West Ham United will host Tottenham in the London derby in the English Premier League at the London Stadium in London on 24th October 2021 at 18:30 IST. The odds are slightly in favor of West Ham to win but this could be a much closer game than that.

Teams Status

West Ham United

As a result, they’ve climbed to seventh place in the standings with 14 points from eight games, comprising four victories, two losses, and two draws. Both of their recent defeats have come against Manchester United and Brentford. They have a dismal home record, with only one win in four games at home, including a draw and two losses. They score nearly two goals each game on average and concede 1.25 goals per game. Michail Antonio is the leading goal scorer for the team as he has netted as many as five goals so far in the league. He also has three assists to his name. Alex Kral is out due to Covid, but Mark Noble, Tomas Soucek, Vladimir Coufal, and Ryan Fredericks are doubtful and could recover before the Tottenham clash.

Tottenham

They are currently in the fifth position of the points table with 15 points from eight matches, including five wins and three losses so far. They started the campaign brilliantly with three back-to-back wins over Manchester City, Wolves, and Watford.

Tipster’s Angle

This could be a cracker of a London derby between West Ham and Tottenham, and the home team has a slight advantage. It wouldn’t be surprising if this match ends in a draw. Similarly, as the head-to-head matches suggest, this could feature a lot of goals.

Tip: West Ham Draw No Bet @ 1.65

In the last five head-to-head matches, West Ham United has won two matches, while Tottenham has won two matches, and one of those matches ended in a draw. West Ham United has won six matches, drawn two matches, and lost two matches in the last ten matches that they have played across competitions. Tottenham on the other hand has won six matches, drawn three matches, and lost one match in the last ten matches that they have played across competitions. West Ham managed to win the last head-to-head match that they have played last season. West Ham could likely win this match. So, backing them to win with a draw-no bet at 1.65 odds available at the Betway sportsbook would be a good bet.

Tip: Total Goals Over 2.5 @ 1.83

In the last 10 head-to-head matches, a total of 34 goals were scored at an average of 3.4 goals per match. Also, over 2.5 goals were scored in six of those matches. Apart from that, all three of West Ham United’s recent head-to-head matches have seen over 2.5 goals scored. Over 2.5 goals have been scored in five of West Ham United’s last ten matches across all competitions. In addition, West Ham United has scored over 2.5 goals in four of their last five home matches. Over 2.5 goals were scored in nine of Tottenham’s last ten matches across all competitions. In addition, Tottenham has scored over 2.5 goals in each of its last five away encounters. So, it is very likely that over 2.5 goals will be scored at 1.83 odds available at the Betway sportsbook.

Conclusion

Both teams had started really well but have slightly faded away and are slowly gaining momentum. And also, these two teams have the potential to make it to the top six if not the top four, which could be slightly tricky but not impossible.
