Manchester United vs Sunderland – League Cup Predictions

Posted on January 22, 2014 by SoccerPunter

Manchester United vs Sunderland for the 2nd leg of League Cup semi-finals will be played at Old Trafford.

Manchester United are desperately looking for a win to appease their home fans after a series of disappointing match results. Their manager David Moyes is under pressure to deliver especially after last weekend Premier League humiliating 3-0 defeat to Chelsea.

It is virtually impossible for Man United to defend their Premier League title given their precarious situation in the league table. So we expect Man United to field a strong line-up and beat Sunderland in front of Old Trafford faithfuls.

In the first leg match of League Cup, Sunderland beat Manchester United 2-1. So, a 1-0 win would be enough to see Manchester United through to meet Manchester City in the finals.

H2H records show that Manchester United remain unbeaten after 21 meetings with Sunderland at Old Trafford. The last defeat came on 1968 during a Premier League match.

1×2 odds for Sunderland to win has rose over 20% at Dafabet, in line with our consensus that Sunderland will not win this League Cup match. See odds comparison analysis.
