West Ham vs Tottenham Prediction & Betting tips
On Saturday, October 20, 2018 at 15:00 clock the duel between West Ham and the Tottenham Hotspur is kicked off. In London’s Olympic Stadium, two London teams meet. The Spurs, from the north of London, are fifth in this game. That puts them in the middle of the leading group. The gap to Leader Manchester City is just two points. The 15th place of the Hammers, on the other hand, is a disappointment. Only seven points after eight games are the worst start to the season since the relegation season of 2010/11. Nevertheless, betting on the away team will offer odds of around 1.80. After all, won West Ham in the last home game against Manchester United. At the moment, Harry Kane is again Tottenham’s top scorer with five goals. Also in this London Derby we expect a hit from him. In the duel between West Ham and Tottenham a tip on at least one goal by Harry Kane is recommended. The striker scored twice in the opening half of the game against West Ham.
West Ham:
In recent games, a clear upward trend in the Hammers can be seen. After four games, the team of Manuel Pellegrini stood with zero points at the bottom of the table. In the last four games, however, West Ham scored seven points. The highlights of this run were the two home games against Manchester United and Chelsea. West Ham scored a 3-1 home win against the Red Devils, and a hard-fought 0-0 draw against the Blues ended. However, there are already five defeats after eight games. This is the second worst score in the entire league. Will the uptrend in the home stadium continue against the Spurs?
If the three points in East London are to remain on Saturday, then the star of the previous season of the Hammers, Marko Arnautovic, again a good game deliver. His four goals so far are enough for a place among the most accurate players in the Premier League. By comparison, Mohamed Salah has only scored three goals so far. In addition, the Austrian returns with a success from the international break.
The injured list at West Ham is long. With Andy Carroll and Manuel Lanzini missing important players in the offensive. Then there’s Winston Reid, Carlos Sanchez and Jack Wilshere, who just can not get his injury problems under control. But despite the many injured Pellegrini will be able to send a powerful force on the field, has the boardroom of Hammers but also invested this summer again vigorously. Still, bookmakers West Ham look to Tottenham for betting on the outsider role.
Tottenham:
In the league, the Spurs act solidly. After eight games are 18 points in the account. The two defeats caught the North Londoners against Watford and Liverpool. The highlight of the season so far was certainly the 3-0 win away against Manchester United. Mauricio Pochettino has to be more concerned about international competition. After two games are already two defeats in the table. To qualify for the round of 16 from this position should be extremely difficult. After all, Inter Milan and FC Barcelona have already earned six points and are thus at the top of the table. Next Wednesday, Spurs will play a very important game against PSV.
Tottenham’s Talisman is Harry Kane again this season. Even against West Ham, the star should be the focus. The Spurs are reliant on a top performance of the Englishman, because some regulars are not available. Dele Alli and Jan Vertonghen will certainly fail. Questionable are Christian Eriksen, Danny Rose and Moussa Dembele. Should all these players fail, Tottenham should be hard at work again this time against West Ham. If you believe the betting operators, the Spurs go into this game as a clear favorite.
