If Thomas Frank’s job at Tottenham is hanging on by a thread, then West Ham‘s prospects of playing in the English Premier League next season must be falling apart at the seams.
Nuno Espirito Santo is not safe from the boot, either. While Tottenham’s season is arguably over after crashing out of the FA Cup, Nuno’s side is praying that splurging $35 million on an MLS striker can close a growing gap to Nottingham Forest in the relegation battle.
Tottenham’s defeat to high-flying Aston Villa was the latest of four consecutive matches without a win to start 2026, contributing to a dismal run of one win in seven.
Thomas Frank’s side sit 14th in the Premier League table, though they can derive a little optimism from West Ham’s dismal record of late.
The Irons will travel to North London having not won any of their last 10 Premier League games.
Nuno Espirito Santo’s side have conceded the most goals in the division and are seven points adrift of safety, placed 18th in the Premier League table.
What are the best bets for Tottenham vs West Ham?
If you insist on picking a team to win, you can trust Tottenham more than West Ham – probably. Spurs are -141 (7/10) to beat the Hammers.
West Ham have not won a Premier League match since November, a run that has stripped away both confidence and any margin for error, which only adds to the pressure. Even their FA Cup progress came with a caveat after needing extra time to get past the mighty Queens Park Rangers.
It’s hard to ignore both teams to score at -143 (7/10) given it’s landed in 10 of 13 meetings. It’s also notable that five of six meetings hosted by Tottenham have featured three or more goals with both sides scoring.
If the visitors are going to pose any threat to Vicario’s goal, Jarrod Bowen will be key. That, and Tottenham’s haphazard defending, probably. Back Bowen to hit the target at least once at (odds).
