Man, I honestly can’t remember the last time Manchester City won a game. No joke—I just tried to recall their last victory without Googling, and it was an actual struggle.
Turns out, it was Southampton. Yep, a narrow 1-0 win against the newly promoted side back in October (yes, I gave up and used Google). Since then, City’s gone six games without a win, and now they’re up against the hottest team in Europe, Liverpool.
We’ll dive into that clash and preview other games lined up for the weekend. Here are some of our betting tips ahead of the weekend featuring the best odds you can find on Obasanjo’s internet. Good news; ₦100 could win you over ₦4m!

Liverpool have managed just one win in their last nine league meetings with Man City (D5 L3), but based on recent form, the Reds are clear favorites heading into this clash. Pep Guardiola’s side, winless throughout November, are coming off a brutal stretch.
Their latest heartbreak? Blowing a 3-0 lead against Feyenoord in the Champions League, conceding three late goals to settle for a draw. If that’s not Pep’s “village people” at work, I don’t know what is. Meanwhile, Liverpool cruised to a 2-0 win over reigning European champions Real Madrid, maintaining their spot at the top of both the Champions League and Premier League.
This showdown feels like it could mark a changing of the guard. Think back to Drake vs. Kendrick Lamar—when Kendrick took the crown and left Drake trying to figure out what went wrong. A Liverpool win here would put them 11 points clear of City, and perhaps they’d have every right to start prepping that parade bus.
The good news for Man City is Erling Haaland’s brace on Tuesday as it provided a confidence boost ahead of this game. Not that it helps me—I already sold him on FPL and brought in Wolves’ Cunha. That said, we’re leaning with Liverpool here. They’re the hot team and Mo Salah can’t seem to stop scoring. Well, except against Real Madrid.

I brought up Wolves’ Cunha, so why don’t we talk about who he’ll be facing this weekend.
Wolves have clawed their way out of the relegation zone after two wins and two draws in their last four games. But let’s be real—their defense has been a disaster, conceding a league-high 28 goals, with 11 of those coming from beat downs by Chelsea and Brentford.
On the flip side, their attack has been surprisingly lethal. They’ve scored 20 league goals this season—only four fewer than table-toppers Liverpool, and just behind Man City (22) and Arsenal (21). A big reason for this offensive punch is Matheus Cunha, who’s been on fire with 7 goals, making him the league’s fourth-highest scorer.
Bournemouth, on the other hand, have hit a rough patch. After stunning wins over Arsenal and Man City, they’ve stumbled with losses to Brentford & Brighton and Wolves could very well pile on their misery.
For our online betting crowd, consider backing both teams to score—it’s hit in Bournemouth’s last four matches and 10 of Wolves’ last 11. It’s a trend worth riding.

Ruben Amorim didn’t get the debut he’d envisioned after his side dropped points to Ipswich Town last weekend. In fairness, he warned it would be a slow and possibly painful adjustment as the team gets to grips with his new tactics and philosophy.
And in his first European game for the Red Devils, his side showed a lot of heart to fight back and win after going behind 2-1 despite an early Garnacho goal.
Up next for them is an Everton side that’s won just two league games all season—and none in their last four outings. Everton’s main issue has been finding the back of the net, with only 3 goals scored in their last 6 matches.
That said, their defense has been rock solid, conceding just 2 goals in that same stretch while keeping 4 clean sheets.
This feels like a game where neither side will take too many risks, and my bet of the day is a low-scoring draw as both teams continue working through their growing pains.

After Monday’s shocking home loss to West Ham, expect Newcastle to come out swinging in this one, especially on the attack. However, history isn’t exactly on their side — the Magpies have managed just one win in their last nine league trips to Selhurst Park (D5 L3).
Crystal Palace showed some fight last weekend with a hard-earned draw away at Aston Villa, a result achieved without Eberechi Eze, Adam Wharton, and Eddie Nketiah.
The good news for Palace fans is that Eze will return for this match, albeit on a minutes restriction, while Wharton and Nketiah remain sidelined.
That said, Palace’s struggles this season are glaring. With just one win in 12 games and sitting 19th on the table, it’s hard to see them putting up much resistance. Newcastle should be able to bounce back and claim all three points here.

Seven games without a win, and Aston Villa’s collapse is rivaling the Nigerian national grid—every week seems to bring a fresh problem. Not long ago, they were sitting pretty at the top of their Champions League group, but now they’re down to 9th. In the Premier League, it’s not much better, as they’ve slipped to 8th.
Chelsea, on the other hand, got back on track with a solid road win at Leicester City after back-to-back draws against Manchester United and Arsenal. Sitting 3rd on the table, they’re clearly the stronger team right now. Still, I can’t shake the feeling that Unai Emery will have Villa fired up for this one.
Honestly, I don’t see Villa losing here. My pick? A double chance for Villa to win or draw, with Nicolas Jackson continuing his hot streak by getting on the scoresheet for Chelsea.Perfect news for sports betting and fantasy sports players.

