European club football is back this weekend, bringing more chances to win big on BetKing! We’ll be sharing our bet predictions for some of the weekend's key matches, and we’ll even throw in a few NFL games you’ll definitely want to keep an eye on. Total Odds: **15,094.66** Booking Code: **CF2X65** Acca Bonus: **N528,313** Our Picks:
**Bournemouth vs. Arsenal** The unbeaten Gunners head to Bournemouth, who have lost 3 of their last 4. The Cherries have struggled against Arsenal since returning to the Premier League in 2022, losing all 4 games with a combined score of 13-2. Bournemouth’s last 10 league wins have all come against teams in the bottom half of the table, and they’ve gone 11 matches without a win against top-half sides since that famous 3-0 over Man Utd at Old Trafford. I’m backing Arsenal to come out on top and we have the best odds for that which has been boosted when you combine that with over 1.5 goals using our Bet Builder. Betting Tips:
**Man United vs. Brentford** Erik ten Hag's fight to hang on to his job continues as Brentford rolls into Old Trafford on Saturday. United have dominated their last 5 home meetings with Brentford, winning them all with a 13-2 combined score, and they haven’t lost to the Bees at home since February 1937. Plus, Brentford has dropped all 3 of their away league games this season. Still, I’m not convinced it’ll be an easy ride for this United team. Brentford has been firing with 13 goals in 7 games, while Man Utd’s 5 goals are the second worst in the league. My bet of the day is for Brentford to avoid defeat. Betting Tips:
**Celta Vigo vs. Real Madrid** Real Madrid have a huge week coming up with Dortmund in the Champions League on Tuesday and a clash with fierce rivals Barcelona on Saturday. But first, they’ve got a tricky visit to Celta Vigo this weekend. Celta are known for both scoring and conceding plenty of goals, with 16 scored and 15 let in across 9 league games. Luckily for Los Blancos, Celta is a team they’ve got under control. In their last 20 league meetings, Real Madrid are unbeaten, with 18 wins and 2 draws, including 8 straight victories. My football predictions here seem straightforward. Betting Tips:
**Juventus vs. Lazio** Thiago Motta’s impact on Juventus has been most noticeable in their defense. The Old Lady have only conceded one league goal all season, with 6 clean sheets in 7 games. But that defensive solidity hasn’t exactly boosted their form, as they've managed just 1 win and 4 draws in their last 5 matches. Draws have been a recurring issue in 2024, with Juventus drawing 14 of their 27 league games—more than any other team in Europe’s top 5 leagues. Still, they sit 3rd, level on points with Lazio, a team they've beaten 15 times and drawn 4 in their last 20 home encounters. Betting Tips:
**Liverpool vs. Chelsea** The standout game this weekend is at Anfield, where league leaders Liverpool face Enzo Maresca’s Chelsea. After losing three straight league games to Chelsea between 2013 and 2014, the Reds have only been beaten twice in their last 19 meetings with the Blues. That said, 5 of their last 6 encounters have ended in a draw. This match also features the league’s top defense against one of its most dangerous attacks. Liverpool have let in just 2 goals and kept 5 clean sheets, while Chelsea’s 16 goals are the second most in the league. In the end, it could come down to the big stars—Mo Salah and Cole Palmer. Salah has 4 goals and 4 assists in 7 games, while Palmer has 6 goals and 5 assists in the same stretch. I have both players to get on the scoresheet and at 6.50, those are juicy odds everyone in the online sports betting community should be jumping on. Betting Tips:
**Wolves vs. Manchester City** Reigning champs Man City head to Wolves aiming to end Matchday 8 on top of the table, and they’ve got good reason to feel confident. Wolves sit 20th and have given up 21 goals in 7 games, the worst defensive record in the league. City, of course, have Erling Haaland, the league’s top scorer, and should add to Wolves’ woes but they've had their own defensive issues too. City haven’t kept a league clean sheet since the opening day and have let in 8 goals in 7 matches—same as Man Utd. I think City will grab all 3 points, but Wolves might make it a bit… interesting. Betting Tips:
**Barcelona vs. Sevilla** Riding a 7-game home winning streak, Barcelona hosts Sevilla this weekend hoping to stay top of the table. Barca’s attack has been electric so far, netting 28 goals in 9 games—an average of 3.1 goals per match. A big part of this success comes from the trio of Robert Lewandowski, Raphinha, and Lamine Yamal. Lewandowski tops the league in goals with 10, while Raphinha is tied for 3rd with 5. Raphinha has also been key in creating chances, sitting joint 2nd in assists with 4, while Yamal leads with 5 assists. Betting Tips:
**Roma vs. Inter Milan** Roma face a tough challenge on Sunday when Inter visit the nation’s capital. Since 2021, Roma have lost 6 of their 8 Serie A matches against the Nerazzurri, including the last 3 at home. However, Roma have found the back of the net in their last 24 home games, so it won’t be an easy ride for the visitors. The player to watch is Inter’s Marcus Thuram, who currently leads the league with 7 goals. Betting Tips:
NFL
**49ers vs. Chiefs** Fresh off their bye week, the undefeated Chiefs face the 49ers in a Super Bowl rematch from last season. The Chiefs haven’t lost to the Niners since 2014, though they’ve only played 4 times since. Both teams have dealt with injuries all season, but the Chiefs have pushed through—largely thanks to a guy named Patrick Mahomes. Their defense has also been key to their unbeaten run, allowing just 17 points per game, making it the 6th best in the league. The Chiefs may be slight underdogs in this game but Rule #1 for the NFL online betting community is to never bet against Mahomes. Betting Tip:
**Bills vs. Titans** The Titans boast one of the league’s best defenses, allowing a league-low 248.8 yards per game. They rank first in passing defense and 10th in rushing defense. They’ve been that good. However, I still think the Bills take this, especially at home. The Titans’ offense is just too average to pull this off, and you know at some point, Josh Allen is going to put the team on his back and get them over the line. He’s been so careful with the ball this season and the Bills rank last in giveaways (2), a massive improvement on previous seasons. Plus, with their new wide receiver Amari Cooper set to make his debut, I’m feeling even more confident in this pick. Betting Tip:
**Vikings vs. Lions** These are two of the best teams in the NFC, and they just happen to be divisional rivals, adding to the intensity of this game. Instead of picking a winner, I’m playing it safe by leaning toward a high-scoring game. Both offenses have been on fire this season—the Lions lead the league in points per game (30.2), while the Vikings, one of only two unbeaten teams left, sit 5th with 27.8 points per game. There are plenty of reasons you won’t want to miss this one! Betting Tip:
**Giants vs. Eagles** With DeVonta Smith and AJ Brown back from injury, the Eagles’ offense has been clicking as they head to New York to face divisional rivals, the Giants. But with Malik Nabers clearing concussion protocols early Friday, the Giants will be feeling confident in their own chances. Nabers has been the standout rookie wide receiver this season, ranking 3rd in yards per game and 9th in targets, despite missing two games. I’m excited to see Nabers and AJ Brown light it up, but I think this game will ultimately come down to the Giants’ defense. They’ve been the slightly better unit, and I believe they’ll do enough to pull off an upset. Betting Tips:
