Additional Expert Predictions
- Expect periods of high intensity in the first 30 minutes, likely culminating in an early breakthrough.
- Should West Ham fall behind early, Tottenham may comfortably control mid-field tempo and possession, increasing their clean sheet potential for at least one half.
- Both sides may rotate attacking options due to fixture congestion, so late team news could influence market values on goal-scoring outcomes.
- Set pieces are likely to play a critical role, especially in breaking down resilient setups in the opening and closing stages of each half.
- If the refereeing trend holds towards low-card matches, this fixture is unlikely to see significant disciplinary disruptions.
