Football Accumulator Tips

Fiorentina enjoyed a big win last time and can follow that up at Stadio Ennio Tardini against Carlos Cuesta’s hosts. The hosts look frail defensively. Parma have failed to keep a clean sheet in six of their last seven Serie A games and have conceded 11 goals at home this season. Parma have won just one of their last ten home games in Serie A, losing four of the last six. They have been beaten in their last two at home.

Hearts are riding high at the top of the Scottish Premiership table and are fancied to get one over on their rivals in this Edinburgh derby. The visitors have won 12 of their 18 league games this season and should be too strong for a Hibees team who have lost three of their last five.

Manchester City have put together a seven-game winning run across all competitions and they’ve won their last three Premier League games by three-goal margins. Forest’s form has dipped with three defeats in their last five league games.

Annan have seen an average of four goals scored per game at home this term, while they’ve rattled off successive 3-1 victories in League Two. They meet a Stranraer side who have hit form, scoring 10 times in a three game unbeaten run.

Falkirk travel to Dundee with an 11-point advantage despite being only three places higher. Dundee have lost seven of their last nine Premiership games and struggle for goals. Falkirk have three clean sheets in four away matches and have scored regularly against bottom-half opposition.

Cove Rangers have lost five of their nine trips so far this term, while they’ve been beaten 3-1 and 2-1 in meetings with Peterhead. The hosts have won five home games this term, but they have shipped 1.44 goals per game at home, beating bottom side Kelty Hearts 3-2 in their previous home game.

Ross County have lost four straight games, conceding 13 times in that stretch. They’re bottom of the table with seven defeats in 10 home games, while leaders St Johnstone have won 5-0 and 4-2 in their previous two matches.

St Mirren are two places and five points above Kilmarnock and have won their last two Premiership home games. They have scored in four straight league matches. Kilmarnock have one win in eight away games and have lost nine of their last 11 Premiership fixtures.

West Ham find themselves five points from safety and that is unlikely to improve on Saturday. Fulham beat in-form Nottingham Forest on Monday to make it five wins in eight Premier League games and they look far too strong for a Hammers side who have conceded 35 league goals and lost six of their last eight home matches.

Udinese could not break their losing habit last weekend, suffering a heavy 5-1 defeat away to Fiorentina in their last Serie A outing. The hosts are enduring a difficult run of results, having lost four times in their last six Serie A games, so back Lazio to take the points.

Both teams have scored in three of the last four meetings between these sides, one of which ended in a 2-2 draw. The Blues drew 2-2 at Newcastle last time out and Villa are in irresistible form following ten straight victories, so this should be a high-scoring encounter.

Estrela have lost 4-0 at Sporting and 3-1 at Porto in their last two away league games and another defeat could be on the cards at Famalicao. The hosts sit sixth in the Primeira Liga and they swatted aside Estoril 4-0 in their last outing at the Estadio Municipal de Famalicao.

Each of Nigeria’s last four games have seen both teams score, including their 2-1 victory over Tanzania in their tournament opener. They meet a Tunisia side who beate Uganda 3-1, with the Tunisians conceding in six of their last seven.

Estoril’s only defeat in their last six Primeira Liga home games came against second-placed Sporting, so they should be trusted to get the job done against Alverca. The visitors have won only two of their last nine matches on the road and should be vulnerable.

No team in the Premier League has drawn more games than Bournemouth’s seven this season and they could be forced to settle for another stalemate when they visit Brentford, who have only lost one of their eight home games this season.

Four of the last six head-to-heads between these two have ended in stalemate and after two impressive performances to start the group stages from two of the biggest teams in the tournament, this could be the same.

Burnley have lost seven of their last eight games and have some of the worst underlying data in the Premier League. They look unlikely to get anything out of an Everton team who have been solid this term and should be too strong.

Inverness have won five of their eight away trips to top the Scottish third tier, while they’ve won three of four visits to the bottom four including a 2-0 success at Montrose. The hosts have lost to nil in both meets with Inverness this season and they’ve lost five of nine home outings.

Rangers have won three of their last four Premiership home games and lost just once in their last ten at Ibrox. They have scored in 11 of their last 12 league matches. Motherwell have just one win from seven games when priced as underdogs this season.

West Ham find themselves five points from safety and that is unlikely to improve on Saturday. Fulham beat in-form Nottingham Forest on Monday to make it five wins in eight Premier League games and they look far too strong for a Hammers side who have conceded 35 league goals and lost six of their last eight home matches.

