West Ham v Tottenham result predicted by supercomputer
Tottenham must travel to West Ham in the Premier League before playing for a place in the UEFA Europa League final.
Spurs’ full focus will be on the Europa League after their 3-1 victory over Bodø/Glimt at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium on Thursday (1 May).
Ahead of their trip to Norway for the second leg, the Lilywhites will travel to the London Stadium to take on West Ham on Sunday (4 May).
However, Ange Postecoglou’s side are unlikely to have much interest in the result, which appears as though it might be a negative one.
West Ham backed to beat Tottenham
Tottenham and West Ham are both in dire form and currently occupy the lowest non-relegated spots in the Premier League table.
As a result, neither team have much to play for on Sunday. However, the loser of this clash is more likely to finish 17th, which both teams would surely want to avoid doing.
| Stats | Won | Drawn | Lost | Points |
| Postecoglou | 11 | 4 | 19 | 37 |
Postecoglou is expected to make wholesale changes to his Tottenham team for the trip to the London Stadium, which could result in Spurs’ downfall in East London.
Opta’s supercomputer has backed West Ham for victory, giving the Hammers a win probability of 42.6 per cent in front of their home fans.
A Spurs win has been backed at 32.3 per cent, with a draw given a 25.1 per cent chance.
Tottenham have pride to play for at West Ham
Despite Tottenham’s league season being put on the back burner, losing to rivals West Ham is never enjoyable. Therefore, fans will want to see a strong performance, even with heavy rotation.
If Spurs do beat West Ham, they can go four points clear of them, and that will likely see Tottenham avoid the humiliation of finishing in 17th place.
West Ham are in abysmal form, and pressure is starting to grow on Graham Potter. A loss at home to a heavily rotated Tottenham side would cause fury, and Spurs have the chance to pile on the misery for the Hammers.
