SlipsTips takes a look at the Bet Builder market ahead of West Ham United's London derby showdown with Tottenham Hotspur in the Premier League on Wednesday night.
West Ham United vs Tottenham Hotspur (Wednesday, 19:45)
One of the standout fixtures from the latest set of English Premier League matches takes place at the London Stadium on Wednesday night, as West Ham United welcome arch-rivals Tottenham Hotspur.
After a winless and goalless start to their league campaign, the Hammers got their season up and running with a much-needed 1-0 victory at Aston Villa on Sunday.
Tottenham, on the other hand, extended their unbeaten start to the season with a 2-0 win at Nottingham Forest on Sunday, on an afternoon where both of my City Ground selections landed.
Antonio Conte’s side make the short trip across the city as widely available 19/20 favourites, but I’m happy to highlight an alternative offering by dipping into the Bet Builder market.
We can get some even-money (Bet 365) by merging Tottenham Double Chance and Tottenham to score over one goal and that makes plenty of appeal.
Spurs have improved dramatically as an attacking force since Antonio Conte took the reins, racking up 69 strikes across their 32 league games under the Italians tutorship, averaging 2.16 goals per game.
What's more, the North Londoners have struck at least twice in 21 matches across that 32-game sample, including seven of their last nine top-flight road trips.
While West Ham will be in high spirits following their victory at Villa Park, that was the first time that David Moyes’ men have recorded a clean sheet in the Premier League this season so far.
It’s also worth pointing out that the Hammers have leaked at least one goal in 33 of their last 42 top-flight outings, not to mention they have conceded multiple goals in five of their last eight league games.
With this in mind, coupled with the fact the above-mentioned Bet Builder would have paid out in three of Tottenham's opening four Premier League matches of the season, supporting the same wager on Wednesday night stands out at even-money (Bet 365).
