Tottenham Hotspur’s Season So Far (WWWWLL)

break provide Tottenham the chance to rediscover their form, or will they continue to struggle?

This season has been a rocky one for Tottenham under manager Ange Postecoglou. There is a long way to go but his suggestion from September that trophies are in the bag within 12 months feels about as relevant now as it did then after seven tough matches. The Spurs have won three, drawn one and lost three as they look for a better run of form heading into the campaign. Their recent 3-2 loss to Brighton, where they led by two goals at halftime, has left fans and players alike with a bitter taste.

That anger was apparent in Postecoglou’s post-match comments as he labelled it “the worst” of his reign and broached the impending international break by saying: “[The players will] have a short time off to freshen up. This match against West Ham is the perfect opportunity for Tottenham to regain focus and climb the league table. Has the international break come at a good time for Tottenham or will they return to action still struggling?

West Ham United’s Journey (LDLLDW)

On the other hand, West Ham United have had a far from perfect start to their debut season. Though they recorded a convincing 4-1 win at Ipswich, they have found consistency in the league difficult to come by. In contrast, the Hammers have been picking up points whenever they played away (W1, D2). However, manager Julen Lopetegui is keen to extend their good away record – which includes a 2-1 win against Tottenham last December.

Tottenham vs West Ham: Key Players to Watch

  • James Maddison: The Tottenham midfielder is a key threat, having scored in two of his last three appearances. Maddison will be critical to the attack of Tottenham as he is a versatile player with an eye for goal.
  • Mohammed Kudus: He may have bagged against Ipswich but has not proved himself in a goal-heavy match yet. He has been the man that West Ham are looking to for a little bit of creativity and firepower in this match.

Betting Odds and Predictions

Tottenham are favourites, as evidenced in GSB platform, meaning their squad depth and playing at home swings this one. Key betting lines include:

  • Tottenham win (1.52): It should be a home side victory all the way here.
  • West Ham win (5.50): It’s a long shot, but given West Ham’s excellent away record, it could surprise a few of us!

Given Tottenham’s attacking prowess, and West Ham’s shaky defense, this match could be an opportunity for bettors to back a Spurs victory confidently.

Predicted lineups

Tottenham predicted lineup: Vicario, Porro, Romero, van de Ven, Udogie, Kulusevski, Bentancur, Maddison, Johnson, Solanke, Son

West Ham United predicted lineup: Areola, Wan-Bissaka, Todibo, Kilman, Emerson, Rodríguez, Bowen, Soucek, Paqueta, Kudus, Antonio.

Tottenham vs West Ham: Prediction

At this point in the season, both Tottenham and West Ham have reached a crossroads. Spurs could go big in a bid to make up lost ground. But West Ham will be targeting Tottenham’s defensive vulnerability. That said, fans will be in line for an action-packed high-scoring affair.

With the attacking quality Tottenham possess and West Ham’s defensive issues, a 3-0 win for Spurs seems the most probable scoreline.
