Tottenham vs West Ham Preview
Ange’s Brave Football
Spurs are so much fun to watch this year. You know it’s going to be a cracker if Ange’s side are playing. It’s brave football, to say the least. Manchester City vs Spurs gave us an all-time Premier League classic. Their dramatic 3-3 draw with City would have lifted even the most pessimistic Spurs fan.
However, the West Ham challenge looms large. Unbeaten in their last three matches, David Moyes’ squad approaches this game with an awareness of Tottenham’s vulnerabilities but also their slightly bonkers and entertaining style. With the importance of bragging rights echoing in the capital, West Ham will be looking to capitalise on Tottenham’s recent struggles.
While the draw against the champions showcased Postecoglou’s front-foot approach, Tottenham remain in fifth place, trailing just two points behind fourth-placed Aston Villa. The imminent return of key players, Cristian Romero from suspension and Pape Matar Sarr overcoming a hamstring injury, provides a significant boost for Postecoglou’s strategic plans.
Can We Expect Goals?
The recent encounters between the two teams have seen a share of victories, draws, and a notable 2-0 win for Tottenham in their last meeting at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium. This match promises more dramatic moments, with key players like Giovani Lo Celso expected to earn another start, and potential returns such as Kurt Zouma for West Ham that should shore up the defence.
West Ham’s defensive vulnerabilities have been exposed in their recent Premier League away games, conceding eight goals against mid-table sides. Despite Tottenham’s injury concerns, their three goals against Manchester City demonstrated their attacking prowess, showcasing the firepower within the squad.
The upcoming clash is expected to take on a different dynamic, with West Ham likely to adopt a more defensive approach, camping on the edge of their box. However, the return of Richarlison provides additional options to Ange Postecoglou’s forward line, offering the potential to secure a return to winning ways for Tottenham.
Latest Premier League Betting Odds
After a great performance and an impressive comeback against City, Spurs played to their strengths and came away with a result. They are rightly favourites coming into this one at 1.76. West Ham, despite the good form, are outsiders at 3.84 with the draw at 4.20.
After a brilliant display in a game he did not get much service in, Heung-Min Son will hope to have a few more touches and is the favourite to open the scoring and continue his good form. Danny Ings is 9.10 to get back into some form and grab the first one for West Ham.
Tottenham vs West Ham Betting Tips
Bet Builder: Tottenham to win, both teams to score, and over 2.5 goals @ 2.75
Spurs have been playing rock and roll football so you always expect goals, even if they are conceding some of them. Expect them to win, but West Ham can make the most of their poor defending at times.
Bet Builder: Tottenham to win, over 2.5 goals and over 9.5 corners @ 3.20
Like we’ve said before, there are going to be goals here. However, the two sides have great keepers so there are likely to be corners.
Heung-Min Son to score first @ 4.90
He’s been in sparkling form and he was so good against City without having much of the ball. Given the right service, he’s the most likely to bag first here.
