Football Accumulator Tips

Manchester United played out another thriller in Nottingham last weekend and over 2.5 goals has landed in eight of their last nine games, while Tottenham have seen three or more goals in five of their last seven league games.

Everton have been fairly solid at home this season with eight points from five games. The Merseyside outfit claimed a point at Sunderland last time out and can make home advantage count against Fulham, who have the joint worst away record in the league with just one point from five trips.

West Ham picked up a huge result with a 3-1 win over Newcastle last time out and they can follow that up with another victory over Burnley, who have lost four of their five Premier League away games.

Premier League leaders Arsenal are on a 10-game winning run across all competitions and they should be able to make it 11 in a row at Sunderland, but the Black Cats are in fine form themselves and can at least get on the scoresheet against the division’s stingiest backline. Sunderland are yet to draw a blank at home in any competition and have scored nine across their five Premier League games at the Stadium of Light.

Chelsea put four past Wolves in the League Cup last month and have scored three or more goals in each of their last four meetings with the struggling side. Wolves have conceded 12 goals in their last four matches and harbour the Premier League’s worst defensive record.

Leipzig have won three of their last four away Bundesliga games and lost only once in their last six on the road. They sit second, four places and six points above Hoffenheim. Leipzig have scored in eight consecutive matches and kept four clean sheets in their last six away games.

Bradford look the standout bet to make their quality count against struggling Burton. The hosts sit second in League One and remain unbeaten in nine at home, while Burton have lost six of their 14 games and lack consistency. With Bradford scoring twice or more in over half their matches, they should have too much firepower here.

Bristol Rovers have lost their last four league games but they can snap the sequence by defeating Gillingham at the Memorial Ground. The Pirates dug out a 2-1 win at Bromley in the FA Cup first round and can follow with maximum points against the Gills, who have gone seven games without success.

Everton have been fairly solid at home this season with eight points from five games. The Merseyside outfit claimed a point at Sunderland last time out and can make home advantage count against Fulham, who have the joint worst away record in the league with just one point from five trips.

Ipswich look a strong bet to take all three points at the Liberty Stadium. Swansea have failed to win five of their last six home games and continue to struggle defensively, conceding in 14 of their last 17 league matches. With Ipswich more consistent at both ends, the visitors can make their quality count on the road.

Sevilla are backed to beat Osasuna at home. Sevilla have won four and lost six of their 11 games, while Osasuna are 15th with three wins and six defeats. Osasuna are without a win in three league games and have not won any of their last nine away matches.

It’s three straight league defeats Fortuna Sittard, who were hammered 5-2 at PSV last time out, and Heerenveen can have high hopes of three points on the road.

Milan have been in very solid form this season, winning eight of their 12 games in all competitions and they should be able to pick up another win against a Parma side who have only scored five times in ten league games.

Monaco have ground to make up on Lens in Ligue 1, but the visitors have struggled to find the net on the road and may head back north with nothing to show for their efforts.

Four of Sporting’s last five Primeira Liga games have seen them win to nil. At the other end, no side has eclipsed their 25 goals scored so expect a comfortable away win.

James: Leipzig have won eight of their last nine fixtures in all competitions, while they’ve scored 15 times in their last four games. Hoffenheim have collected just three points from a possible 12 at home in the league, so back an away win. 

Alex: Bayern have scored 55 times in 16 matches this term, while they’ve scored 27 times across eight away games. Back them to trouble a Union Berlin side who shipped four goals to Hoffenheim.

Warren: Barrow are unbeaten in five and they’re good value to secure the points at home to Grimsby. The visitors have lost two of their last three and have plenty of defensive concerns going into this contest.

Aidan: Championship top-scorers Coventry have notched 39 goals in 14 games, while Stoke are fourth in the scoring charts with 21 strikes. Over 3.5 has landed in the Sky Blues’ last three games.

Aaron: AC Milan have conceded plenty of chances across their last six games, giving up at least 1.1 xG in each. They meet a Parma side who have conceded in back-to-back defeats.

Joe: Espnayol have slowed down after a bright start, picking up eight points from their last seven games. Villarreal have won five from seven in La Liga and they can secure maximum points once more.

