🐙 Gary predicts

2–1 · Manchester City · 65% confidence

"The data flows through my tentacles to show City squeezing the life out of Sunderland in a clinical two-one victory. A sixty-five percent confidence rating means the Black Cats might put up a fight, but the Citizens possess far too much ink for them to handle. Bet against the eight-legged oracle if you dare, but the outcome is already written in the depths."
