Tottenham Hotspur - West Ham United betting tips and odds

Tottenham Hotspur might be heading into this game as firm favourites to get a win but they will have their work cut out for them as West Ham United are known to be highly unpredictable and capable of pulling a surprise when it is least expected.

It would be a minor miracle for West Ham to win at Spurs, and they’re likely aware of that. Though risky, such an outcome could bring solid profits thanks to the 4.30 price on most online sportsbooks.

Seeing Tottenham earn a point from their previous away game after going behind after 45 minutes is nothing short of impressive. They were fighting the underwhelming betting odds and predictions to rise to the occasion and earn a colossal point in the Manchester City draw.

A draw against Crystal Palace can easily be considered a disappointment since West Ham were priced at 1.95 to win. Their fans surely hoped for an easy win – especially after their team took the lead in the first 45 minutes. However, they failed to preserve it and were forced to settle for a 1:1 stalemate.

The hosts will be looking to cut down on the number of goals they concede. They’ve recorded more than 5 total concessions over the last 3 matches, which is usually a cause for concern.

The away team’s previous three away games left a lot to be desired when it comes to how they perform defensively. Over 5 conceded goals in just 3 matches is never a good look, even if you’re playing as visitors.

Looking back at the head-to-head history of this matchup, it’s understandable why most bookmakers online decided to price a home win at 1.80. They soundly defeated The Hammers last season, and it’s reasonable to expect another triumph.

Thankfully, West Ham will be able to bring out their roster in full force, with no players forced to the sidelines due to injury or suspension. They’re still considered underdogs, mind you, but it’s something to consider.

Over 2.5 Goals is easily the safest bet when it comes to this matchup. The best part is that it also maintains a decent betting value, especially if you use the 1.51 odds offered at Betfair.
