Match Preview:
The Premier League fixture between Sunderland and West Ham is indeed scheduled to take place today, August 16, 2025, at the Stadium of Light. This match marks Sunderland's return to the Premier League after an eight-year absence, following their promotion from the Championship on May 24, 2025, a fact that supports your observation about their need to adjust to the top flight.

Head-to-head records show that in their last six encounters, West Ham has won three, which aligns with your prediction of Sunderland having lost 50% of these matches.

Match Prediction: 
As the season's opening match, this will be the first league game for both teams, and their recent form statistics are from the previous season's competitions and pre-season friendlies. While your assessment of their recent performance is a valid basis for a prediction, the current match will be the first official league test of the new season.
