West Ham United vs Sunderland: match statistics
West Ham United presents very poor home form with only 18% of matches won at home and a disastrous series of 73% losses at their own stadium. Sunderland, meanwhile, has problems scoring goals on the road, recording just 0.45 goals on average per match and as many as 64% of matches without scoring. Both teams have shown unstable form recently, which suggests a close encounter. Considering West Ham's defensive weakness (averaging 2.27 goals conceded at home) and Sunderland's offensive problems away, I predict a draw as the most likely result. The xG statistics of both teams are similar, which further confirms the scenario of a points split.
