Match Preview
West Ham United host Tottenham Hotspur at the London Stadium this Saturday in what promises to be an intriguing London derby. The Hammers have struggled for consistency, recording two losses followed by a win in their last five matches. In contrast, Spurs have shown more resilience, with three wins and a draw in their recent outings. Historically, this fixture has been competitive, with West Ham winning five of the last ten encounters, but Tottenham's recent form gives them the edge.
A key angle to consider is both teams' propensity to score, with eight of the last ten head-to-head meetings featuring both teams finding the net. Given the attacking talents on display, including West Ham's Michail Antonio and Spurs' Harry Kane, backing both teams to score (BTTS) at odds of 1.61 could be a prudent choice. Additionally, with the over 2.5 goals market priced at 1.72, the expectation for an open game seems justified, especially considering the attacking philosophies both managers employ.
