Our picks of this weekend’s matches that Nigerian fans care most about. Kick-off times are in West Africa Time (WAT). UK clocks are on BST (UTC+1) until 25 Oct, so Premier League times are the same in Lagos as in London.
Odds: we could not load bookmaker odds pages on 14 Oct 2026, so no odds are shown and we make no betting picks. Check odds on your licensed bookmaker and remember they change.