Over half of Gent’s home games have featured three or more goals, while the hosts have conceded twice in three of their last four league starts. Westerlo have a poor away record, but they’ve still scored 14 times in nine trips, while conceding over two goals per game.

Pisa have failed to score in seven of their first eight home games this term, while Juventus have won six of their last seven matches in all competitions. Juve have the second-lowest xG against in Serie A and their improved form under Spalletti should see them ease to victory over the second-bottom hosts.

Each of Nigeria’s last four games have seen both teams score, including their 2-1 victory over Tanzania in their tournament opener. They meet a Tunisia side who beate Uganda 3-1, with the Tunisians conceding in six of their last seven.

Estoril’s only defeat in their last six Primeira Liga home games came against second-placed Sporting, so they should be trusted to get the job done against Alverca. The visitors have won only two of their last nine matches on the road and should be vulnerable.

Ian: Hearts made it four wins from four Scottish Premiership matches against the Old Firm when they beat Rangers 2-1 at Tynecastle on Sunday and the leaders look unlikely to slow down when they head across Edinburgh to take on Hibernian.

Aaron A: Torino have battled their way to successive 1-0 victories over Cremonese and Sassuolo in Serie A and they can make it three wins on the spin when they welcome Cagliari to the Stadio Olimpico di Torino.

Tom: Hugo Ekitike has 11 goals to his name this season and five of those have come in his last four outings. The Frenchman has registered the most shots in Liverpool’s squad this season and against the worst team in the league, he should be able to add at least one goal to his tally for the campaign.

James: Motherwell have gone 10 games without defeat in the league, winning six and drawing four, while they have tasted success twice and shared the spoils three times across their last five away fixtures.

Gareth: Lazio have lost four of their eight Serie A trips and have only scored four goals across those games. Udinese have a mixed home record but have won three of their last five games at this venue, including wins over Napoli and Atalanta, and as big price underdogs they look worth the risk against this inconsistent Lazio outfit.

Aaron R: Pisa have lost three of their last four league games to nil, while they’ve failed to score in home defeats by Roma, Inter Milan, Udinese, and Parma this season. Back the Old Lady to join that list at odds-against, with the visitors conceding the second-fewest Expected Goals in Italy’s top-flight.

Manchester City have put together a seven-game winning run across all competitions and they’ve won their last three Premier League games by three-goal margins. Forest’s form has dipped with three defeats in their last five league games, so City should be able to cover a -1 handicap at the City Ground.

Burnley have lost seven of their last eight games and have some of the worst underlying data in the Premier League. They look unlikely to get anything out of an Everton team who have been solid this term and should be too strong.

Wolves have taken only two points from their 17 Premier League outings and look destined for relegation. The visitors have lost 11 on the spin and they have scored just twice in their last eight outings. Liverpool are chasing a fourth straight victory and can do so to nil.

West Ham find themselves five points from safety and that is unlikely to improve on Saturday. Fulham beat in-form Nottingham Forest on Monday to make it five wins in eight Premier League games and they look far too strong for a Hammers side who have conceded 35 league goals and lost six of their last eight home matches.

Aston Villa have won seven straight Premier League matches but they are not relying on their defensive discipline to grind out results as they have conceded in seven of their last eight victories and both teams have scored in six of their last seven on the road.

Sunderland are the only Premier League side other than Arsenal not yet to taste a home defeat, having won five and drawn three of their eight matches on Wearside. The Black Cats could build on that against Leeds, who have suffered defeat in six of their eight away league games.

Both Crystal Palace and Tottenham are struggling as of late and this could be an end-to-end affair. Eight of Tottenham’s last nine games have gone over 2.5 goals and the same is fancied in a game in which both teams could score too.

Manchester City have put together a seven-game winning run across all competitions and they’ve won their last three Premier League games by three-goal margins. Forest’s form has dipped with three defeats in their last five league games, so City should be able to cover a -1 handicap at the City Ground.

Venezia are third in Serie B, and they’ve had little trouble at home to the league’s bottom sides. They’ve hosted five of the bottom seven, winning every game and scoring 13 times. Entella are sixth-bottom, having lost six of their first eight trips, including four defeats by a two-goal margin or greater.

Arsenal beat Brighton 2-0 in the EFL Cup at the end of October, while the visitors are winless in four matches and have scored just one goal across their last three games, and they have failed to score in three of their last five match-ups with the league leaders.

Ross County have lost four straight games, conceding 13 times in that stretch. They’re bottom of the table with seven defeats in 10 home games, while leaders St Johnstone have won 5-0 and 4-2 in their previous two matches.
