Football Accumulator Tips

Barnsley have started the season well and they look a good bet to extend their winning run to four from five matches when they visit AFC Wimbledon on Saturday.

Both teams to score is the best bet for Saturday’s Championship clash between Birmingham and Oxford at St. Andrew’s. Oxford were 3-2 losers to Hull last weekend and there should be goals again in this one. Birmingham have scored in 18 of their last 20 league games and both teams have scored in their last three.

Cambridge have adapted reasonably quickly to League Two football and can bolster their promotion push by defeating Bristol Rovers at the Memorial Stadium. Neil Harris’s side won 2-1 at Colchester on Tuesday, with both teams scoring for the third game on the bounce. The visitors seem to be in much better shape than Rovers, who have taken one point from four matches.

Kilmarnock are unbeaten in their first three matches of the campaign and downed Dundee United 2-1 in the League Cup at the weekend. However, Stuart Kettlewell’s men have conceded five goals in those three games and backing overs look the play when Dundee come to Rugby Park.

Notts County have scored in 13 of their last 15 League Two games, while Bromley have netted at least twice in three of four this season. Both sides’ recent matches consistently feature goals at both ends, making both teams to score a strong bet for Saturday’s clash.

Bradford have seamlessly transitioned from League Two to League One football and can move onto 13 points by defeating Peterborough at London Road. Posh are pointless after four losses in a row, but the visitors have conceded in each of their three wins this term.

West Brom were excellent in claiming three points at Wrexham last time out and have settled well to life under Ryan Mason, and they should have too much for Portsmouth, who won just three times on the road last season.

After a couple of positive performances that failed to yield any points, Wrexham will fancy their chances against troubled Sheffield Wednesday, but the Owls need to pick themselves up from last week’s home loss to Stoke and there could be a few goals at the Racecourse Ground.

This should be an entertaining encounter in which both teams find the net. That has happened in all but two of Celta Vigo’s last 11 games on their travels and on 10 of the last 12 occasions when Mallorca have been at home, so there seems little reason to suggest that pattern will not be followed.

Moreirense have got their Portuguese campaign off to an excellent start with victories over Alverca and Santa Clara and they should be able to build on that against Vitoria Guimaraes. The visitors were beaten 3-0 in the opening away game of the season at Porto and could struggle again.

This looks set to be an entertaining encounter and over 3.5 goals looks an attractive option. Salzburg have scored in 23 of their last 24 league games and there have been 29 goals in the Red Bulls’ eight all-competition matches this term.

Charlton have won 14 of their last 15 home matches while Leicester have lost eight of their last 10 away matches and on their last three visits to The Valley.

Hull should be backed to beat Blackburn at home in the Championship on Saturday. The Tigers have four points on the board, while Blackburn have suffered successive defeats.

Luton have picked up three wins from four matches and should be backed to get a home victory over Cardiff in League One on Saturday.

MK Dons are the best bet to win at Newport on Saturday. The hosts are without a home win in League Two in seven games and could struggle to stop the promotion favourites.

Tottenham may not be as free and easy at the back under Thomas Frank, but there is still scope for their to be goals in a fixture that rarely disappoints.

Bournemouth’s opening-night defeat to Liverpool was far more encouraging than Wolves’ 4-0 capitulation against Manchester City the following day and the home side should get their first victory of the campaign.

Aston Villa failed to show much punch up front against Newcastle in their opening game but they should be able to get the better of a Brentford defence who looked shaky in their opening game against Nottingham Forest.

Arsenal had a perfect record against promoted teams in the Premier League last season and they should be too strong for Leeds. The Gunners had the best backline in the division last season and managed to shut Manchester United out in their curtain raiser last week, so back them to win this encounter.

Everton lost their opening four games of last season, including a 3-0 home loss to Brighton. The Toffees started this term with a poor display in a 1-0 loss to newly-promoted Leeds. They won only five times in 19 home games in an intense Goodison atmosphere, with no wins over top-half sides. In fact, the Toffees failed to score in seven of 10 meetings with them at home, while Brighton won at six of last season’s bottom eight.

