Football Accumulator Tips

Wolves’ win over Shrewsbury last weekend made it four games without defeat and they have only lost one of their last seven meetings with Newcastle at Molineux. The Magpies lost the first leg of their League Cup semi-final in midweek and have just two wins in their last nine away assignments.

Aston Villa drew 0-0 at injury-hit Crystal Palace in their last Premier League fixture but they are immensely strong at Villa Park and should defeat Everton, who have won just once in their last seven games.

Vallecano are seven points worse off than their hosts and only basement boys Real Oviedo (nine) have scored fewer goals than their 15, with that lack of firepower likely to cost them in Vigo.

Milan are looking to keep up the pursuit of city rivals Inter at the top of the table and they have not lost since a surprise home reverse against Cremonese on the opening weekend. No team in Serie A scored fewer goals in their opening 20 matches than Lecce this season and the strugglers look primed to draw another blank in this daunting trip.

Malaga are unbeaten in seven in this competition and have won back-to-back road games. The in-form visitors are seeking a fifth successive victory and look backable as big price underdogs against a Cordoba side who have been inconsistent at home.

Porto have averaged 2.22 goals per game on their travels, and they should add to that in Sunday night’s visit to Guimaraes. While Porto could cover this line on their own, Guimaraes have scored in seven of their nine home matches, netting 14 times.

Wolves endured a torrid first half of the season, but they head into this tie unbeaten in four games and have only lost one of their last seven home meetings with Newcastle, while the Magpies have only won two of their last nine away fixtures.

Aston Villa are on an 11-game winning run across all comps at Villa Park and they should be able to claim a fairly comfortable win over Everton. The Villans have scored multiple goals in six of their last seven at home, while Everton arrive in mixed form with just one win and three defeats in their last seven games. Chelsea and Brentford have beaten Everton by more than one goal recently, and this in-form Villa side should be able to cover a -1 handicap.

Bologna should be backed to beat Fiorentina at home in Serie A on Sunday. The visitors are yet to win away this season – they have drawn five and lost five on the road – and Bologna can take advantage.

Strasbourg should be backed to beat Metz at home in Ligue 1 on Sunday. The visitors have lost eight of their last ten away games and Gary O’Neil’s side can take advantage.

Stuttgart have been ruthless at home this season and look well placed to claim another three points against Union Berlin in the Bundesliga. Stuttgart have won six of their eight home league games and arrive with momentum after a 3-2 win over Eintracht Frankfurt. They are perfect when priced as odds-on this season and have shown they can hurt strong opposition, averaging over 1.6 goals per game against top-half sides. Union Berlin’s away record is mixed and they face a step up in class here.

This is a meeting between the top two in La Liga 2 and Las Palmas arrive in the better form. Racing are on a four-game winless run and have lost their last two, going down 3-2 to Zaragoza in their last league game. Las Palmas won the reverse fixture 3-1 and are on a five-game unbeaten run, they can take the points here.

Aston Villa are on an 11-game winning run across all comps at Villa Park and they should be able to claim a fairly comfortable win over Everton. The Villans have scored multiple goals in six of their last seven at home, while Everton arrive in mixed form with just one win and three defeats in their last seven games. Chelsea and Brentford have beaten Everton by more than one goal recently, and this in-form Villa side should be able to cover a -1 handicap.

Albacete pulled off a stunning giant killing last time out as they dumped Real Madrid out of the Copa del Rey but they could be brought back down to earth by Cadiz. Albacete have lost six of their  home games, while Cadiz sit 10 points above their hosts and come into this game in fine form with three wins in their last four game, drawing the other.

While both teams are rock-solid defensively, there is a possibility that Morocco have slightly more quality across the board and they could grind this result out. The Atlas Lions have won five of the last seven head-to-heads and have home advantage as the host nation.

Lyon have won their last five games across all competitions and have won six of their eight home Ligue 1 games. They should be able to see off poor travellers Brest, who have five defeats in eight league trips, but the visitors have gone six games without drawing a blank and can register a consolation effort.

Milan are on a 19-game unbeaten run in Serie A and should have far too much for struggling Lecce, who have lost four of their last five games. The hosts have three clean sheets in their last five home games and have shipped just 16 goals in 20 league games. Lecce have failed to score in four of their last six games so a home win to nil stands out.

Lyon have won their last five games across all competitions and have won six of their eight home Ligue 1 games. They should be able to see off poor travellers Brest, who have five defeats in eight league trips.

Malaga are unbeaten in seven in this competition and have won back-to-back road games, including an eye-catching 3-1 win at a decent Gijon outfit in their last trip. Cordoba sit ninth overall but they only have the 14th best home record in the division with just four wins in 10 games, and they look vulnerable against an in-form Los Albicelestes outfit.

Barcelona are on an 11-game winning run across all competitions and should be able to make it 12 in a row at the Anoeta, where Real Sociedad have been uncharacteristically inconsistent this season. Goals haven’t been the problem for La Real, however, as they have scored in eight of their nine home league games and overall have scored in six successive games. Sociedad have also scored in games against Villarreal (L), Real Madrid (L) and Atletico Madrid (L) this season – and all three of those sides have conceded fewer league goals than Barcelona. So back the visitors to win and concede.
