Tottenham vs West Ham Prediction & Betting Tips (19 October)

5th in the Premier League last year for the first season on Ange Postecoglou's bench, Tottenham showed great promise. The London team aims to climb into the Big 4 in this 2024/2025 financial year and thus rediscover the joys of the Champions League. The start of the championship has been sluggish so far, as evidenced by its 9th place in the ranking with 4 units of expenditure on 4th. After losing two games in a row to Newcastle and Arsenal, Spurs reacted by winning against Brentford 3-1 and Manchester United 0-3 . Unfortunately, they fell again to Brighton on the last day 3-2. In the Europa League , Tottenham did the job by winning their first two matches Qarabag and Ferencvaros .

To their advantage on the continental scene in recent seasons, West Ham had to settle for 9th place in the Premier League last year and will not play therefore no European Cup in this new exercise. This could be an advantage but the Hammers are currently only 12th in the standings with 8 points gleaned from 7 matches. They hope to find the right fuel to catch up with the leading pack. On the last day, West Ham took advantage of the support of their fans to dominate promoted Ipswich 4-1 . This result comes at the right time since it ended a bad series of 4 games without a win, 2 draws and 2 defeats.

For Tottenham, it is important to mention the absence of captain Son. He fills the ranks of the infirmary alongside the other attackers Odobert and Richarlison. On fire for several weeks, winger Johnson (3 goals in PL) has found the net in Spurs' last 6 matches played in all competitions. He should accompany summer recruit Solanke (2 goals and 1 assist in PL, 1 goal and 1 assist in C3). Scorer on the last day, playmaker Maddison (2 goals and 2 assists in PL) is available.

West Ham remains deprived of the solid German striker who arrived in London this summer Füllkrug (0 goals in 3 PL matches), injured. However, no other absences are to be deplored this weekend. Authors of a sluggish start to the season, the Hammers woke up on the last day. They were notably able to count on the offensive executives, Paqueta (2 goals in PL), Bowen (2 goals and 2 assists in PL), Kudus (1 goal in PL) and Antonio (1 goal and 1 assist in PL), who all scored against Ipswich.
