West Ham United welcome Sunderland in a match that looks heavily tilted in favour of the Premier League side. While Sunderland is a respected club with a strong fighting spirit, the gap in squad quality, match experience, and tactical depth gives West Ham a clear advantage.
This game is also interesting for bettors because it has strong potential for goals and corner kicks, especially if Sunderland spends long spells defending and West Ham dominates possession.
Match Preview: What to Expect
West Ham are expected to take control of this match early, pushing forward using their wide players and overlapping runs from full-backs. Sunderland, on the other hand, will likely approach the match with discipline, aiming to stay compact and hit West Ham on the counter-attack.
This setup usually creates two things:
- More corners for the home team (because of constant attacks and blocked crosses)
- More goals chances, especially in the second half when the underdog begins to tire
