Ladbrokes' tips - Saturday, August 22, 2026: West Ham & Inter Milan to win

Ladbrokes football tips - Saturday, August 22, 2026

West Ham vs Charlton tip: West Ham to win

West Ham to win is the pick for their first Championship home game at the London Stadium, with the Hammers looking to build on an opening-day draw against Burnley.

There was frustration in that result after two late goals denied West Ham all three points, but there was also enough attacking quality to take forward. Jarrod Bowen remains a key presence, while Manor Solomon was on the scoresheet in the opener.

Charlton made a winning start, but they are stepping into a demanding away fixture against a side still carrying plenty of top-flight quality. The visitors also finished 19th last season, so this looks a tricky early test.

At 4/11, West Ham to win is the pick.

Brentford vs Tottenham tip: Richarlison to score

Richarlison to score is the Premier League angle at the Gtech Community Stadium, with Tottenham expected to lean on him through the middle.

The Brazilian is set to lead the line with Mohammed Kudus and Dominic Solanke both missing, which gives him a clear route to chances in a forward role. That attacking responsibility is the main reason this selection appeals.

There is recent scoring evidence too. Richarlison scored three times across pre-season and ended last term with two goals in his final four games, giving the case for an anytime goal a solid foundation.

At 7/4, Richarlison to score is worth considering.

Espanyol vs Real Madrid tip: Kylian Mbappe to score

Kylian Mbappe to score is the standout player angle as Real Madrid travel to Espanyol in La Liga.

Mbappe has only played 45 minutes of pre-season, but he still found the net for Real Madrid in that spell.

He is coming off an excellent league campaign in which he scored 25 goals in 29 starts, before adding 10 goals in eight World Cup matches. With 11 goals in his last 10 competitive appearances, the case for another Mbappe goal is clear.

At 4/6, Mbappe to score is the next pick.

Inter Milan vs Monza tip: Inter Milan to win and over 2.5 goals

Inter Milan to win and over 2.5 goals is the Serie A selection at San Siro, with the hosts bringing a strong unbeaten run into this fixture.

Inter went unbeaten in pre-season, winning or drawing against AC Milan, Man City and Juventus. That form follows a longer run stretching back into competitive matches, with Inter winning or drawing each of their last 12 games.

The goal angle is the key part of the selection. Those 12 matches produced 45 goals, an average of 3.75 per game, while Monza’s four pre-season matches produced 19 goals in total.

With Inter in strong scoring form and Monza’s recent matches also producing goals, Inter Milan to win and over 2.5 goals is the final tip at 4/5.
