In this match, the home factor can play an important role, since both teams present significant differences in the results achieved at home and as a visitor.
West Ham
As previously mentioned, recent history against Tottenham, The Hammers take a small advantage, however, may not be enough to counteract the Spurs’ current attack.
Playing in his current season in the Premier League, the London side has won 35 games, 10 wins, 9 draws and 16 losses, currently ranking 15th with 39 points. The Hammers are making an unsatisfactory campaign in the English league, appearing at the bottom of the table, so it will be important to score in front of your fans so you do not take a risk in the last matches of the league, since it has a distance of only 7 points for the 18 ° placed Swansea.

Tottenham

With the second-best attack of the competition with 71 goals, and with the defense less leaked with only 22 goals against, demonstrating a very good balance between the defense and the attack, which will no doubt make the difference in this match against the West Ham team. For this very important match, Mauricio Pochettino will not be able to count on Winks and Rose.
