Fulham – Chelsea Tip Premier League, Matchday 1 on Monday, 24/08/2026 at 21:00 CET
In this London derby for Xabi Alonso’s debut as Premier League coach, I could certainly give a bolder Fulham Chelsea tip. However, I prefer to be on the safe side here!
Since I want to successfully implement a new sports betting bonus, my choice ultimately falls on the ever-popular option “Both teams score” at odds around the value of 1.56. After all, the conditions could hardly be better!
Chelsea spent a lot of money on offensive power in the summer and scored three goals each in the last friendlies against Real Sociedad and Milan. FFC, meanwhile, is a naturally unruly opponent who beat the “Blues” 2-1 at home in January!
Fulham vs. Chelsea AI Tip & Odds Analysis:
While I prefer to hold back when it comes to the possible outcome of the game, our digital betting brain has a clear favorite. According to his Fulham Chelsea AI forecast, Xabi Alonso will be rewarded for his diligent work over the summer months.
Fulham lost the three previous Premier League season openers anyway, which began with a London derby, while the Spanish coach made his debut with a win at his last two clubs. This is a good omen for the “Blues” and the bet on a victory Chelsea at odds of 1.88.

In addition, our AI model has a player bet in store, which it recommends to you and me in an already high-scoring match. Because Cole Palmer could possibly be the one who helps Alonso to his debut victory.
1st half: Cole Palmer scores a 5.25 bet is highly recommended to me, as the Englishman has scored nine of his last ten goals for the “Blues” in the first 60 minutes. If that’s too risky for you, you can simply omit the condition that he will strike early.
