total to 3.7, which is slightly above the 3.5 betting line. Use this data when considering the Manchester City vs Sunderland odds in the Over/Under market.

Correct Score Odds

Predict the precise score in this market. You’ll notice that the Manchester City vs Sunderland odds in the Correct Score market are long, which makes it a high-paying market. However, it comes with considerable risk as it is difficult to predict a precise score. So, make sure to bet only small amounts in this market to lower your risk.
