Football Accumulator Tips

Both teams have scored in five of Central Coast Mariners’ last six A-League assignments and in six of their last seven home meetings with Perth Glory. The visitors have seen goals at both ends in six of their last eight fixtures.

Western Sydney Wanderers are bottom of the A-League and have the worst away record in the division. They have scored in seven successive away games, though, and may get on the scoresheet against a Melbourne City side that have won two of their last four at home in the league but have only kept one clean sheet in this run.

Real Madrid look the best bet away at Mallorca. The hosts are down in 18th and have been leaking goals for months, going 14 straight league games without a clean sheet and eight home matches without one. Real are second, in strong form and have won 12 of their last 15 league games, so they should have too much quality and firepower.

PSV are once again leading the way in the Eredivisie, but they have lost three of their last four games and face an Utrecht side in tremendous form, with the visitors unbeaten in their last seven and winning five of them.

Verona look destined for the drop and their Serie A troubles could be compounded by a resurgent Fiorentina side on Saturday. La Viola are only two points clear of the relegation zone, but they are unbeaten in their last five competitive games and have won four of their last five on the road. Verona, sitting nine points adrift of safety, have the league’s worst home record with seven points from a possible 42. They have taken one point from their last seven home matches and have won just one competitive home game in the last 13 months.

Telstar have won three and drawn one of their last four home games, including a stunning win over league-leaders PSV in their most recent home outing. They can add another three points to their tally against Groningen, who have taken only one point from their last four on the road.

Barcelona have won 24 of their 29 La Liga games and should get the points against Atletico Madrid, but the hosts have scored 13 goals in their last five games and should find the net in defeat.

NEC Nijmegen are enjoying a fantastic season and find themselves third in the Eredivisie. They have won three and drawn one of their last four, while the relegation-threatened Excelsior have taken one point from their last six games and are winless at home since December.

Arsenal suffered a miserable 2-0 loss to Manchester City in the EFL Cup final last time out and they may not have things all their own way again in-form Championship side Southampton on Saturday. The Saints are pushing hard for a playoff place in the second division and their unbeaten run stands at 14 matches in all competitions. The Gunners can edge through but the home side can get on the scoresheet.

Lens won the reverse Derby du Nord 3-0 and head into this tie having won seven of their last 11 away games. They head into gameweek 28 just a point shy of PSG at the top of the Ligue 1 table and Lille have lost five of their last nine at home.

Both of these teams have looked suspect defensively and over 2.5 goals with both teams scoring is the pick. The selection should have landed in both league meetings between the two, with Liverpool having a goal wrongfully ruled out in their 3-0 defeat at this ground last year.

Port Vale’s fairytale run in the FA Cup is likely to end at Stamford Bridge where Chelsea are expected to be too strong for League One’s bottom side. The Blues haven’t been in the best of form in the lead up to the recent international break, but their wealth of riches in the squad should ensure a comfortable home victory over their plucky visitors.

Arsenal suffered a miserable 2-0 loss to Manchester City in the EFL Cup final last time out and they may not have things all their own way again in-form Championship side Southampton on Saturday. The Saints are pushing hard for a playoff place in the second division and their unbeaten run stands at 14 matches in all competitions. The Gunners can edge through but the home side can get on the scoresheet.

Sassuolo look the best bet at home to Cagliari. The visitors are in a poor run, winless in seven league games and losing five of the last seven, including three straight defeats. Their away form is weak too and they keep conceding, with no clean sheet in seven of the last nine. Sassuolo have the home edge and should take advantage.

Hoffenheim are a strong bet to win at home to Mainz on Saturday. Christian Ilzer’s side have been prolific in front of goal on their own turf this season, scoring 28 times in 13 games – an average of 2.15 goals per game. They are fifth in the Bundesliga, six places and 20 points above Mainz, with 15 wins from their 27 games this season. The visitors are 11th with seven wins, nine draws and 11 defeats.

