Tottenham vs West Ham Prediction & Betting tips
Before Tottenham Hotspur plays against Ajax in the semi-final of the Champions League, a London derby with West Ham United awaits the Spurs. With a win, Tottenham is almost certain of a top four ranking in the Premier League.
Tottenham Hotspur:
It must be a pleasure to be a Tottenham Hotspur supporter at the moment. Not only because you just have a new stadium, but also because you are in the semifinals of the Champions League and because you have more points than Manchester United, Chelsea and Arsenal. However, the Spurs supports will also realize that all positivity can change again in the coming two weeks, because if Tottenham is eliminated by Ajax and hands out a top four ranking, then the season suddenly is a lot less successful for the Spurs .
Tottenham has three points more than Chelsea in the Premier League, four points more than Arsenal and the lead over Manchester United is no less than six points. In short: the Spurs have to make it really big if they want to hand over Champions League qualifications. Manchester United and Chelsea will also play against each other this weekend and at the Spurs they naturally hope for a victory from Manchester United, because then Tottenham would increase the lead over Chelsea to six points. At least, if the Spurs first win from West Ham United in-house and that is not a certainty yet. Tottenham had a hard time with Tuesday & Tuesday with Brighton & Hove Albion, as Christian Eriksen made the only goal of the match just before the end.
West Ham United:
For West Ham United it has been a bit of a double season. On the one hand you can blame Manuel Pellegrini for not having performed as well as he can with The Hammers, but on the other hand that can also be explained. At West Ham United, just like last season, they suffered from injuries throughout the year and as a result, West Ham United has never really been able to join the teams competing for seventh place. The Londoners are currently in eleventh place in the Premier League and still have a hard time if they want to keep that eleventh place. The left-hand row is out of sight for The Hammers after the draw against Leicester City last weekend.
West Ham United did not get any further than a 2-2 draw against Leicester City last weekend at its own London Stadium. The Hammers took the lead twice against The Foxes, but gave that lead away both times. Unfortunately for the formation of Pellegrini, Leicester City made it 2-2 in extra time and West Ham United is therefore waiting for four games to win. By the way, The Hammers played against teams from the left-hand row in the past four games and with Tottenham Hotspur-off there will be another tricky duel for the Pellegrini team this weekend. West Ham United already met Tottenham twice at the London Stadium this season, but both the Premier League game (0-1) and the Carabao Cup game (1-3) were lost to The Hammers.
