Weekend Football Verdict (Ethiopia Time)
Last weekend: 3 of 5 picks correct · since 10 Oct: 14 of 23 · see the results
Updated 9 November 2026. There is no Premier League football on 14–15 November: it is an international break. The league returns on Saturday 21 November (matchweek 11), and below is the early bookmakers’ view of its four biggest games, with kick-off in Ethiopian time. Full odds from 17 bookmakers and the tipsters follow on Friday. Last weekend’s results, the table and our picks are further down. Opinions, not guarantees — there is no such thing as a “sure” or “fixed” match.
Early Verdict for 21–22 November (after the international break)
We took the average match-winner odds listed on betexplorer on Monday 9 November, removed the bookmakers’ margin and turned them into plain percentages. Odds will move during the break (injuries on international duty), so treat this as a first look; the full verdict from 17 bookmakers, with the best prices and the tipsters, comes on Friday.
Ethiopian clock = EAT minus six hours (15:30 EAT = 9:30 ቀን). Percentages are the bookmakers’ opinion, not a guarantee — last weekend the favourite won only 2 of our 5 games. 1win and Megapari are licensed abroad, not in Ethiopia; no betting site holds an Ethiopian licence since 15 December 2025.

Our early picks for 21–22 November
Made on Monday from the early odds; if team news during the international break changes the picture, we update them on Friday and say so.
Manchester City v Fulham — Sat 21 Nov, 15:30 EAT
City have lost three league games in a row (2-1 at Villa, 0-1 to Brighton, 3-1 at Forest) but are still third. Fulham are 15th with two wins in ten. Early market: City 65%.
Pick: Manchester City to win.
Chelsea v Leeds United — Sat 21 Nov, 18:00 EAT
Chelsea lost 1-0 at Sunderland but are fifth and won their last home game 2-0 against United. Leeds are ninth, beat Tottenham 1-0 and have conceded only eight goals in ten games, so this may be tight. Early market: Chelsea 52%.
Pick: Chelsea to win.
Newcastle United v Arsenal — Sat 21 Nov, 20:30 EAT
Arsenal have won nine of ten and conceded five goals; they lead by five points. Newcastle are 12th with one point from their last two games. Early market: Arsenal 59%.
Pick: Arsenal to win.
Liverpool v Manchester United — Sun 22 Nov, 19:30 EAT
Liverpool won 3-1 at Palace and are fourth. United have one win in ten and are 18th, although they scored four against Villa. Early market: Liverpool 54%.
Pick: Liverpool to win.
How to use these predictions sensibly
- Check the official team sheets about one hour before kick-off. Injury news often changes late.
- Single bets are easier to control than long accumulators. One wrong leg loses the whole accumulator.
- Set a budget for the weekend and do not chase losses.
- Ignore Telegram channels that sell “fixed matches”. They are scams.

FAQ
What time do Premier League games start in Ethiopia?
From 25 October to late March the UK is on GMT, so Ethiopian time is UK time plus 3 hours: a 15:00 UK kick-off starts at 18:00 EAT and a 12:30 kick-off at 15:30 EAT. On the Ethiopian clock subtract six hours from EAT (15:30 EAT = 9:30 ቀን, 19:30 EAT = 1:30 ምሽት).
Are these predictions guaranteed?
No. They are opinions based on form, the league table and confirmed injury news. Football results are uncertain, and anyone selling “sure” or “fixed” matches is not telling the truth.
Is there Champions League football this weekend?
No. Champions League matches are played midweek, usually on Tuesdays and Wednesdays. This page covers weekend league games and is updated every week.
Is online betting legal in Ethiopia?
No Ethiopian operator holds a licence since 15 December 2025. Read our legal guide and the relaunch news for the latest status.
