West Ham United vs Tottenham Hotspur 2025/26 Premier League Bet Builder & Predictions
West Ham United vs Tottenham Hotspur at the London Stadium on Saturday evening sets the stage for an intriguing London derby between two sides with contrasting recent fortunes. Our football betting expert anticipates a tight contest, predicting a draw, under 2.5 goals, and both teams to score.
Team News and Context
West Ham enter this fixture with renewed confidence after a crucial 3-0 away victory against Nottingham Forest before the international break. The result, their first win of the season, eased the pressure on manager Graham Potter. The Hammers are expected to be largely unchanged from that winning side, with their only significant absentee being young Brazilian Luis Guilherme.
In contrast, Tottenham Hotspur will be looking to make amends for a dismal 1-0 home defeat to Bournemouth, a result that brought their unbeaten start to the season to an abrupt end. Manager Thomas Frank is contending with a number of injuries to key players, with James Maddison, Dejan Kulusevski, and Radu Dragusin all sidelined long-term. New signings Xavi Simons and Randal Kolo Muani could be in line to feature, while Mohammed Kudus is fit to start against his former club.
Recent Form and Previous Weekend Recap
West Ham’s victory at the City Ground was secured with three goals in the final six minutes, a performance that showed a newfound clinical edge after opening the season with heavy defeats to Sunderland and Chelsea.
The win provided a much-needed boost and evidence of progress under Potter.
Tottenham’s performance against Bournemouth was described as their worst of the season so far, as they struggled to create chances and failed to register a shot on target until the 68th minute. This was a stark drop-off from their impressive 2-0 away win at Manchester City in the previous fixture.
Spurs’ away form has been a concern throughout 2025, with only two wins on the road in the league.
Head to Head and Current Standings
Historically, this is a fixture that West Ham enjoy, especially at home. Spurs are winless in their last five trips to the London Stadium, a run that includes three draws and two defeats.
Notably, the last three encounters at West Ham have all ended in a draw.
While the overall head-to-head record over the last twelve matches shows a high goal average, the recent trend at the London Stadium has been for tight, low-scoring affairs, with the last four home matches for West Ham against Spurs producing under 2.5 goals.
Tottenham is currently in the second segment of the league table with 6 points, while West Ham is in the fourth segment with 3 points.
Key Players to Watch
For West Ham, Jarrod Bowen will be a key figure. His goal against Nottingham Forest was crucial in turning the tide, and his attacking prowess will be vital for the Hammers.
Tottenham will look to Mohammed Kudus to provide a creative spark in the absence of James Maddison. Having recovered from a knock picked up on international duty, he will be keen to make an impact against the club he departed from.
