West Ham vs. Tottenham: Match Prediction
Derbies between these London teams are often thrilling and high-scoring. In 12 previous league encounters, fewer than two goals were scored only once. Both teams have found the net in 8 of the last 10 Premier League meetings. Interestingly, the last three matches at West Ham's ground ended in a 1-1 draw.
West Ham may not be winning at home, but their matches are entertaining. In all five of their previous home Premier League games, both teams scored. Tottenham also struggles in away games, but they have scored in 8 of their last 11 away Premier League matches. I believe both teams will score in this London derby.
My prediction – Both teams to score – yes
