Tottenham Hotspur FC vs West Ham United FC Match Prediction & Analysis

Fresh off an FA Cup exit, Tottenham Hotspur will be itching for a rebound when they host bottom-placed West Ham in a London deeby at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium on Saturday (8:30 AM) in Premier League action. 

Elsewhere, West Ham, buoyed by their FA Cup third-round win, will look to bring that spark into the league and put on a far better show than they did in the reverse fixture against Spurs.

Current Standings: Tottenham sit 14th in the table on 27 points, while West Ham find themselves rooted in 18th with 14 points. 

Head-to-Head Record: With a 28-18 win-loss record in 59 matches, the Spurs clearly have a distinct advantage in this rivalry.

TEAMS PREVIEW

Tottenham Hotspur FC Preview

Spurs are desperately searching for something to cling to, yet the slide only deepens as they head into the weekend clash having registered one win in their last six Premier League matches. Even their once-reliable away form has crumbled—after winning four of six on the road, they’ve taken just one victory from their last five trips. 

Their latest league outing summed it up: an early lead at Bournemouth tossed away in a 3–2 defeat sealed in stoppage time, followed by an FA Cup exit as Aston Villa (2-1) unloaded 20 shots (nine on target) to send them home. All of which leaves Thomas Frank’s side, marooned in the bottom half, treating the visit of struggling West Ham as a must-win.

Stats that matter 

1. Since the start of last season, Frank led sides have scored seven goals in the opening five minutes of Premier League games.
2. Spurs have won just four of their last 24 Premier League home games (D6 L14).
3. Only once in the season have Tottenham won a game in the league having conceded a goal. 

Team News 

Spurs head into the weekend and likely much of the remaining season without Rodrigo Bentancur, who has undergone surgery after his Bournemouth injury. Richarlison is also a major doubt following the FA Cup setback against Villa. But there is a silver lining as the club have reinforced the midfield by singing Conor Gallagher from Atletico Madrid. 

Tottenham Hotspur Probable XI - Vicario (GK); Porro, Romero, Van de Ven, Spence (Defenders); Gray, Ximons, Palhinha; (Midfielders);  Bergvall/Odobert, Kolo Muani, Mathys Tel (Forwards). 

West Ham United FC Preview

In contrast to Spurs, West Ham arrive for the derby buoyed by a morale-boosting 2–1 win over QPR in the FA Cup. But their league form tells a harsher story. The most recent 2–1 loss to Nottingham Forest marked their 13th Premier League defeat of the season and their eighth at home, with only Wolves having worse numbers at home than that. 

Meanwhile, the Hammers haven’t won a league game since November’s 3–2 win against Burnley. With Spurs wobbling on home turf, Nuno Espírito Santo will see the upcoming clash as an opportunity to finally snap that barren run.

Stats that matter 

1. West Ham (D4 L6) have gone 10 consecutive Premier League games without a victory for the first time since a run of 11 in the 2006-07 season.
2. Only Bournemouth (16) have dropped more points from winning positions in the Premier League this season than West Ham (15).
3. West Ham have conceded (12) the most goals from corners this season in the Premier League. 

Team News 

For the weekend, Nuno has a few selection headaches. Lucas Paqueta remains a doubt, while Konstantinos Mavropanos is ruled out after his FA Cup injury. The one bright spot is the return of Mateus Fernandes, offering a timely boost in midfield.

West Ham Probable XI - Areola (GK); Walker-Peters, Max Kilman, Julio, Scarles, Todibo (Defenders); Soucek, Potts, Fernandes (Midfielders); Bowen, Summerville, Castellanos (Forwards). 

TOTTENHAM HOTSPUR FC vs WEST HAM UNITED FC
Winning Prediction

Spurs comfortably won the reverse fixture 3–0 at the London Stadium back in September, but a lot has changed since then—Tottenham are wobbling (especially at home) and West Ham haven’t looked much better. The worrying sign for the Hammers, though, is their record in London derbies: six played, six lost. That alone tilts the scales  toward the Spurs.
