Chelsea – West Ham Tip Premier League, Matchday 24 on Saturday, 31/01/2026 at 18:30 CET
After the Champions League, the Premier League is back for the Blues and in my Chelsea West Ham tip I see the Londoners in the role of favorites, but assume that the Hammers will also score.
For my desired Premier League bet for the game on Sunday (18:30) “Win Chelsea and both teams score” I secure odds of 2.80 with Oddset.
The numbers speak for this tip, because Chelsea have recently won four competitive games in a row, but have only kept one clean sheet in the last six games. In the Premier League, they have conceded goals in seven of the last eleven games.
West Ham is currently in a relegation place, but has won its last two games. Nevertheless, the Irons are of course the clear outsiders at Stamford Bridge, whose victory would bring betting odds around 6.00.
Cautious punters among you can turn to a home win, which reaches 1.53 odds at Interwetten and Co. On this occasion, you should take a look at the current odds boosts from our top bookmakers.
A draw, which would only give West Ham a helping hand in the relegation battle, delivers odds around 4.50.

The AI also provides interesting insights into the goals. The forecast is for 2.16 goals for Chelsea and 1.04 for West Ham. The total of 3.20 goals is above the critical mark and underpins my tendency towards a high-scoring game. The bet Over 2.5 goals brings betting odds of around 1.50, the Over 3.5 goals tip achieves an average of 2.30.
The Asian Handicap Line for over-goals is 3.0. Since our tool predicts 3.20 goals and West Ham’s games are often high-scoring anyway, this could be a good option at odds of 1.85 at our test winner Bet365. If exactly three goals are scored, you get your stake back, which minimizes the risk somewhat.
