Football Accumulator Tips

Both teams have scored in each of Columbus Crew’s last five games and in five of the last six occasions that Philadelphia Union have been in action. The visitors have failed to keep a clean sheet on their travels this season, while Columbus have conceded in eight of nine games this term.

Austin have had their defensive issues in the last few weeks and have to recover from a 5-1 defeat to San Jose earthquakes in their most recent outing. That should encourage Houston, who can see off their Texan rivals and build upon 1-0 wins over Orlando City and San Diego.

Nashville are a strong proposition on their own patch, having won nine of their last 11 home games in MLS. That is bad news for Charlotte, who have to pick themselves up from the 4-1 defeat they suffered at Orlando City in their last outing.

San Jose have scored three goals or more in three MLS games in a row, including a 4-1 win over Los Angeles last Monday and they should be able to get the better of St Louis, who are still licking their wounds after a 4-1 loss to Seattle Sounders.

Inter’s matches have been high-scoring, with three or more goals in their last three games and no team having more matches over 3.5 goals this season. Torino’s home fixtures also support this, with four or more goals in four of their 16 games, alongside defensive issues on both sides.

Braga have won three of their last four league games to stay on course for a top-four finish. They head to Santa Clara, who are winless in three. The hosts have lost seven of their eight meetings with the top five, so side with Braga to pick up a ninth away win of the campaign.

Nice beat Strasbourg in the cup in midweek, but they lost the xG battle in that victory. Marseille head into this clash having failed to keep a clean sheet in four Ligue 1 games, but they’ve won three of their last four at the Velodrome.

Spanish second-tier leaders Racing Santander have won three of their last four, and they can make it 10 away wins for the campaign at out-of-sorts Cueta. The hosts are rooted in midtable after winning once in eight. Cueta have lost all three previous clashes with the top two, scoring in each defeat. Racing have conceded in nine straight, and in each of their last seven on the road.

AVS have improved since their relegation was confirmed, drawing back-to-back games against Guimaraes and Rio Ave. They scored three goals across those stalemates and can trouble Sporting, who have seen both teams score in eight of their last ten Primeira Liga away games.

Alex Wrigley: Fifth-place Como have had a fantastic season, but their form has dropped off a cliff over the past month or so. I Lariani have drawn one and lost three of their last four games, while Sunday’s hosts have won four of their last six ties and three of their last four at Stadio Luigi Ferraris.

Phil Agius: Rennes are finishing the Ligue 1 season with a flourish, winning seven of their last nine games. They have had a full week off since beating Strasbourg 3-0 away last Sunday, which was the fourth of those recent wins to be achieved without conceding a goal. Meanwhile, Nantes have won only one of their last 13 league games, failing to score in three of their last four defeats.

Henry Hardwicke: The Jambos have taken only one point from their last four away league matches. Those results do not inspire confidence when Derek McInnes’ men head for Leith and Hibs have lost only four of their last 16 Scottish top-flight games.

Gareth Freeman: Sevilla went down 2-0 at Levante in midweek as they slipped to a fourth defeat in their last five games. Osasuna could still sneak into the European spots and the reason they are still in contention is their strong home form. The Pamplona outfit are unbeaten in nine at home, with five wins.

Aaron Rogan: Spanish second-tier leaders Racing Santander have won three of their last four, and they can make it 10 away wins for the campaign at out-of-sorts Cueta. The hosts are rooted in midtable after winning once in eight. Cueta have lost all three previous clashes with the top two, scoring in each defeat. Racing have conceded in nine straight, and in each of their last seven on the road.

Dundee United are the bet at home to Dundee in the Premiership derby on Sunday. James Goodwin’s side have been the winners in three home games in a row. The visitors are out of form. Dundee are without a win in four Premiership games and have only won one of their last six matches.

Chelsea’s attacking issues should ease under Calum McFarlane, who oversaw a 1-1 draw at Man City in January, with the Blues creating 1.85 xG and three big chances in that game. Leeds have scored twice or more in their last four games, with their only clean sheet in that run coming against a relegated Wolves side.

An eight-game unbeaten run has fired Famalicao back into contention for the European places and they can give themselves another boost by making it five straight defeats for mid-table Estoril, who have lost their last four games.

Lille are six places and 16 points above Paris, and have won their last four away games. They are unbeaten in ten matches and have six wins from their last eight. Paris concede heavily against top-half sides at home, averaging 2.14 goals per game in those fixtures.

AC Milan have slipped up in the last few weeks of the Serie A title race and they look set to be overtaken by Juventus, who have won five of their last six league games.

Nice beat Strasbourg in the cup in midweek, but they lost the xG battle in that victory. Marseille head into this clash having failed to keep a clean sheet in four Ligue 1 games, but they’ve won three of their last four at the Velodrome.

Villarreal have been one of the best home teams in La Liga this season, winning 12 of their 15 matches in their own back yard, and they should be able to extend that run against a Celta Vigo side who have lost five of their last six.

AVS have improved since their relegation was confirmed, drawing back-to-back games against Guimaraes and Rio Ave. They scored three goals across those stalemates and can trouble Sporting, who have seen both teams score in eight of their last ten Primeira Liga away games.