Bayern Munich are not just winning games, they’re not conceding. Since getting hammered 4-1 by Barcelona, they’ve racked up seven straight victories, all with clean sheets.
Say what you want about the “farmer’s league” tag, but shutting out teams like Benfica and PSG in the Champions League during that stretch is no joke.
As they roll into Signal Iduna Park to face 5th-place Dortmund, all eyes will naturally be on Harry Kane. The Englishman is leading the Bundesliga scoring charts with 14 goals and sits second in assists (5), just behind Omar Marmoush.
Matches between these two are always fireworks, and this weekend should be no different. Dortmund boast a perfect home record this season, while Bayern are the Bundesliga’s best road team with 16 points away from home. It’s a tough call, but with Bayern riding this wave of seven wins and seven clean sheets, it’s hard to bet against them.

Barcelona’s grip on LaLiga’s trophy is slipping, with back-to-back winless games allowing Real Madrid to cut their lead to just four points—and Madrid still has a game in hand.
Last weekend’s draw at Celta Vigo was a bitter pill to swallow; leading 2-0 with under 10 minutes left, a Marc Casado red card turned the tide, and Celta scored twice to steal a point.
But no excuses this Saturday when 17th-placed Las Palmas comes to town. History is firmly on Barça’s side—they’ve won 18 of their last 20 home meetings with Las Palmas, drawing the other two. With Robert Lewandowski in red-hot form, it’s hard to see anything but another win for the Catalans to steady the ship.

PSG’s season has been a head-scratcher. Domestically, they’re cruising—unbeaten in the league with a six-point lead at the top. Bradley Barcola is tearing it up as the league’s top scorer, and Joao Neves is bossing the assists chart.
But in the Champions League? It’s been a disaster. Just four points from five games, sitting 25th (yes, 25th!) on the table, and a measly three goals scored.
Thankfully for them, this is a league game against 16th-placed Nantes. No drama expected here—I’m backing PSG to do what they’ve been doing all season in Ligue 1: win.
Also, seeing as there has been at least three goals in each of the last 5 meetings between these two sides at Parc des Princes, we’re sticking with that run continuing.

After a rough patch between late September and late October, where they managed just one win in six outings, Atletico Madrid looks like a team reborn.
They’ve strung together six straight wins across all competitions, including impressive Champions League triumphs at PSG and a 6-0 demolition of Sparta Praha last week.
This weekend, they visit a struggling Valladolid side rooted to the bottom of the table, with the league’s worst attack (10 goals) and defense (27 goals conceded). Honestly, this feels like a one-way street—anything but an Atleti win would be shocking.

Since Martin Odegaard’s return from a three-month injury, Arsenal has rediscovered their groove and once again looks like genuine title contenders.
Just this past week, they traveled to Portugal and smashed five past a previously unbeaten Sporting CP in the Champions League—a statement win if there ever was one.
West Ham showed promise in their Monday clash with Newcastle, but let’s face it: Arsenal has their number. The Hammers have lost more Premier League games (36) and home league games (15) to the Gunners than to any other team. With Arsenal flying high, it’s hard to see anything other than a win for the North London side.

Fiorentina has managed just one win in their last 14 league clashes with Inter since the 2017/18 season (D5, L8). But here’s the twist—they’re the hottest team in Serie A right now, riding a 7-game winning streak.
With their eyes on an eighth straight victory, which would match a club record, Fiorentina is buzzing with confidence. This showdown also spotlights two in-form forwards: Fiorentina’s Moise Kean and Inter’s Marcus Thuram, both tied at 9 goals—the second-highest tally in the league.
It’s shaping up to be a tightly contested game, and honestly, a draw feels like the most likely outcome here.

For the sixth consecutive year, the Copa Libertadores trophy will remain in Brazil as Atlético Mineiro and Botafogo face off in the final. It’s a historic moment for Botafogo, making their first-ever appearance in the final, while Atlético Mineiro will look to repeat the glory of their 2013 triumph in their second outing.
However, all signs point to Botafogo as the favorites. Sitting three points clear at the top of the Brazilian Serie A with two games to play, they’re poised for a historic league and continental double.
Their recent encounters suggest a fierce contest is on the cards. Earlier this month, the two sides played out a goalless draw marred by three red cards, while their July meeting saw Botafogo dominate with a 3-0 win and Atlético Mineiro’s Igor Rabello sent off.
Expect a fiery showdown in the final, but the quality and momentum seem to favor Botafogo to claim their first Copa Libertadores title.