Real Madrid look the best bet away at Mallorca. The hosts are down in 18th and have been leaking goals for months, going 14 straight league games without a clean sheet and eight home matches without one. Real are second, in strong form and have won 12 of their last 15 league games, so they should have too much quality and firepower.

Strasbourg look the best bet at home to Nice. They are solid at the back at home, conceding just nine goals in 13, and arrive on a six-game unbeaten run. Nice are a mess away, losing seven of their last nine trips and conceding heavily, while also struggling for goals, failing to score in five of their last seven league games. With Nice also keeping very few clean sheets, Strasbourg should have enough to win.

Hamburg and Augsburg are both hoping for a top-half finish in the Bundesliga this season and there is little to choose between them – with just a point and two places separating the sides in the table going into the weekend action in Germany.Hamburg are 12th but can go above 10th-placed Augsburg with a home win and inflict a fourth-straight loss on the visitors in the process.Those recent defeats to RB Leipzig, Borussia Dortmund and Stuttgart highlight Augsburg’s current problems with the 5-2 home setback against Stuttgart before the international break particularly poor as they found themselves 3-0 down at the break.Hamburg raced into a 2-0 lead at Dortmund in their most recent game but ended up conceding three times in the final 20 minutes to lose.They can respond on Saturday, though, when facing opponents who have only won three times away in the Bundesliga all season.

Mainz have suffered two defeats in their last 14 Bundesliga matches and they look to have been unfairly dismissed for their trip to Hoffenheim.The visitors have shown some decent road form, scoring in six of their last seven away league games, which included a 2-1 win at RB Leipzig and a 2-2 draw at Bayern Munich, when they were pegged back by a late Harry Kane penalty.They should be encouraged by victories over Werder Bremen and Eintracht Frankfurt before the international break and while Hoffenheim are fifth in the table, a home win is far from guaranteed.The hosts have lost to St Pauli and drawn with Wolfsburg in their last two home games and were thumped 5-0 in Leipzig last time out.

Verona look destined for the drop and their Serie A troubles could be compounded by a resurgent Fiorentina side on Saturday. La Viola are only two points clear of the relegation zone, but they are unbeaten in their last five competitive games and have won four of their last five on the road. Verona, sitting nine points adrift of safety, have the league’s worst home record with seven points from a possible 42. They have taken one point from their last seven home matches and have won just one competitive home game in the last 13 months.

Cultural Leonesa saw their winless streak reach 16 games as they were held to a 1-1 draw at Huesca in midweek but they did dominate that game for large periods, suggesting that La Liga 2’s rock bottom club aren’t willing to go down without a fight.In truth, La Cultu look destined for the drop but they can at least grab a goal on Saturday against Valladolid to give the home fans something to cheer about.Both teams have scored in each of Valladolid’s last five away games and they have just one clean sheet in their last 10 trips. The hosts have the worst defence in the division with 55 goals conceded and Valladolid have shipped 27 goals across 16 trips. Both defences look incredibly suspect so 5/6 on both teams scoring looks decent value here.

Espanyol are winless in 12, and they make the trip to Real Betis having seen both teams score in their previous nine league games. The visitors have already suffered defeats in all three of their visits to the top five, while they were beaten 2-1 by fifth-placed Betis in the reverse meeting.Betis have picked up seven home wins this term as they push for a return to the Champions League. They’ve hit a rough run of form, but their underlying numbers remain encouraging. However, BTTS has landed in five of six matches for Betis, and in each of their last four at home.

Barcelona will be out for revenge after they were beaten 4-0 by Atletico Madrid in the first leg of the Copa del Rey semi-final recently. Barca did bounce back to win the second game 3-0 but that wasn’t enough, although it does set the precedent for what should be another entertaining affair when these two face off.Hansi Flick’s men have scored 78 goals in their 29 league games and recently put seven past Newcastle. Meanwhile Atletico are no slouches of their own going forwards, seven of their last ten games have gone over 3.5 goals and they were part of a five-goal thriller against rivals Real Madrid last time out.Take over 3.5 goals in this La Liga clash which should set both teams up for their meeting in the Champions League next week.

