Sunderland vs West Ham United – (Saturday 3.00pm)

Posted by Scorecaster in Premiership.

Very, very interesting clash here with Sunderland looking to maintain their excellent home form in the league & West Ham United looking to try & build some consistency in their own results.

Sunderland have started life under the guidance of Steve Bruce in excellent style & sitting in 8th place in the Premier League table illustrates how well it has all gone & particularly at home with 4 wins from 5 in the league.

The level of quality within the Sunderland squad has definitely increased this year & most importantly they have added real attacking quality & a recognised goal threat in Darren Bent which has given them an important outlet in games.

This is a very important match for Sunderland because they will be looking to bounce back after defeat against Birmingham City in the League & also being knocked out of the Carling Cup so we do expect Sunderland to be very positive in this match.

West Ham United come into this match sitting 2nd bottom of the Premier League & desperate looking for their first league win since the opening day of the season.

Gianfranco Zola’s team know they need to start finding consistency in their performances but at least their brave comeback to get a 2-2 draw against Arsenal should give them a boost to their confidence levels & did illustrate the quality they have when they play with belief.

The key to West Ham United’s performance in this match is likely to be their defensive strength because they have looked fragile & they will have to be strong against the likes of Darren Bent & Kenwyn Jones if they are to get a positive result here.

We are looking forward to this game because both teams will be intent on playing attacking football & looking to win the match but the key for us looks to be the home advantage of Sunderland & given their strength at home, Sunderland do look a decent bet to get three more points here.
