The English Premier League returns, and two teams meet whose season start is unfolding quite differently than expected. After 12 rounds, West Ham is in 16th place, while Tottenham is in 14th, with only one point separating the teams. Both teams must improve their game, but in this match, we see great value in choosing a Tottenham victory.
Evaluating this match based on this season's statistics is quite misleading. West Ham has not won in 7 consecutive matches, and Tottenham has also not tasted victory in the league for five rounds. What is important is that this is a London derby, and looking at the statistics of past meetings, favorable results are seen for the Tottenham team. Playing away against West Ham, they have won three matches in a row. However, the most important factor here is the dismissal of Tottenham's head coach Pochettino. He was replaced by the well-known Jose Mourinho. We have no doubt that there will be changes in the team, and knowing how Mourinho knows how to achieve results, we believe that these changes will bring positive results at least in the beginning.
In this match, West Ham will be without one of their most dangerous players, Lanzini, as well as their main goalkeeper, Fabianski. On the Tottenham side, we will still miss Lloris, and there is a question mark over Lamela and Vertonghen. Although Tottenham has looked very poor lately, West Ham looks downright tragic. So, the English Premier League, 13th round. We believe that Mourinho's arrival in the team will bring positive changes, and in the fight against West Ham, a much-needed victory will be achieved. Good luck.
