Tottenham vs West Ham Prediction: The Hammers are at least not going to lose

On February 19, Tottenham will face West Ham United. This confrontation will take place in the 24th round of the English championship. The Spurs return to their arena after a tough game in Italy in the Champions League. West Ham also had a hard time in their last game, but the team had more time to prepare for the new fight.

After a series of good performances (against the underdogs), Tottenham again began to show boring football. Antonio Conte's last opponent was Leicester City. At the King Power Stadium, Spurs' game did not go well; the club played poorly in defense. The Spurs scored one away goal and conceded four - a resounding defeat. The Londoners are in fifth place in the EPL standings; only two points separate them from the top four. However, while sitting in fourth place, Newcastle has a game in hand.

This week, Tottenham traveled to Italy to play their first leg of the Champions League last eight against AC Milan. Spurs conceded a goal in the first half - a 0:1 defeat.

West Ham's schedule in the Premier League was not easy. First, the Hammers had to play away against the main opener of the current campaign - Newcastle United. Despite the pressure of the opponent and its fans, West Ham drew with a score of 1:1. Moyes' team achieved the same result in their next game, but at home against Chelsea. West Ham still cannot give a good series of performances; the club has only one victory over the last five rounds of the championship of England. With 20 points, the team occupies 16th place and is only two points ahead of the relegation zone.

For West Ham's squad, 16th place in the EPL is simply unacceptable. The club has the potential and the level of performers to fight for a place in European competitions. However, in this campaign, the Londoners perform far below their capabilities. Tottenham did not surprise at all in the last performance of the EPL, unsuccessfully traveled to Italy, and will look tired. Of course, it isn't easy to cope with such a schedule. Antonio Conte does not have a strong squad. The Italian specialist will be unable to rotate and not lose the quality of play. West Ham's players will be fresher, which could be reflected in the second half. We expect the Hammers not to lose the away meeting with Spurs.
