👉 Our prediction is: Over 2.5 goals in the match

We strongly suggest taking the total to go over 2.5 goals in this matchup between Sunderland U21 and Manchester City U21.

👉 Our prediction is: Manchester City U21 to win the 1st half

Manchester City U21 is a tough opponent to face, particularly away from home. They have enough dangerous attacking weapons to deal some damage up front, while the defence is quite solid as well.

It would not be a shock if they come in and give their hosts Sunderland U21 a bit of a scare in the early going.

That is why we recommend taking Manchester City U21 to win the first half.
