Gosu Sports Match Prediction: Tottenham Hotspur FC wins
The 2023/24 Premier League round 15 match between Tottenham Hotspur FC (hereinfollowing referred to as Tottenham) and West Ham United FC (hereinfollowing referred to as West Ham) begins at 5:15 am on Friday, December 8. The match will be held at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, Tottenham’s home stadium.
1. Tottenham winless streak in 4 games
Tottenham, who has recently recovered from a losing streak and regained momentum, invites West Ham to their home stadium and is on the hunt for victory for the first time in regarding five weeks. Currently, Tottenham is in 5th place in the league with 27 points from 8 wins, 3 draws, and 3 losses.
Tottenham had a fierce battle once morest Manchester City in the 14th round. Although they faced a crisis by conceding a come-from-behind goal during the game, they put pressure on their opponents with a high pass success rate of 85%, and eventually scored a dramatic equalizer, earning them one valuable point.
The key player in the upcoming match is captain Son Heung-min. He previously scored 8 goals and provided 7 assists in 17 meetings with West Ham, recording 8 wins, 3 draws and 6 losses. Attention is being paid to whether Son Heung-min, who showed off his improved game sense by scoring 1 goal and 1 assist in the previous game, will be able to make a great performance this time and succeed in scoring double-digit league scores for the 8th consecutive season.
Meanwhile, James Maddison and Mickey van der Fan are unable to play in the 15th round due to injury, but Tottenham’s strength is expected to be strengthened with the return of Christian Romero, who has completed his suspension, and Richarlison, who has completed surgery.

2. West Ham undefeated in 3 league games
The away team, West Ham, is continuing its run without a single loss in the last 3 league games (2 wins, 1 draw). If we expand the scope and include the Europa League, it is an undefeated streak of 5 games (4 wins, 1 draw) in a row.
Over the past five games, West Ham has scored 8 goals and conceded 4 goals, of which Tomas Soucek scored 3 goals and boasted a high scoring success rate of 37.5%. Paqueta followed with two goals.
West Ham recorded low performance indicators (27%-73% ball possession, 7-32 shots, 4-13 shots on target) in a friendly match once morest Tottenham in July of this year, thanks to goals from Ings, Mubama, and Scamaka. I have good memories of the victory.
This season, West Ham exposed their defense’s lack of concentration by conceding two goals once morest teams ranked 6th or higher in the league, so it is expected that they will use defense-focused tactics to stop the fast-paced Tottenham.
3. What happens to the 3 points?
West Ham is expected to target Tottenham’s net with a counterattack following a penalty, but Tottenham, who has the upper hand with 26 wins, 10 draws, and 14 losses out of 50 meetings, seems likely to win.
