Weekend Betting Tips With BetKing: A Chance to Win ₦900k From a ₦1,000 Bet!
by Chike Nwoye
7 Feb 2025
The Madrid Derby, the FA Cup, several exciting Serie A clashes, Niko Kovač’s Dortmund debut, and more. There’s so much to unpack ahead of what promises to be a thrilling football weekend, but first, here’s how you can flip ₦1,000 into over ₦900k with our bet predictions.
Real Madrid vs. Atletico Madrid
Drama. That’s the only guarantee. Saturday’s Madrid derby comes with extra spice after Real Madrid’s decision to boycott a key meeting involving major figures in Spanish football. Earlier in the week, they went on the offensive, firing an unprecedented complaint against LaLiga’s referees. In a formal letter sent to the Spanish FA (RFEF) and Spain’s High Council for Sports, they accused officials, including VAR, of being “rigged” and “completely discredited” following their 1-0 loss to Espanyol. Not to be left out, Atlético wasted no time stirring the pot, posting their “basic instructions for the derby” on social media with subtle jabs at their rivals. So yeah, drama.
As for the game itself, I expect something similar to their first meeting—a cagey 1-1 draw featuring 22 fouls and a red card. Atlético have taken points from 8 of their last 11 league trips to the Bernabéu (W3, D5, L3), a major improvement from their previous 26 visits. They’ve proven they’re no longer pushovers in enemy territory. That said, this one feels unpredictable, except for one thing—cards. There’s no love lost between these two, and the referee will definitely have a busy night.
Betting Tips:
Borussia Dortmund vs. Stuttgart
New Borussia Dortmund boss Niko Kovac will take charge of this first game when his side hosts Stuttgart at Signal Iduna Park on Saturday. The pressure couldn’t be higher—Dortmund have lost their last four meetings against Stuttgart, and another defeat would make it five in a row, something they’ve never done since the Bundesliga was founded.
To make matters worse, Signal Iduna Park isn’t the fortress it used to be. Dortmund are winless in four straight home games, and if they don’t win here, they’ll match their worst home run since 2006. Sitting in a miserable 11th place, Kovac—who replaced the recently sacked Nuri Şahin—has a serious job on his hands. The good news? Stuttgart have struggled lately, losing their last two games, and their away form is shaky at best. They’re averaging 2.27 goals per game at home but just 0.75 on the road. I’m not convinced Dortmund will get all three points, but I do think they’ll avoid another loss.
Betting Tips:
Leyton Orient vs. Manchester City
Let’s be real—Manchester City has zero excuses for not winning this game. They got a reality check last weekend with that 5-1 hammering at the Emirates, and now they need to bounce back. A routine win should be the bare minimum, especially against a Leyton Orient side that plays two tiers below them.
That said, I expect Pep to make plenty of changes—not just because it’s a domestic cup game, but they have important Champions League fixtures against Real Madrid on their calendar. So, don’t be surprised if the usual big names aren’t the ones getting on the scoresheet. In the last round, City cruised past Salford City 8-0, with youngster James McAtee bagging a second-half hat-trick. My bet of the day? He finds the net again.
Betting Tips:
Everton vs. Bournemouth
David Moyes may have stumbled in his first game back (a loss to Aston Villa), but he’s since turned things around in style—three straight league wins with eight goals scored. Even more impressive? Before his return, Everton had managed just 15 goals in 20 league games (0.75 per game), and now they’re averaging 2.67 per game under him. Whether they can keep it up remains to be seen, but that’s a massive leap, no doubt.
As for Bournemouth, their impressive 13-game unbeaten run ended last week. Losing to Liverpool—arguably the best team in Europe this season—isn’t exactly a disaster, so they’ll look to bounce back here. The problem? This revitalized Everton side won’t make it easy. One thing I’m confident about, though—we’re getting goals in this one and my betting tips today reflect that.
Betting Tips:
Brighton & Hove Albion vs. Chelsea
Brighton had an absolute nightmare last weekend, getting thrashed 7-0 by Nottingham Forest—a result that seriously dented their European hopes. With this game at home, they'll be eager to bounce back and make it up to their fans. The problem? History isn’t on their side. The Seagulls have lost their last four meetings with Chelsea in all competitions and have only managed one win in 11 home games against the Blues (D3, L7).
