Sunderland: As a promoted or mid-to-lower team, it is expected that its recent record will fluctuate greatly, and its home performance may have bright spots but the overall stability is insufficient, and the defensive end will be under great pressure when facing strong teams. Manchester City: As the top giants in the league, it is expected that it will be in stable form recently, with strong firepower in the attacking line, strong ability to score points away from home, and continue to maintain its championship competitiveness in the league.

The initial odds offered by the odds agency (7.90 for home wins, 4.87 for draws, 1.46 away wins) clearly reflect the huge gap between the strength of the two sides and market expectations.
