Sunderland – Manchester City Tip Premier League, Matchday 19 on Thursday, 01/01/26 at 21:00
If the promoted teams in the Bundesliga are gradually starting to show signs of wear and tear, things are still going pretty well for Sunderland in the Premier League.
Above all, it is clear from the home strength that Sunderland plays a really good role as seventh in the table. Still completely unbeaten in the Light of Stadium, the opponents are regularly turned off the lights in front of their own supporters.
So the league newcomer can now even spoil the start of the year for the Citizens – it is no coincidence that the usually impeccable Man City last slipped in Sunderland at the start of a new year (0:1 in 2012).
In any case, I expect a frosty reception for the guests in my Sunderland Manchester City. I placed my football bet “Double Chance 1X” with a German betting provider that has proven itself many times over.
Sunderland vs Manchester City AI predictions:
The Black Cats can cause a sensation as much as they like during the season: A camel is more likely to go through the eye of a needle than our in-house AI tool to take away the trust of the Citizens.
In principle, there is little to object to the Sunderland Man City AI prediction pleading for an away win, after all, the guests have already celebrated eight competitive wins in a row.
Accordingly, it would not be a sensation if there were now also a ninth victory. With values of not even quite 1.50, however, this scenario is simply too weak for me – after all, it goes into the Stadium of Lights!

The other tips from our AI also focus on Manchester City’s qualities. Statistically substantiated, an offensively strong performance by the Citizens is predicted.
After Man City scored a total of an incredible 28 goals in the last eight games played in January, the prediction “Man City over 2.5 goals” at odds of around 2.50 is even well below the statistical average.
Meanwhile, with slightly lower odds of around 1.80, all those bettors who follow the KI tip after both teams score at least one goal on New Year’s Day will be served
Taking into account the fact that Sunderland averages almost two goals per home game, I have gratefully adopted this recommendation of the artificial intelligence on my betting slip!
