West Ham v Tottenham Betting Preview – Premier League 23rd September 12.30pm
West Ham managed to stop their losing rot from the start of the season by picking up four points from their last two league games. However, they are probably going to struggle to get returns out of this one at the London Stadium as they face up to Spurs who are favourites for the win. Despite their home struggles this season which have been well documented, Spurs are two wins from two out on the road and at the moment, they can’t afford to have their way from desert them as well.
West Ham v Tottenham Betting Tips
After losing their opening three games of the new season, West Ham have collected four points in their last two league outings. Those points came from a win over Huddersfield and a draw at West Brom. They haven’t looked particularly impressive at all though and they have failed to score in three of their five league games this season. So that does hint that they may have some issues in trying to break down a solid Tottenham defence. Under 2.5 goals at bet365 returns a price of 11/10 for this one. West Ham’s form at the London Stadium is hard to judge as they have played one game there and they won it against Huddersfield. Up in the anytime goalscorer market for them, Andy Carroll and Diafra Sakho are around the 5/2 mark. They have been having their troubles scoring goals then this season and both teams not to score in this fixture is a price of even money. The Irons are actually carrying a little form against Spurs as they have won three of their last four at home against them (L1), landing a 1-0 victory for themselves last season in the corresponding fixture.
Tottenham have a 100% away record in the Premier League this season and the victories that they took came at Newcastle and Everton and both of them were with a clean sheet as well. Tottenham to win to nil at bet365 fetches a price of 15/8 which punters may well take on. Harry Kane is the 5/2 bet365 first goalscorer favourite for the match and he netted a brace at Goodison Park in his last away game in the Premier League. But then Spurs aren’t carrying away from against West Ham into this one and after back to back 1-0 reverses on the road against the Irons, can Spurs find a response to that? Overall Spurs will be feeling less pressure away from home than they will in their league home games at Wembley at the moment. In the bet365 correct score market a Tottenham 1-0 win returns a 15/2 price and considering that they have only conceded three goals in five games this season, that’s not a bad option. The only option shorter than that for this Saturday lunchtime kick off is a 1-1 draw at 7/1. Spurs will be pretty hungry for the three points though.

West Ham v Tottenham Predictions
Tottenham to win: West Ham look at odds still and they don’t totally look as if they know what their best lineup is. Tottenham are solid on the road and they are tight at the back so they will probably be able to go and take a good three points at the London Stadium.
