LiontipsSunderland - West Ham: betting tip (cf 2.24) and bets on the English Premier League match
Command Analysis
Current form
Sunderland were not among the main contenders for promotion, but they became one of the discoveries of last season. In the Championship, the team finished in fourth place and made it to the Premier League through the playoffs.
In the summer, the black cats actively began to strengthen the squad, although there were no special financial opportunities. We have acquired 10 new players at once. First of all, we note the appearance of the experienced Granit Xhaka, Habib Diarra, Simon Adingru and Omar Alderete. The main loss is the departure of Jobe Bellingham to Borussia Dortmund. The renewed Sunderland looked unconvincing in the test matches – only one win in eight matches played.
Disqualifications and injuries
Alese, Sirkin, Hjelde, Mandl, O'nayen and Huggins are injured and will not play today. Giu and Masuaku are in question.
Interesting betting trends
- In four of the last five matches, Sunderland have not won in the first half.
- In three of Sunderland's previous five matches, more than two goals had been scored.
Approximate line–up: Rufs – Hume, Balard, Alderete, Mandava–Roberts, Diarra, Xhaka, Adingra - Mayenda, Isidore.
Current form
West Ham significantly strengthened their squad before the start of the last Premier League draw and conducted a serious transfer campaign. The leadership was clearly betting on the fight for European Cup positions. However, the Londoners didn't even come close to meeting expectations and finished only in 14th place.
This time, the Hammers were not too active in the transfer market. Graham Potter relies on the players he has. A significant loss is the transfer of Mohammed Kudus to Tottenham. Among the acquisitions, we note the signing of Leicester goalkeeper Mads Hermansen and the arrival of the talented El Hadji Diouf from Sparta Prague. In the summer, West Ham took part in the Summer Premier League Series in the USA. The Hammers performed well, finishing second in the company of Manchester United, Everton and Bournemouth.
Disqualifications and injuries
Only Summerville will not play for West Ham.
Interesting betting trends
- In seven of West Ham's last eight Premier League matches, there has been an exchange of goals scored.
- In 13 of the 14 previous matches in the Premier League, the Hammers scored goals.
Approximate composition: Areola – Kilman, Todibo, Aguerd – Van-Bissaka, Soucek, Ward-Praus, Diouf – Paket – Bowen, Fulkrug.

7.50Tip and bets
Sunderland doesn't seem ready to start in the Premier League. The Black Cats performed too unconvincingly in pre-season sparring, scored few goals, and the obviously updated squad has not played yet. West Ham were not too active in the transfer market this time, Potter was calmly preparing the team for the championship, there was only one defeat in friendly matches. Plus, the Londoners have experience on their side. We believe that the guests today will be able to upset the newcomer.
Our betting tip is for West Ham to win by a factor of 1.91
Bet on the total
In seven of the last eight matches involving West Ham in the Premier League, there has been an exchange of goals scored. Sunderland at home in the first round will obviously make every effort to please the fans with goals scored, but it is unlikely that they will be able to win back against the powerful attack of the hammers.
The second bet is that both will score with a coefficient of 1.75
Betting on corners
West Ham is not famous for its high performance in terms of the number of serves from the corner flag. In 16 of the last 20 matches, the Londoners lost to their rivals in the corners. We expect that Sunderland will not concede on their own field in this indicator.
Prediction – Sunderland will not lose on corners with a coefficient of 1.85
