West Ham Searching for Momentum at Home
West Ham’s 2-1 victory away at Tottenham last weekend offered a lifeline in their relegation battle, but home form remains a major concern. David Moyes’ side are winless in their last six at the London Stadium across all competitions, collecting just seven points from eleven home games this season.
Despite flashes of fight, the Hammers have struggled to maintain leads and often look short of creativity in front of their own fans. With five points separating them from safety, this fixture carries huge importance.
Jarrod Bowen has been the bright spark in attack, scoring six league goals so far, including strikes in two of West Ham’s last four home matches. His ability to exploit defensive lapses could again prove crucial.

Sunderland Looking to Extend Unbeaten Run
Sunderland’s 2-1 win over Crystal Palace last time out pushed them to 33 points, reviving hopes of a top-half finish. Regis Le Bris has made the Black Cats one of the league’s most organised and stubborn sides.
They’ve drawn nine of their 22 Premier League games this season, including five in their last seven — the most in the division. Away from home, Sunderland have been hard to beat but rarely spectacular, winning just twice on the road so far.
With a 16-point cushion above the relegation zone, a draw would suit Le Bris’ men just fine. Expect them to stay compact and limit West Ham’s chances, particularly in the first half.

West Ham United vs Sunderland Betting Tips & Predictions
With Sunderland’s draw-heavy record and West Ham’s poor home form, the stalemate looks the standout pick. Both sides average just over a goal per game, and five of Sunderland’s last seven have gone under 2.5 goals.
Expect a tight, low-scoring contest, and Bowen remains the most likely to make the breakthrough if anyone does.