Manchester United have won on their last eight visits to Craven Cottage. Meanwhile, Fulham have lost five of their last eight Premier League home matches and lost the xG battle in five of their last six at Craven Cottage.

Eintracht Frankfurt, last season’s third-placed Bundesliga side, were the most profitable home team, finishing with three wins from their last four at Deutsche Bank Park. They’ve made some good summer moves, while Werder Bremen have endured a tricky summer which saw their manager leave. A run of three consecutive friendly losses was followed by an early cup exit last weekend.

Barnsley have started the season well and they look a good bet to extend their winning run to four from five matches when they visit AFC Wimbledon on Saturday.

Aston Villa failed to show much punch up front against Newcastle in their opening game but they should be able to get the better of a Brentford defence who looked shaky in their opening game against Nottingham Forest.

Coventry should be backed to beat QPR at the CBS Arena on Saturday. Frank Lampard’s side have been winners in seven of their last nine Championship home games.

The wind was taken out of Hearts’ good start to the campaign in a penalty shootout League Cup defeat at St Mirren last weekend, but the Jambos were the better side in that tie and the capital club can bounce back against Motherwell.

Swindon suffered a setback on Tuesday with a surprise 2-0 loss at home to Barnet, but they can bounce back immediately by defeating Shrewsbury at the County Ground. The Robins have had a pretty positive year and are much easier to trust than Shrewsbury, who have won once in their last 22 games.

Moreirense have got their Portuguese campaign off to an excellent start with victories over Alverca and Santa Clara and they should be able to build on that against Vitoria Guimaraes. The visitors were beaten 3-0 in the opening away game of the season at Porto and could struggle again.

Nice had one of the best home records in the division last season while Auxerre had one of the worst on their travels. The signing of Kevin Carlos could also solve the home team’s goalscoring issues.

Atletico Madrid have led at half-time and full-time in their last four home La Liga games. Simeone’s side led at the break against Espanyol last week and could make a fast start as they aim will put that ultimate defeat behind them. The club blew away the league’s strugglers at home last season, so back them to secure a win.

Max Allegri knows how to grind out points and Milan should take all three against promoted opposition. New Cremonese manager Davide Nicola saw his Cagliari side scored just 44 goals in 41 games last season, while the Rossoneri have enough talent to cause problems.

Bournemouth’s opening-night defeat to Liverpool was far more encouraging than Wolves’ 4-0 capitulation against Manchester City the following day and the home side should get their first victory of the campaign.

Barnsley have started the season well and they look a good bet to extend their winning run to four from five matches when they visit AFC Wimbledon on Saturday.

The wind was taken out of Hearts’ good start to the campaign in a penalty shootout League Cup defeat at St Mirren last weekend, but the Jambos were the better side in that tie and the capital club can bounce back against Motherwell.

West Brom were excellent in claiming three points at Wrexham last time out and have settled well to life under Ryan Mason, and they should have too much for Portsmouth, who won just three times on the road last season.

Roma have not beaten Bologna in the last five attempts. Meanwhile, Bologna have won two and drawn one of their last four visits to Stadio Olimpico to face the Giallorossi. They lost only five of their last 12 away trips last term.

Telstar have lost their opening two Eredivisie matches, but they performed with credit when going down 2-0 at Ajax and the White Lions are set a far easier task when Volendam come to town.

Arouca were thumped 6-0 by Sporting last week but they had to play 60 minutes with 10 men, and they should fare better at home. They have a strong record on their own patch and can beat Rio Ave, who failed to see off 10-man Nacional last week.

Goals are on the cards when Benfica host Tondela at Estadio da Luz. Back over 3.5 goals. Benfica have scored in 35 of their last 37 league games and 13 of their 34 Primeira Liga matches last season produced four goals or more.
