West Ham vs Tottenham Hotspur Prediction, Preview & Betting Tips

West Ham United take on Tottenham Hotspur at the London Stadium, with this London derby admittedly difficult to call given the recent form for both sides in the Premier League.

The Hammers are without a win in their previous seven games, and the side under Graham Potter have been poor defensively, which could provide the visitors with scoring opportunities, with the home side having no clean sheets in their previous seven matches. West Ham United's defensive frailties have been highlighted by the fact that the home side has conceded first in four of their last five games.

In retrospect, Tottenham Hotspur's league form is a pale comparison to their performances in Europe. Ange Postecoglou's side have a firm lead in the semi-final of the Europa League; however, in the Premier League, their form has dwindled with five defeats in their previous six Premier League matches.

Both sides can't find a win in the Premier League, and we think that trend will continue here. Golas could be on offer, as both teams have scored in five of the last six matches for both West Ham United and Tottenham Hotspur. Also, both teams have scored in seven of the last eight meetings between the two teams.

West Ham United 2-2 Tottenham Hotspur

West Ham United host Tottenham Hotspur at the London Stadium on Sunday, with both sides looking to end their respective Premier League campaigns on a strong note despite the disappointing displays from the two sides this season.

Date: 04/05/2025

Location: London Stadium, London.

Kick-Off: 2 pm

The Hammers have been nothing short of woeful this season under Julen Lopetegui's and Graham Potter's two tenures. Lopetegui was effectively dismissed following a terrible run of form, and former Brighton & Hove Albion and Chelsea manager Potter replaced the former Wolverhampton Wanderers and Real Madrid manager. Since Potter arrived at the London Stadium, the Hammers' fortunes on the pitch have not improved, with only three wins from 15 matches in charge and eight losses to his name. Potter has only achieved 0.87 points per game as West Ham United manager, with the 49-year-old looking for his first win as manager since February, when the Irons beat Leicester City (2-0).

West Ham United's form this season has led to a fortuitous league position, as the three relegated sides have performed worse than the home side. The Hammers are in 17th place in the Premier League, having accumulated 36 points from 34 matches, conceding 58.

As for Tottenham Hotspur, Ange Postecoglou's side has rightly been criticised for their lacklustre league performances this season, with the visitors in 16th place in the Premier League, having only accumulated 37 points from 34 games. Postecoglou has been heavily criticised this season because of his tactical ideas and responses to journalists outside of the game. The visitors have been plagued with various injury issues throughout the season, derailing their league momentum.

In Europe, however, Tottenham Hotspur have one foot in the final of the Europa League, where a potential clash with fellow English side Manchester United could await them. Tottenham Hotspur beat Norwegian side Bodø/Glimt 3-1 on Thursday, to place Spurs in an excellent position ahead of the second leg.

Tottenham Hotspur recorded an emphatic victory against the Hammers in the reverse meeting between the two sides. Goals from Dejan Kulusevski, Yves Bissouma, Son Heung-min and Alphonse Areola (OG) secured a 4-1 win for Ange Postecoglou's side.

The game will not be available to watch on TV in the UK.
