Chelsea welcome West Ham in a Premier League clash as both sides aim to build momentum. With Chelsea leading the H2H record, our prediction points toward a 3-1 home win. The Blues have won three of their last five matches and could have key forward Cole Palmer back after injury. At home, Liam Rosenior's men average 1.6 goals per game, concede 1.4, and maintain a 40% win rate. Their expected goals at home is 1.68, showing solid attacking output, while BTTS is 60%, indicating occasional defensive lapses.
West Ham head into the local derby in good form following a 3-1 win over Sunderland, with January signings Pablo and Taty Castellanos expected to start. Away from home, they have a 25% win rate, scoring 0.75 goals per game and conceding 2.0, with no clean sheets recorded. Expected goals away is 1.21, reflecting limited attacking efficiency on the road, though BTTS sits at 50%.
West Ham suit Chelsea and given their fine home record, we predict Home Win. Additionally, Over 2.5 goals and Chelsea Over 1.5 goals markets seem appealing as 56% of the previous H2H meetings have featured 3 or more goals.
This Premier League match will be played on Saturday 31 January 2026 at 17:30.
