After the UEFA Nations League, the Premier League returns, and one of the best matches will be in London between two Londoners: Tottenham and West Ham.
Tottenham was defeated by Brighton in a great match and is far from the places it aspires to.
West Ham won again and did it forcefully, moving away from the relegation places.

Why bet on Tottenham?
After a 2023/24 season where the team failed to qualify for the Champions League, it was expected they would have more ambition to fight for the top positions, but this has not been the case in this Premier League edition.
Tottenham has ten points after three wins, one draw, and three defeats, placing them in ninth place, nine points behind leaders Liverpool. They had a big away win against Manchester United (0-3) but then lost 3-2 to Brighton in their last game despite being 0-2 up at halftime.
At home, they played three times, beating Everton (4-0) and Brentford (3-1) and losing in the derby with Arsenal (0-1).
Among the most notable absentees is the captain, Heung-min Son, who was injured last month playing in the Europa League and was not even with his national team these weeks. He is expected to return to training in the coming days and will be doubtful for the weekend.
Richarlison and Wilson Odobert are also recovering from injuries, and are expected to return to training but are unlikely to be called up for the weekend.
Why bet on West Ham?
With the results obtained so far, we realize that West Ham will not fight to be in the top positions and that it is unlikely to qualify for a European competition.
The team has lost to the strongest rivals such as Aston Villa (1-2), Manchester City (1-3), and Chelsea (0-3), all at home. They have drawn with mid-table teams like Fulham (1-1) and Brentford (1-1), both away. Meanwhile, they only beat clubs that are fighting for relegation, such as Crystal Palace (0-2) and Ipswich (4-1), the latter in their most recent game.
With eight points, the Hammers are in 12th place, five above Palace, who are the last team to be relegated now. They know they have a cushion, but they can’t be confident because one bad run and they could fall into the red zone.
Incredibly, away, they have fared better than at home plus they are unbeaten as they have one win and two draws.
One of the most important purchases of the summer for the club, if not the most important, was striker Niclas Füllkrug. However, he has been injured for over a month and has yet to score his first goal for his new team. The German is expected to be available for this weekend against a very complicated and direct rival if they want to play in Europe next season.

It will be quite an interesting match between two London teams, although the balance is a little more inclined to Tottenham, which at home has proven to be very strong against teams that are below them in the table, so we believe it will be a victory for the Spurs. Go for a 2-1.
