Match Preview
Tottenham probably can’t believe their luck. A guaranteed money-spinning EFL Cup tie at home against bitter London rivals who are woefully out of form. The last eight beckons for Mauricio Pochettino’s side according to our football tips, for West Ham United are in turmoil. Again. It is an ongoing theme with the Irons.
Our partners: Reliable, honest, and player-friendly – those are the three things that come to mind when discussing online casino with no deposit 777Spinslot.
Tottenham overcame Barnsley 1-0 in the Last 32, while the Hammers won at Cheltenham 2-0 and then beat bogey side Bolton Wanderers 3-0 at home. Tottenham warmed up for this with a 4-1 win over Liverpool on Sunday, while West Ham United were left licking their wounds again following a 3-0 home defeat by Brighton on Friday evening, arguably their worst drubbing under Slaven Bilic.
Spurs have won twice at their temporary home at Wembley Stadium in five attempts in the Premier League and sit in third place in the table, just five points adrift of Manchester City. West Ham have just eight points from nine games and are languishing in 16th place.
Our Tottenham vs West Ham United preview suggests that the hosts have yet to really get their act together at Wembley, while West Ham United have yet to get their act together in any shape or form and will likely find the going tough. Despite having an extra two days to prepare, the visitors are unlikely to extend their fair record against Spurs. We also highlight in our Tottenham vs West Ham United predictions that goals will not be in short supply so back both teams to score with the available EFL Cup odds.
Tottenham vs West Ham United Prediction and Betting Advice
Tottenham have already had one victory over West Ham United this season. Their 3-2 win at the London Stadium, which West Ham shamefully rent, was a Premier League tussle that was in no way as close as the scoreline suggested. Tottenham battered the Hammers, who only found their spark after an hour.
West Ham have a poor record in the EFL Cup, having never won the competition. They do, however, have a fair record against Spurs, having won five of the last 10 meetings including a come-from-behind 2-1 League Cup win in October 2013.
Tottenham are unlikely to rest players, as this is a competition they feel they can win, and while West Ham United fans will relish a visit to Wembley and feel that they have an edge in a London derby, the fact remains that the days are gone when home-grown players gave their all in a blood-and-thunder cup tie. The issue for many West Ham United fans is that the club is overrun with over-paid players who don’t put in a shift.
Tottenham, perhaps the most entertaining team in the Premier League, have goals right throughout the team and despite their Wembley woes, this represents a great opportunity for some home comforts. Our Tottenham vs West Ham United picks conclude that Spurs will win comfortably and while backing Spurs at 1/2 to win tempts mightily, the handicap might provide the best route to profit. Ladbrokes are overly-generous with their estimation for Spurs to win by two clear goals and we shall indulge them.
West Ham United have failed to score against Tottenham just once in the last 12 meetings. Even with their recent shortcomings, they still put two past Spurs in this season’s earlier encounter. The fact remains that while they are inept defensively and have won twice this season in the league – both at home – they are something of a thorn in Tottenham’s side.
For instance, last season, with little to play for, they halted Tottenham’s title charge with a 1-0 win.
Yet for all their failings – and there are plenty – they have not played back-to-back games without scoring and that trend is worthy of note. Spurs have scored at least once in each of their last six home meetings with West Ham United and have lost just twice at home to the Hammers this century. While taking Over 2.5 Goals has paid off in clashes between these two in seven of the last 12 meetings, a safer trend to have faith in is looking for both sides to score. 10Bet seem to be in line with the trends and their odds appear inviting. This has proved one of the more consistent Tottenham vs West Ham United bets to have paid off and we think it will again.
