Match Setup

West Ham host Sunderland at London Stadium on January 24, 2026. Sunderland boasts a strong recent head-to-head record, including a dominant 3-0 victory in their last encounter. West Ham's squad is missing key players L. Fabianski (injured) and Lucas Paqueta (questionable), possibly impacting their stability in goal and midfield.

Team News

West Ham are missing goalkeeper Ł. Fabiański and midfielder Lucas Paqueta, which could weaken their backline and creative midfield play. Sunderland are without A. Alese, J. T. Bi, A. Masuaku, and B. Traoré due to injuries, potentially limiting their defensive robustness but not significantly affecting their offensive potential.

Game Scenario Analysis

If Sunderland scores first in the match at London Stadium, they could sit deep and absorb pressure, giving West Ham fewer opportunities. West Ham's recent form and squad injuries suggest they may struggle to break down a resilient Sunderland defense. A draw or Sunderland win looks likely given the current trends.

Tactical Betting Angle

Sunderland’s solid defensive discipline, combined with West Ham’s injury absences, points towards a match where Sunderland might restrict West Ham’s scoring chances. Expect Sunderland to play on the counter, utilizing set pieces and disciplined pressing to capitalize on West Ham's squad vulnerabilities.
