Football Accumulator Tips

Feyenoord are PSV’s closest challengers in the Eredivisie, but Robin van Persie’s side have an awful record against the teams around them. They have lost home and away to PSV, fallen 4-2 at home to third-placed NEC Nijmegen, and they were beaten 2-0 at Ajax earlier this season. Feyenood are winless across their seven meetings with the top six. Meanwhile, Ajax have suffered only two defeats across 13 away trips.

Monaco have won five of their last seven games, only falling short in their two clashes with PSG in the Champions League which they lost 5-4 on aggregate. Lyon are now winless in seven games, and Monaco have the fitness edge after a free midweek. 

Aston Villa may have won in their midweek Europa League match, but they are winless in their last four Premier League games and come up against a resurgent West Ham, who have only lost two of their last 12 in all competitions.

Tottenham have scored ten goals and conceded 19 in their last seven matches, with both teams to score landing in each of those fixtures. They face a Nottingham Forest side that have seen goals at both ends in each of their last three away games.

Tom: Lyon are winless in seven matches in all competitions and they look vulnerable ahead of the visit of Monaco. Sebastien Pocognoli’s side have won four of their last five, while they have only lost one of their eight in all competitions.

Dan: West Ham have been beaten just twice in their last 12 matches and can avoid defeat at Villa Park. Villa have looked strong on European nights, but they have lost three on the spin in the Premier League and are worth opposing against a highly-motivated and in-form opponent.

Ian: A deserved 1-1 draw at Anfield showed there are signs of life for Tottenham, which was followed up by a European win in midweek. Spurs can gain only a third home league win of the season against the Tricky Trees, who needed extra-time to see off Midtjylland in the Europa League on Thursday and have won just one of their last 11 matches inside 90 minutes.

Alex: Bottom side Metz have shipped 60 goals in 26 games and have averaged 2.85 goals conceded per away game this season. Rennes have notched 12 goals in their last five, scoring three or more against PSG, Nice, and Auxerre.

Gareth: St Pauli need to make the most of their remaining home games, and they’re on a six-game unbeaten run at home, including a victory over Stuttgart and a draw with Leipzig. Freiburg have been poor on their travels all season with eight defeats in 13 Bundesliga trips, and they have have little left to play for in the league.

Arsenal extended their unbeaten run to 14 games in midweek, with 11 of those ending in victory. They are unbeaten in their last five meetings with Manchester City and could clinch their first League Cup since 1993 against a side that have drawn one and lost two of their last three games.

Clean sheets have been an issue for both clubs so backing both teams to score looks a strong play here. Bilbao’s last shut-out came in a cup game against a third tier side and they’ve conceded in 18 successive games, while Betis have just one clean sheet in their last seven games. Both teams have scored in each of the last five meetings between these sides and that pattern could continue on Sunday.

Atleti have had the edge in La Liga meetings between the two Madrid giants of late but Real can claim the bragging rights on Sunday.

Charlotte had incredible success at home last season and they’re good value to see off the visitors, who have earned only one point from their previous two games. Dean Smith’s side have beaten Austin and drawn with Inter Miami in back-to-back home matches, and they were 1-0 winners in this fixture last term.

LAFC have won four from four this season, but they’ve faced a busy start to the season as they juggle Champions Cup matches. Austin have scored in all four of their games this term, but they’ve lost back-to-back matches ahead of this clash. The visitors were 4-1 winners here in November during the playoffs, and they can claim another high-scoring win.

No team has scored more MLS goals this season than the Vancouver Whitecaps, who have netted 14 times in four games. With Thomas Muller and Brian White they have a number of potent attacking threats but San Jose are no slouches and could play their part in a game which goes over 3.5 goals.
