West Ham return to Premier League action aiming to build on a 2-1 win over Tottenham, but their home form remains a concern. Therefore, our prediction leans toward a 1-1 draw. The Hammers have taken only 0.80 points per home game this season and hold a modest 20% home win rate, despite averaging 1.40 goals scored at London Stadium. Defensively, Nuno Espirito Santo's side continue to struggle, conceding 1.80 goals per home match and keeping zero clean sheets in any competition. Lucas Paqueta is expected to recover in time, while Malick Diouf is back from international duty but likely to be rested.
Sunderland travel south with confidence after a steady run of form, collecting 1.20 points per game overall and showing resilience, especially at home. Their away numbers are weaker, however, with only 0.67 points per game on the road and a low 0% away win rate. The Black Cats score just 0.50 goals per away match, though they welcome Diarra and Talbi back into the squad, boosting their structure.
Historically, West Ham edge the H2H with 9 wins from 20 meetings (45%), while Sunderland have only 5 victories. As Sunderland’s away scoring average is just 0.50 and West Ham are inconsistent, Under 2.5 goals seems like the best betting option for this Premier League matchup. Additionally, Half-Time Draw and Draw bets seem tempting.
This Premier League match will be played on Saturday 24 January 2026 at 12:30.
