Sunderland encounters this afternoon starting from 17.00 Manchester City on The Stadium of Light. The Sky Blues are aiming to improve their game and further distance themselves in the league as the passed games proved that each point is very important in the title competition against Manchester United. If there is a good moment to prove their intentions now is the time, so an Away Win @1.62 is to be expected.

Looking at the stats from pass matches we can see that:
* Sunderland have lost only 1 of the last six at home, but 4 of these games have been drawn. A number of 8 goals have been both scored and conceded in this period. They find themselves struggling down in 15th position in the league having picked up 18 points from their 18 matches.
* Manchester City have an average recent record on the road, with two wins, two draws, and two defeats. A generous 7 goals have been both scored and conceded in this period. They are leading the way in the Barclay's Premier League, with their 18 games giving them a return of 45 points.

Bottom line, I expect a close match where City is to make the difference.
