Betting on Tottenham Hotspur F.C.
After a fantastic win over Manchester City in matchday 22, Tottenham’s recent form has taken a hit with two disappointing results in the past week. Their loss to Leicester on matchday 23 was followed by a 1-0 defeat in the first leg of the Champions League round of 16 against Milan.
If they want to secure their position in the standings, they will need to forget these defeats quickly. Tottenham currently sits in fifth place with 39 points, two behind Newcastle in the Champions League places, but only four ahead of Brighton and Fulham.
The team must also address their home form as they have lost four of their last six Premier League games at home, a stark contrast to their first five home games where they were victorious. Tottenham is the fifth-highest scoring team at home with 22 goals, so their recent struggles at home are puzzling..
Probable lineup (3-4-2-1): Fraser Forster; Cristian Romero, Eric Dier, Clement Lenglet; Emerson Royal, Oliver Skipp, Pape Matar Sarr, Ivan Perisic; Dejan Kulusevski, Heung-Min Son; Harry Kane.
Betting on West Ham
West Ham are battling hard to climb out of the relegation zone and, on the surface, a solitary defeat in their last five games appears to be a decent return. However, three of those matches ended in draws, meaning that they have been unable to pull away from Everton and Bournemouth, as they sit just two points above the Premier League drop zone with a tally of 20 points.
David Moyes’ team have managed to hold their own against some of the league’s top teams in their last two fixtures, securing draws against Chelsea and Newcastle. This suggests that the squad has the talent to pull themselves off the trouble they find themselves in. However, they will have to demonstrate this ability on Sunday when they travel to face Tottenham. To compound matters, they are the fifth-lowest scoring team in the league on the road.
Playing away from home has been a challenge for West Ham, who have only accumulated six points in 11 games, the fourth fewest in the league. Meanwhile, their seven goals scored in those matches are the lowest figure in the league.
Possible lineup (3-4-3): Lukasz Fabianski; Kurt Zouma, Benjamin Johnson, Angelo Ogbonna; Vladimir Coufal, Declan Rice, Tomas Soucek, Emerson; Jarrod Bowen, Saïd Benrahma, Michail Antonio.
JefeBet Prediction
Tottenham urgently needs a win in front of their fans and this Sunday they have a quite affordable opponent to achieve it.
The Spurs have won five of their last ten home games against West Ham and have only lost on two occasions with three draws.
In addition, Tottenham have not lost at home to their opponents since the 2020 campaign and West Ham have just one win in 11 matches on their opponents’ soil this campaign.
