Football Accumulator Tips

Tottenham visit St James’ Park off the back of a three-game losing streak, and the in-form Harvey Barnes could send Thomas Frank’s side to another disappointing result on Tuesday.The 27-year-old Newcastle attacker has scored seven times for the Magpies this season, including four goals in his last four, and he has more non-penalty expected goals than any other Newcastle player this season.

Athletic Bilbao have put together a good run of form at the San Mames this season, but Real Madrid are their toughest La Liga challenge yet and Kylian Mbappe is backed to put the Basque defence to the sword.Only Erling Haaland and Harry Kane have scored as many league goals as the France captain in Europe’s top five leagues this season, and his strike at Girona on Sunday followed a four-goal haul against Olympiacos last week.

Bryan Mbeumo has failed to score in his last two outings for Manchester United, but he can return to the scoresheet against a West Ham side with the joint-second-worst defensive record in the Premier League.The Cameroon international scored in Brentford’s home meeting with the Hammers last season to make it four goals in seven meetings with them, and he has seven goals for club and country this term.

A brace in a man-of-the-match performance against Osasuna on Saturday saw Vedat Muriqi surpass last season’s La Liga goals tally after just 13 appearances, and he can build on this performance at rock-bottom Real Oviedo on Friday.Four of Muriqi’s eight goals this season have come away from home, and the veteran centre forward can add to Oviedo’s woes.

Despite sitting a respectable tenth in the table, only three teams have conceded more Eredivisie goals than Heerenveen this season and their back line is set to come under siege from the best attack in the division.Table-toppers PSV have scored a league-high 44 goals in 14 games, and Guus Til has recorded almost a quarter of these strikes. His goal against Volendam at the weekend was his sixth in four games, and the 27-year-old has scored four goals in his last four meetings with Heerenveen.

Paris FC are putting in a good stint in their first season in Ligue 1 in almost half a century, and attacker Ilan Kebbal could help them to another positive result at Le Havre on Sunday.Following his sixth goal of the season against Auxerre last time out, only three players have scored more Ligue 1 goals than Kebbal this season, and he can continue his good form against a home side that have shipped four goals in their last two games.

Charleroi have lost five of six away trips to teams outside the bottom three. Mechelen can prey on that poor record, with the fifth-placed side aiming to add to the visitors’ four game losing streak on the road.

There have been 26 goals scored in Go Ahead Eagles’ seven away league matches this season while only PSV Eindhoven and NEC have scored more home goals than AZ this season. Everything points to entertainment in this one.

Roma are good favourites to win away at Cagliari on Sunday. Gian Piero Gasperini’s side have won the last six Serie A away games in which they were odds-on and they should get another victory.

Boreham Wood have won seven of their last eight games, while Newport County have lost five of their last eight games.

At least three goals have been scored in five of Brighton’s last eight games and also in four of West Ham’s last six matches. Back both teams to score in this clash too after goals at both ends in six of Brighton’s seven home league games this season. BTTS has landed in four of West Ham’s last five away games too.

Crystal Palace continue to impress, sitting fifth in the standings and fourth in the xG table. Fulham suffered their seventh defeat of the campaign on Tuesday, losing all four clashes with the top four. The Eagles have won four and drawn two of their last six visits to this ground, including a 2-0 win in February and a 3-0 victory in March.

Lorient have gone five games unbeaten at home, while they meet a Lyon side who have failed to win five of their first seven trips. The hosts have already beaten two top seven sides at home, so look to them to spring a surprise.

Juventus are unbeaten in seven games across all competitions, while they’ve won three games on the spin. Napoli have injury issues, so a solid Juve defence can play a key part in a narrow victory for the visitors.

Real Madrid return home after a month, aiming to pick up where they left off. The hosts posted impressive underlying numbers in wins over Valencia, Barca, Juve, and Villarreal. They have won by two or more goals in six of 11 league wins this term.

Porto can win without conceding when they visit Tondela on Sunday. The hosts have gone three home games without scoring in the Primeira Liga, and Porto have won four of their last six away games to nil.

Both these sides have built their success this season on a rock-solid foundation, paving the way for another low-scoring affair. Boca Juniors have seen fewer than three goals scored in each of their last four games, while five of Racing Club’s last six away games have produced two or fewer goals.

Club Aurora’s points deduction leaves them bottom of the Bolivian Division Profesional, but they have won nine times this season and face a Universitario de Vinto side that have lost their last four away games by an aggregate scoreline of 11-1.

Alex: The hosts have failed to win each of their last nine league matches and have taken only one point from the last 12 available on home soil. Metz have won three of their previous five, and they’re backed to take something from this game. 

Tom Hill: Palace can make it four wins in five away games this weekend, after impressing on the road this term. Fulham have struggled against the top four, and a high-flying Palace should prove too strong.

Tom: Carlisle are well-placed to take another League One scalp, with Blackpool winless in five, including four defeats.

Gareth: Depor have won four of their first seven home games and the league leaders can continue a seven-game winning streak against a side who are poor on the road.

Aaron Ashley: Lorient have lost only one of their seven league matches at home this season, but the hosts have had some defensive issues. Both teams have scored in six of their seven home outings. Lyon beat Nantes 3-0 last weekend and won 6-0 in Europe this week, so back goals. 

Aaron: Real Madrid return home after a month, aiming to pick up where they left off. The hosts posted impressive underlying numbers in wins over Valencia, Barca, Juve, and Villarreal. They have won by two or more goals in six of 11 league wins this term.

Paris are the best bet to win away at Le Havre on Sunday. The hosts have been poor at home, with just two wins in seven games, and Paris should be able to take advantage.

Crystal Palace continue to impress, sitting fifth in the standings and fourth in the xG table. Fulham suffered their seventh defeat of the campaign on Tuesday, losing all four clashes with the top four. The Eagles have won four and drawn two of their last six visits to this ground, including a 2-0 win in February and a 3-0 victory in March.

Lazio have lost to nil in five of their six meetings with top-half sides in Serie A, while they meet a Bologna side who have won eight of their last 12, and three of their previous four league trips.

Espanyol are the best bet to win at home to Rayo Vallecano on Sunday. This is a tough place to visit. They are sixth in the league table, three places and seven points above Rayo Vallecano. The hosts have won seven of their 14 games this season, while Rayo have just four wins.

Arouca have shipped 15 goals across a four-game losing streak, including a 4-3 loss at Estoril in their last away day. The hosts have kept one clean sheet at home this season, while BTTS has landed in three of their last four.

Real Madrid return home after a month, aiming to pick up where they left off. The hosts posted impressive underlying numbers in wins over Valencia, Barca, Juve, and Villarreal. They have won by two or more goals in six of 11 league wins this term.
