Sunderland v West Ham Odds: Danny Wellbeck can continue fine goalscoring form

Sunderland welcome West Ham to the Stadium of Light weather permitting on Sunday in the afternoon live match. Bookmaker Bet365 rates Steve Bruce's team as odds on favourites to take all three points and continue their good season. West Ham are struggling at the bottom of the league, but will be buoyed by their 3-1 win at home to Wigan last weekend plus a fantastic 4-0 win over Manchester United in the Carling Cup quarter final on Tuesday. Avram Grant's side can be backed at odds of 7/2 for a third win in a week on Sunday, whilst the draw is 5/2.

Sunderland sit in seventh place in the Premier League ahead of this weekend's fixtures but have drawn four of their seven games at the Stadium of Light. Earlier in the season, Steve Bruce's team were very reliant on Darren Bent to get their goals, but when he picked up an injury last month, Asamoah Gyan took up the goalscoring mantle and more recently it has been Danny Wellbeck in amongst the goals. The Manchester United loanee has scored four goals in his last three matches and is a 6/1 chance to grab the first goal on Sunday.

Goals have been somewhat of a feature in games involving these two teams, with there being at least three goals per game in each teams last three matches. Bet 365 go odds of 21/20 that there'll be over two and a half goals on Sunday, which looks a decent bet given Sunderland's attacking threats and West Ham's defensive woes. West Ham do welcome back their midfield talisman Scott Parker for the trip to the north east and do already have a win at the Stadium of Light this season, bagging a 2-1 win in the Carling Cup.

The pair have a win each and two draws in the last four meetings at Sunderland, but the home side surely have the edge in this Premier League clash. Sunderland have scored in all but one of the league games at home this season and that was a goalless draw with Manchester United, a match in which they dominated. With Darren Bent back fit and the likes of Asamoah Gyan and Wellbeck weighing in, a 2-1 correct score bet at odds of 15/2 looks the bet. West Ham have failed to win on the road so far this season and have just one win in their last nine Premier League starts. Confidence is high but they will have to work hard not to come crashing down to earth with a bump on Sunday.