Everton have been fairly solid at home this season with eight points from five games. The Merseyside outfit claimed a point at Sunderland last time out and can make home advantage count against Fulham, who have the joint-worst away record in the league with just one point from five trips. However, the Toffees have gone seven games without a clean sheet in all competitions, and Fulham have a good scoring record on the road despite their results. The Cottagers have only failed to score in one of their six trips across all competitions, netting exactly once in all five of those games.

Huddersfield are on a poor run, losing four of their last six League One matches and failing to keep a clean sheet in six of their last eight. Plymouth have four wins this season and the hosts continue to struggle.

Wrexham look good value to topple sixth-placed Charlton and continue their solid home form. The hosts have lost just once in their last six league games at the Racecourse and remain tough to break down. With Charlton failing to keep a clean sheet in five of their last seven, Wrexham’s attacking output could be enough for a statement win.

Sevilla are backed to beat Osasuna at home. Sevilla have won four and lost six of their 11 games, while Osasuna are 15th with three wins and six defeats. Osasuna are without a win in three league games and have not won any of their last nine away matches.

Marseille have scored three or more goals in four of their 11 Ligue 1 games, with eight of their last nine home matches seeing over 3.5 goals. Brest have conceded 18 goals in 11 games, while Marseille have failed to keep a clean sheet in four of their last six league matches, indicating a high-scoring game.

Both teams have scored in four of Torino’s last six games and they are facing a Juve side who have only kept one clean sheet in their last 12 outings so both teams to score is the selection in this one.

Atletico Madrid have won four of their last five and are unbeaten at home this season, but they have conceded in five of their eight home fixtures and face a Levante side that have scored in six of their seven away matches.

Monchengladbach should be backed to beat Cologne at Borussia-Park. They are 16th in the table with one win, three draws and five defeats from nine games, while Cologne are seventh with four wins, two draws and three defeats. Despite the gap, Monchengladbach are tipped to get the victory in this Rhine derby matchup.

Premier League leaders Arsenal are on a 10-game winning run across all competitions and they should be able to make it 11 in a row at Sunderland, but the Black Cats are in fine form themselves and can at least get on the scoresheet against the division’s stingiest backline. Sunderland are yet to draw a blank at home in any competition and have scored nine across their five Premier League games at the Stadium of Light, while Arsenal have conceded in 40% of their away games so backing both teams to score looks a decent value play here.

Chelsea put four past Wolves in the League Cup last month and have scored three or more goals in each of their last four meetings with the struggling side. Wolves have conceded 12 goals in their last four matches and harbour the Premier League’s worst defensive record.

Zwolle have won only one of their opening five home league matches this term and they have shipped ten goals in the process. Sparta Rotterdam, who have been pretty good on the road this season, can collect another three points.

Milan have been in very solid form this season, winning eight of their 12 games in all competitions and they should be able to pick up another win against a Parma side who have only scored five times in ten league games.

Bologna are unbeaten at home this season and they have been a bit of a bogey team for Napoli in recent seasons, with just one defeat in the last five head-to-head meetings. Napoli arrive in mixed form overall with just two wins in their last six and they’ve lost four of their last five away games across all competitions, so Bologna may be able to pull off a minor upset and defeat the defending champions on Sunday.

Hearts won 3-2 in Dundee when these sides last met in August and should win more comfortably on home soil on Sunday. The Edinburgh outfit are unbeaten at home with five wins in six league games, and four of those wins have come by at least two goals. Dundee United have just one win in their last five and lost 2-0 at mid-table rivals Motherwell last time out.

Almeria are riding high in second spot in Spain’s Segunda Division and they can boost their automatic promotion chances with a victory at promoted Ceuta on Sunday. Ceuta were beaten 2-0 at Cordoba last time out, and Almeria are the best side they will have hosted so far this season.

PSG have won and conceded in each of their last five games against Lyon and Sunday’s game could follow that pattern. PSG have the best away record in Ligue 1 with 11 points from six games and Les Gones have hit a dip in form with no wins in their last three across all competitions, but they have scored in 17 consecutive competitive home games stretching back into last season and in each of their last six against the visitors.

Barcelona have the best attack in La Liga but they’ve also been conceding, with both teams scoring in each of their last nine games. Celta Vigo have scored in 15 consecutive games so both of these teams look capable of contributing and they can combine for at least four goals.

