Tottenham vs. West Ham Odds

Tottenham vs. West Ham Head-to-Head

Spurs landed a 3-0 away win against West Ham earlier in the season, and they could complete a league double over their London rivals for the first time since 2019-20. The Hammers have won just one of their last eight EPL matches against Tottenham.

Game Preview

Pressure will be mounting on both Nuno Espirito Santo and Thomas Frank ahead of this pivotal London derby in the Premier League on Saturday. Tottenham would have hoped to challenge for a European place this term, but they remain locked in the bottom half of the standings after winning one of their last five.

Further pressure was put on Frank following an FA Cup exit at the hands of Aston Villa last Saturday. This weekend’s clash is effectively must-win, as his job could hang in the balance.

West Ham’s Premier League status looks under increasing threat this season, as they find themselves seven points adrift from safety. A hammer blow to their chances was delivered in their latest league outing after suffering a damaging 2-1 home defeat against Nottingham Forest.

The Hammers have struggled in London derbies this season, losing their last six. But, Tottenham’s home record will give the Hammers confidence. Spurs have won just four of their previous 24 matches at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, while they have landed just two wins in 2025-26.

Winning form is something that West Ham have also struggled for. The Hammers have failed to win in their last ten league matches, taking just four points from a possible 30. It is their longest winless run since the 2006-07 season, which saw them escape relegation on the final day.

Tottenham vs. West Ham Picks

Tottenham are too short in the betting for my liking this weekend, given their poor record in home matches this season. Therefore, a chance could be taken on West Ham’s counter-attacking game plan working to perfection in North London.
