Sunderland v West Ham Odds

This Sunderland v West Ham Odds for this vital Sunderland West Ham betting Premier League match has the home side narrow favourites to win what promises to be a crucial game for both clubs. Gianfranco Zola who has been at the helm at West Ham for seven matches has yet to taste victory and another defeat here could prompt calls for his resignation as he has yet to make things happen at a club that were in 5th place in the Premier League when he took over from Alan Curbishley.

West Ham under Zola have suffered five defeats in their seven games, the other two matches only yielded draws, so with only 2 points from a possible 21, it is completely understandable why Zola is coming under so much fire, if they were to fail to win again in this match then surely action will be taken by the club, who simply cannot afford to be relegated.

There has been considerable speculation over Sunderland manager, Roy Keane's future at the club, murmurings that he was set to leave were rife, but victory last week over Blackburn quietened the speculation; but defeat in this match will certainly re-awaken discussions about his future.

The truth however is that Keane is doing as good a job as anyone could at Sunderland, they are not blessed with the same finances as the top clubs and Premier League survival can be their only aim this season. Under Keane, they have been a tad inconsistent but they get results when they matter, if they are to win this match, then their League position will look extremely positive.

Betting has Sunderland 6/5 favourites, West Ham are 11/4 and the draw is 5/2.