Braga’s usually watertight defence shipped four goals against Genk in midweek but they can claim a win and a morale boosting clean sheet against Moreirense. Braga have four wins in their last six home games across all competitions and have kept shut-outs in all of those victories, while the visitors have lost three of their five away games in this competition – failing to score in each of those losses.

With the series tied at 1-1, Inter Miami have home advantage for the third leg and they should be able to overcome Nashville. Inter have won six of the last seven meetings between these two teams but have conceded in all of those games, and Nashville are unlikely to draw a blank as they have scored in nine consecutive games. Back the hosts to win and concede.

Both teams have scored in each of Macarthur’s last four games and they have gone five without a clean sheet across all competitions. Sydney have scored in all of their games this season in all comps, but have just one clean sheet in their last four fixtures.

Both of these teams have made mixed starts to the season but Brisbane’s solid defence gives them a platform to claim a win over Newcastle. The Roar have four points from two home games and are yet to concede in front of their own fans, while the Jets lost at Central Coast in their only trip so far and are winless in four A-League away games stretching into last season.

Brentford are doing better than many anticipated they would this season and after claiming some notable home scalps, they could have too much for Newcastle who have yet to taste victory on the road this season.

Getafe sit higher in the table and have shown they can edge close games. Mallorca struggle for goals and many of their defeats are by narrow margins. Getafe have won their last two league matches by a single goal, and their disciplined approach supports a win for the visitors.

Aston Villa are on a five-game winning streak at home, but they may concede against a Bournemouth side that have scored in nine of their ten Premier League matches this season, while both teams to score has landed in three of the last four meetings between these sides.

Brentford are doing better than many anticipated they would this season and after claiming some notable home scalps, they could have too much for Newcastle who have yet to taste victory on the road this season.

Liverpool have steadied the ship with wins over Aston Villa and Real Madrid, but Manchester City and Erling Haaland provide a tough test what what has been a shaky Reds defence, so take the hosts to come out on top.

Rangers have seen a recent upturn in their league fortunes, winning their last two league games against Hibernian and Kilmarnock. Both teams have scored in the last three games between Rangers and Dundee.

Hearts have a nine-point gap at the top of the Scottish Premiership and they should be able to pick up a tenth win of the league campaign against Dundee United. Eight of Hearts’ last ten Premiership games have produced three goals or more.

Almeria are riding high in second spot in Spain’s Segunda Division and they can boost their automatic promotion chances with a victory at promoted Ceuta on Sunday.

Auxerre are rock bottom of the Ligue 1 table with eight defeats from 11 games, and, with just one of their seven points coming away from home this season, they could be in for another miserable afternoon at the Stade Raymond-Kopa.

Valencia are winless in six in La Liga and they have only won two of their home games so far this season, while Real Betis are unbeaten on the road in the league.

Almeria are riding high in second spot in Spain’s Segunda Division and they can boost their automatic promotion chances with a victory at promoted Ceuta on Sunday. Ceuta were beaten 2-0 at Cordoba last time out, and Almeria are the best side they will have hosted so far this season.

Nice have only lost one of their last six Ligue 1 games away to Metz and they can put an end to the hosts’ winning streak when they visit Stade Saint-Symphorien on Sunday.

Liverpool have steadied the ship with wins over Aston Villa and Real Madrid, but Manchester City and Erling Haaland provide a tough test what what has been a shaky Reds defence, so take the hosts to come out on top.

Augsburg have lost six of their last eight league games and struggled defensively, conceding 21 goals this season.

Real Madrid are league leaders with ten wins from eleven and are consistent when scoring first. Recent meetings between these teams often feature goals at both ends, and Real edged this fixture 2-1 last time. Rayo have form, but Madrid’s quality and scoring power point towards an away win with goals at both ends.

Eintracht Frankfurt are stronger in form and league position. They sit nine places above Mainz, have scored freely at home, and average over two goals per match there. Mainz have lost five of their last seven Bundesliga games, have not kept a clean sheet this season, and remain vulnerable defensively. Mainz usually manage to score, however, and five of the last seven meetings have seen both teams find the net. 

PSG have won and conceded in each of their last five games against Lyon and Sunday’s game could follow that pattern. PSG have the best away record in Ligue 1 with 11 points from six games and Les Gones have hit a dip in form with no wins in their last three across all competitions, but they have scored in 17 consecutive competitive home games stretching back into last season and in each of their last six against the visitors.
