Tottenham Hotspur come into the game on the back of a 2-0 win at Brighton and Hove Albion in the Premier League on Wednesday night. Spurs opened the scoring 8 minutes before half-time and added a second goal 12 minutes into the second half to take maximum points.
It was an important win for Spurs as they attempt to finish inside the top four this season. That result means Spurs have won 3 of their last 4 Premier League matches, with the additional victories coming against Leeds United away and Everton at home.
However, Spurs were disappointed to lose 3-2 at Manchester United last weekend, a team competing to finish in the top four.
Trends show Spurs are undefeated in 6 of their last 8 home Premier League fixtures and have scored at least 2 goals in 7 of their last 8 home league matches. There have been over 2.5 goals scored in 5 of Spurs’ last 6 home league games.
West Ham United make the short trip to the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium having defeated Sevilla 2-0 at home in the Europa League on Thursday night.
The Hammers opened the scoring shortly before half-time and the game went into extra-time, with West Ham scoring the decisive goal in the second period.
Thar result means West Ham have won their last 2 fixtures in all competitions having previously beat Aston Villa 2-1 at home in the Premier League. Trends show West Ham are undefeated in 5 of their last 6 Premier League games but they have lost each of their last 3 away matches in all competitions.
The Hammers have failed to win any of their last 3 away Premier League matches, including defeats at Manchester United and Liverpool.
They have been struggling to keep clean sheets on the road and West Ham have conceded at least 1 goal in each of their last 10 away games, including each of their last 6 in the Premier League.
Looking ahead to the team news and Spurs are without the injured trio of Ryan Sessegnon, Oliver Skipp, and Japhet Tanganga.
West Ham continue without Jarrod Bowen, Vladimir Coufal, and Angelo Ogbonna who are all on the treatment table.
Neither team can afford to drop points in the race for the top four but home advantage could make the difference in this game. We expect to see over 2.5 goals and both teams scoring in this match, with Spurs coming out on top to take maximum points.
