West Ham vs Tottenham Match Tips and Odds

Bet365 have the following odds available for this match:

West Ham are at 19/4 to win, a draw is at 3/1, and a Tottenham win is at 4/7.

Despite that recent record of home teams winning, Spurs are massively preferred by the bookmakers to win this match.  Like us, they see that Spurs are much better playing away from Wembley at the present moment.

They have been stop-start at their temporary home thus far, which is putting more and more pressure upon their away results.  That's why this match is 100% needed in order for them to continue to challenge the Manchester clubs.

Slaven Bilic will be under immense pressure, and he could well be out of the job soon if he doesn't turn around his side's play.  They are 17th in the table right now, and are trending upward, but has got to use his players in their most effective positions or he will find the sack.

Luckily for him, Arnautovic is coming off his first double assist game since 2015, and he could use him to tee up Chicharito.

Harry Kane to score anytime is at 4/5.

West Ham vs Tottenham Prediction

Spurs get a huge win away from home to keep up their fight for the title for now.

Correct Score Prediction: West Ham 0-1 Tottenham

Team News

Slaven Bilic will be unable to use center back Doneil Henry due to injury.  He's talked about not being able to use Carroll, Chicharito, and Antonio all at the same time in the last week.  Look for him to play just one or two here.

Key Man

Two goals in five matches perhaps isn't the kind of stat we thought we would see for Mexican striker Chicharito, especially after his start to the season.  He scored twice in the second match, at Southampton, but since then has not registered.  He's been shunted out wide of late, though, and that accounts for much of that.  That has to stop if he's to be successful, and surely it will here.

Team Form- WDWLW

West Ham have three wins, a draw, and a loss in their last five matches.  They won 0-2 away to Chelthenham Town in the EFL Cup before losing 3-0 at Newcastle in the league.  They bounced back with four points from the next two matches, beating Huddersfield 2-0 at home and drawing 0-0 at West Brom.  On Tuesday, they won 3-0 in the EFL Cup over Bolton.

West Ham Predicted Starting Line-up

Expected Line-up: 4-2-3-1

Team News

Mauricio Pochettino will be missing left back Danny Rose and winger Erik Lamela due to injuries.  Defensive midfielder Vincent Wanyama is due back soon, so he could feature but is very unlikely to start.  A huge number of changes will be made after their EFL Cup win, with a select few retaining a place.

Key Man

Harry Kane got a rare rest on Tuesday night as Pochettino decided not to risk playing him in the EFL Cup tie.  It was a wise move as well considering how many goals he has scored so far and the need to field him in this match.  He has just two Prem goals thus far, but they have come very recently, and was huge in the win over Dortmund.  His hot streak should get fully ignited here soon, and this is a chance for it to be lit.

Team Form - WDWWD

Spurs have two draws and three wins in their last five matches.  They drew 1-1 with Burnley in the league before defeating Everton 0-3 away.  Next came a 3-1 Champions League triumph over Borussia Dortmund and a disappointing 0-0 draw at home to Swansea.  On Tuesday, they won 1-0 over Barnsley in the EFL Cup.
