On Matchday 4 of the Premier League season, hope remains across England. Every club and its fans hold out hope for their highest possible outcomes. Both Tottenham and West Ham have high hopes for the 2025/26 season after disappointing campaigns last year. Saturday’s game presents an opportunity to prove they can reach those heights.
Tottenham are the road favorites at +115 on the moneyline at DraftKings Sportsbook. If you’re considering West Ham as the underdogs, they’re at +235, while the draw is priced at +255. The total is set at 2.5 goals. Let’s get into our Tottenham vs. West Ham prediction and pick.
West Ham vs. Tottenham Prediction, Pick
Tottenham won’t complain about their start under Thomas Frank. They won their first two ties by a combined 5–0 margin, including a convincing 2–0 win at the Etihad over Manchester City. Despite losing James Maddison to an ACL injury in preseason play, their attack has looked robust. The Brennan Johnson–Richarlison–Mohammed Kudus trio is playing inspired football.
But they were reminded of their mortality in their last tie, losing to a Bournemouth side that isn’t expected to be very competitive. A result against the Hammers would restart their lost momentum.
West Ham got off to a considerably worse start, getting smashed 5–1 by Chelsea on opening day before a disappointing 3–2 loss to Wolverhampton. But their last tie, a 3–0 win over Nottingham Forest, showed what they are capable of. It also showcased the promise of new signee Mateus Fernandes, who could change their fortunes in the midfield.
This is a closer tie than you’d think when looking at the teams on paper. Ultimately, the attacking power of these two sides will determine the outcome of the game. I expect a goal-scoring show between two well-matched attacking groups.
