Tottenham - West Ham Predictions

Prediction: Tottenham or draw
Best odds: 1.27

As the Premier League gears up for another thrilling encounter, all eyes turn to the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium where the home side will lock horns with West Ham in a match that promises to be a spectacle. With predictions on the fence and fans eagerly awaiting the outcome, we dive into the details that could tip the scales in this London derby.

Key Players - Tottenham

Tottenham, currently sitting at a comfortable third place in the league, boast of players who could be pivotal in deciding the game's fate. Emerson Aparecido Leite de Souza Júnior, a defender with a rating of 6.73, has been a consistent figure at the back. With 293 total passes and a crucial goal to his name, his presence is reassuring for the Spurs' defense.

On the attacking front, Richarlison de Andrade stands out with a rating of 6.89. His tally of 17 shots, seven on target, combined with three assists and a goal, shows he's a threat that West Ham must contain.

Not to be overlooked, Micky van de Ven, another defender with a rating of 7.09, has shown his worth with 678 passes and a goal, marking him as a key player in both defense and initiating attacks.

Key Players - West Ham

West Ham, positioned at 13th in the standings, also have their share of standout performers. Mohammed Kudus, a midfielder with a rating of 6.72, has shown promise with his playmaking abilities, although he will be looking to add to his tally of one goal and one key pass.

The Hammers' attack is spearheaded by Michail Gregory Antonio, an attacker with a rating of 6.89. With two goals and an assist, Antonio's physicality and pace could be the difference-maker.

Defensively, Kurt Happy Zouma with a rating of 6.89, has been a rock at the back. His contributions in terms of clearances, blocks, and a goal have been vital for West Ham's backline.

Recent Form

Tottenham's recent form reads 'LLWWW', showcasing a recovery from a dip with a string of wins that they'll be keen to continue. West Ham's form 'LLLDW' suggests inconsistency, but their latest win could provide a much-needed confidence boost.

Head-to-Head History

The head-to-head record between these two sides points to Tottenham's dominance in recent encounters. The last match on February 19, 2023, ended in a 2-0 victory for Spurs. Earlier in the season, the teams shared the spoils with a 1-1 draw on August 31, 2022.

Prediction

With the predictions not leaning decisively in either direction, this match could be swayed by individual brilliance or tactical discipline. Tottenham's home advantage and their position in the table, just beneath league leaders Manchester City and Arsenal, both at 27 points, make them the slight favorites.

However, West Ham, despite their lower league position, have shown that they can upset the odds, especially if Antonio and Zouma are at their best. The absence of a clear winner in the predictions adds an element of suspense, but given Tottenham's stronger recent form and their performance in the head-to-heads, they might just edge this encounter.

In conclusion, expect a tightly contested match with Tottenham likely to exert their authority at home. The key battle will be whether West Ham's defense can withstand the pressure from Spurs' attackers like Richarlison and van de Ven. The prediction: a narrow victory for Tottenham, with a strong possibility of goals at both ends. Keep an eye on the defensive stalwarts Emerson and Zouma who will be just as critical in shaping the outcome of this London derby.
