West Ham vs Tottenham Prediction 4 May 2025
🔊 How will Tottenham present themselves in the 35th round of the English Premier League ahead of their Europa League semi-final? The London derby seems less critical for Spurs, as conserving energy for a tournament where they have a shot at a trophy might be more important. West Ham find themselves in a similar Premier League situation, but without European commitments. Therefore, it's expected that the hosts will have greater motivation, which is reflected in the odds. Nonetheless, we'll explore various options to make an insightful prediction. Note that the match will take place at the London Stadium.
Head-to-Head
📊 Over the course of 40 head-to-head matches, Tottenham hold the advantage with a 55 percent win rate. However, they haven't tasted victory in their last four away games. In the first leg of the current campaign, the Spurs secured a convincing 4-1 result. Remarkably, West Ham took the lead in the 18th minute with a goal from Mohammed Kudus. Tottenham equalized before halftime and then ran riot in the second half.
In six of the last seven head-to-head encounters, neither side has left the pitch without scoring. Therefore, a potential bet to consider is - both teams to score (Yes).
Head-to-head statistics West Ham - Tottenham
West Ham United Team Overview
⚒ West Ham are winless in their last seven matches, alternating between draws and defeats, despite facing relatively few strong opponents. They couldn't even secure a victory at home against Southampton (1-1), who had already confirmed their relegation to the Championship for the next season by that point. As a result, the team finds themselves perilously close to the relegation zone, although they maintain a 15-point cushion.
🔗 In the previous round, West Ham conceded three goals for the first time under Graham Potter. Despite this, their match against Brighton unfolded quite positively. By the 83rd minute, the Hammers had even taken the lead. However, their opponents managed not only to equalize but also to clinch the win.

Tottenham Hotspur Team Overview
⚪ Tottenham have stumbled in the current campaign. Initially hampered by injuries, they later suffered from a lack of motivation. As a result, the team has managed just one win in eight matches. Last weekend, they witnessed Liverpool's title triumph. The Spurs attempted to spoil the Merseyside celebration by scoring in the 12th minute. However, their opponents responded with three goals before halftime. After the break, Tottenham completely lost their fight and conceded twice more.
🔗 The season can still be salvaged if they triumph in the Europa League. However, even in that scenario, Ange Postecoglou is unlikely to remain at the helm. Recently, the Spurs took a significant step towards the final by defeating Bodo/Glimt 3-1. They scored in the first minute and dominated throughout. By the hour mark, Tottenham led by three goals. But it turned out it was too early to relax, as a single shot on target from the Norwegians resulted in a goal late in the game.

Latest news
West Ham United
📣 West Ham captain Jarrod Bowen has slammed the result against Brighton as "disgraceful": "We play for a club that draws 60,000 fans every week, and we're sitting 17th in the Premier League. If we can accept that, we shouldn't be here. That's why the last four games are so crucial because we have something to fight for."
❌ Michail Antonio has missed most of the season and isn't expected back on the pitch anytime soon. The same goes for Crysencio Summerville, who underwent surgery this week. Edson Alvarez's participation is also in doubt, having missed three matches due to a back injury.
Tottenham Hotspur
📣 Ange Postecoglou believes Tottenham could have secured a greater advantage in their match against Bodo/Glimt: “In terms of performance, I couldn't ask for more from my guys. We dominated the field and showed solid defensive organization. Bodo/Glimt can catch fire at any moment, but we didn’t let them. We kept pushing forward ourselves. I don't think the scoreline fully reflects our superiority on the pitch. But after the first leg, you just want a good cushion, and we have that.”
📉 In the current Premier League season, Tottenham have already suffered 19 defeats, matching their personal worst record. They previously endured two seasons with 19 losses in the Premier League - 1993/94 and 2003/04.
❌ Lucas Bergwijn will miss the upcoming fixture due to an injury that sidelined him from the Europa League match. Heung-Min Son is close to recovery after missing five consecutive games. Even if the Korean is ready, no one will risk their star player’s health in such a match. Radu Dragusin remains in the infirmary with a cruciate ligament rupture. James Maddison and Dominic Solanke, who were forced off in the match against Bodo/Glimt, might join him.
🟨 Referee and Yellow Cards
The referee for this match is Michael Oliver, who has officiated 23 Premier League games this season. It's his first encounter with Tottenham this year. Previously, he officiated the West Ham vs Manchester City game and handed out five yellow cards, aligning with his season average of 4.87.
Tottenham average two yellow cards per game this season, while their opponents receive about 2.5. In 4 of the last 5 head-to-head meetings, there have been at least four cautions. Given the referee's statistics, a bet on over 3.5 total yellow cards seems worth considering.
⚽️ Goal Prediction
In the last round, West Ham conceded twice in the second half against Brighton and suffered a defeat. It's not the first time they've struggled to maintain concentration for the full 90 minutes, conceding in the second half in 6 of their last 7 matches. Therefore, a bet on Tottenham to score in the second half looks promising.
🚩 Corner Prediction
Both teams enter this match with a trend of low corner counts. For instance, Tottenham have not exceeded six corners in 10 of their last 11 away games. Meanwhile, West Ham have failed to surpass four corners in 8 of their last 9 Premier League outings. Thus, a bet on under 11.5 total corners appears reasonable, especially since it has hit in 16 of West Ham's last 17 Premier League matches.
Editorial Prediction
Considering the current form of the teams and their standings, a tense encounter with goals from both sides is expected. The odds for both teams to score might not be the highest, but this bet appears highly reliable, having come through in six of Tottenham's last seven matches, as well as in six of the last seven official head-to-head meetings between these teams. Our main pick is both teams to score (yes).
