Match Preview
Sunderland hosts West Ham United at the Stadium of Light on Saturday, 16 August, in what promises to be an intriguing Premier League clash. Sunderland's recent form shows a mixed bag with two wins, two draws, and a loss in their last five matches, while West Ham has struggled, managing only one win in the same period. Historically, Sunderland has had the upper hand in their last ten encounters, winning five and drawing four, which could give them a psychological edge going into this fixture.