PSV are once again leading the way in the Eredivisie, but they have lost three of their last four games and face an Utrecht side in tremendous form, with the visitors unbeaten in their last seven and winning five of them.

Telstar have won three and drawn one of their last four home games, including a stunning win over league-leaders PSV in their most recent home outing. They can add another three points to their tally against Groningen, who have taken only one point from their last four on the road.

Lens won the reverse Derby du Nord 3-0 and head into this tie having won seven of their last 11 away games. They head into gameweek 28 just a point shy of PSG at the top of the Ligue 1 table and Lille have lost five of their last nine at home.

Real Betis look the best bet at home to Espanyol. Betis are strong on their own turf, losing only one of their last nine league games, and they are unbeaten in six overall. Espanyol are in a long slump, winless in 12 and without an away win in six, and they keep conceding on their travels. With Espanyol also losing four of their last five away games, Betis should have enough.

Telstar have won three and drawn one of their last four home games, including a stunning win over league-leaders PSV in their most recent home outing. They can add another three points to their tally against Groningen, who have taken only one point from their last four on the road.

Lazio have won three on the spin and they should be able to get the better of a Parma side who have lost two on the bounce and have struggled badly in front of goal this season, take Lazio to make it four wins in a row.

NEC Nijmegen are enjoying a fantastic season and find themselves third in the Eredivisie. They have won three and drawn one of their last four, while the relegation-threatened Excelsior have taken one point from their last six games and are winless at home since December.

Woking fell to defeat at promotion hopefuls York City at the weekend, but they have won five of their last six at Kingfield Stadium and should coast to victory against an Altrincham side with nine defeats from their last 12 away fixtures.

Burgos are pushing for promotion to the Spanish top flight and hold the third-best home record in the division. They have taken 16 points from the last 18 available at Estadio El Plantion, and another three-point haul is on the cards against Ceuta, who have lost five of their last six trips.

Both teams to score has landed in eight of Bahia’s last nine home games and more goals should be on the cards when Athletico PR visit Salvador, with the visitors scoring in ten successive away games but only keeping three clean sheets in that run.

Barracas Central are worth taking at odds-against to beat Sarmiento Junin, who have lost all five away games in the Argentina Liga Profesional this year. The hosts have won their last three home games by an aggregate scoreline of 6-2 and can take the points on Thursday.

Millwall are closing the gap on the automatic promotion spots in the Championship and they can upset the odds to add to their points tally against second-placed Middlesbrough on Good Friday. Boro are winless in their last four home games and face a Lions outfit with 13 points from the last 15 available on their travels.

Norwich have won seven of their last eight Carrow Road assignments  and can keep their faint play-off ambitions alive against Portsmouth. The visitors have only taken one point from their last six games and were demolished 6-1 at QPR last time out.

Elche are the only La Liga side yet to win away from home in the league and the division’s worst travelling side could receive another blow in their battle against relegation. They have lost their last six away games on the spin and hosts Rayo Vallecano are unbeaten in their last four home league games.

Manchester City lifted the EFL Cup before the international break and should keep their FA Cup hopes alive against Liverpool. The Reds have lost three of their last four away games and were beaten 3-0 here in November, while Pep Guardiola’s side have won seven of their last nine at the Etihad.

Verona are nine points adrift from Serie A safety and their situation is unlikely to improve against a resurgent Fiorentina outfit. La Viola are unbeaten in five games and look set to inflict a sixth defeat in seven games on their struggling hosts.

Monaco are only three points adrift of Marseille going into gameweek 28 in the Ligue 1 season and they are chasing a seventh successive league win. They have beaten Lyon, Lens, and PSG in this time and Marseille, who have lost three of their last five away games, could be Les Monegasques’ next victims.
