West Ham enters this match having faced tough competition recently, with a loss to Brighton (3-2) and Liverpool (2-1), and a draw against Southampton (1-1). Despite their struggles, they have shown resilience in scoring, with an average of 1.0 goal per game in their last five matches. However, defensively, they have been vulnerable, allowing an average of 1.0 goal per game, with no clean sheets to their name recently. Tottenham, on the other hand, is experiencing a difficult phase with three consecutive losses, including a heavy 5-1 defeat to Liverpool and a 4-2 loss against Wolves. They have conceded an average of 2.6 goals per game in their last five matches, while scoring 1.4 goals on average. Their defense has been porous, reflected in their failure to keep a clean sheet in recent encounters. Both teams show a tendency to concede, which aligns with the prediction of a high-scoring game.

Final Prediction

Tottenham's edge in this fixture is primarily due to their slightly better scoring ability and a higher probability of winning. Despite their defensive shortcomings, their offensive potential could be the deciding factor against a West Ham side that has also struggled defensively. Keep an eye on Tottenham's attacking duo, who could exploit West Ham's defensive frailties, making the game a thrilling spectacle for fans.