Chelsea, meanwhile, will feel good after Monday’s comeback win over ex-manager Graham Potter and his West Ham squad—a victory that lifted them to fourth in the league. Adding even more spice to this matchup, these two will face off again next weekend in the Premier League, making this a proper dress rehearsal. The Blues have a strong FA Cup record, advancing from 25 of their last 27 fourth-round ties, and I see them getting the job done against Brighton.
Betting Tips:
Sevilla vs. Barcelona
Barcelona has been an attacking juggernaut this season, and that’s putting it mildly. Fresh off a dominant 5-0 win over Valencia in the Copa del Rey, they’ve now hit four or more goals in a game 15 times—and it’s only February. No surprise, Sevilla was one of those victims. When these two met in October, Barça ran out 5-1 winners, with Robert Lewandowski and Pablo Torre both bagging braces.
To be fair, Sevilla’s defense hasn’t been terrible—their 30 league goals conceded rank 10th in La Liga—but they’ve crumbled against the big boys. Atletico Madrid and Real Madrid both put four past them, meaning 13 of their 30 goals conceded (43%) have come in just three games against Spain’s elite. Oh, and in case you’re wondering, of those 15 games where Barcelona scored four or more, nine were away from home. Just something to keep in mind.
Betting Tips:
Inter vs. Fiorentina
Inter blew their chance to go top of Serie A, falling to a humbling 3-0 defeat against Fiorentina in their Matchday 14 game in hand on Thursday. It was their first league loss by three or more unanswered goals since 2014. What made it even more frustrating? Fiorentina barely had the ball—just 28% possession—but still managed three times as many shots on target as Inter.
Now, Inter have a shot at payback on Matchday 24 as they welcome Fiorentina to the San Siro. Simone Inzaghi’s likely approach? Tighten things up at the back and flip the script, using Fiorentina’s own tactics against them. Don’t expect a goal fest—I see this one being a cagey, low-scoring affair.
Betting Tips:
Napoli vs. Udinese
When these two met in December, Udinese went into halftime with a 1-0 lead, but Napoli’s quality showed in the second half as Antonio Conte’s men fired in three unanswered goals to take all three points. That win sparked a seven-game league winning streak, which finally ended last weekend when Angelino’s 92nd-minute strike salvaged a draw for AS Roma.
Serie A’s margins are razor-thin, and with Inter breathing down their necks, Napoli can’t afford to slip up. And if there’s one thing our online betting community knows, it’s this: there’s no more dangerous team than an Antonio Conte side playing just once a week with no European distractions. I fully expect them to bounce back with a win here.
Betting Tips:
Aston Villa vs. Tottenham Hotspur
Spurs are staring at a second cup elimination in just 4 days. Their injury-hit squad was no match for Liverpool on Thursday night, getting smashed 4-0 in the EFL Cup semi-final second leg after holding a 1-0 advantage from the first leg. And to make matters worse, the injury list keeps piling up. As Ange Postecoglou poetically put it, "Every time I've seen the light at the end of the tunnel, it's usually been an oncoming train."
Now, a trip to Aston Villa brings even more problems. The Villans are fully fit and have strengthened in January with key signings—including a certain Marcus Rashford, who has a serious habit of scoring on his debuts. Back at Manchester United, he bagged a brace on his first-team and European debut, did the same on his Premier League debut, and even found the net in his first Manchester derby, as well as in his EFL Cup and Champions League debuts. You see where this is going—pencil him in for a debut goal for Villa to go with a win for them. You can pair that up using our Bet Builder feature which gives you the best odds.
Betting Tips:
Wolfsburg vs. Bayer Leverkusen
Victor Boniface reminded everyone of his talent on Wednesday, bagging the winner as Leverkusen completed a comeback against Köln in the DFB Pokal. That’s two goals in two games since returning from the injury that sidelined him since November, and you can bet he’ll be eyeing a third straight scoring appearance when Leverkusen face Wolfsburg.
History is on their side—Leverkusen are on their longest unbeaten streak against Wolfsburg (six games: W6, D2), and their last meeting was a seven-goal thriller. Leverkusen edged it 4-3, with none other than the talented Boniface grabbing the dramatic 93rd-minute winner. You know what? Since it’s looking like sure odds for us let’s lock him in as an anytime scorer.
Betting Tips:
- Bet Builder: Boniface Anytime Scorer + Over 2.5 Goals @2.75
- Double Chance: Leverkusen Win or Draw @1.22
