Football Accumulator Tips

Sunday: Liverpool striker Hugo Ekitike is arguably the form forward in the Premier League at the moment. The Frenchman has bagged 16 goals this term, including three in his last two outings and he could steal the spotlight off City hotshot Erling Haaland.

Saturday: England are on a run of 11 straight wins, a streak that includes last March’s 68-14 triumph in Cardiff. Wales showed signs of attacking improvement in the autumn but looked poor in defence. The English are often slow starters, but they could begin their 2026 campaign with a statement victory.

Saturday: Nick Ball has a 23-0-1 record and 13 of his wins have come inside the distance, including two of his last three. If Ball can close the distance and deliver his trademark shots to the body, he can send out a message by becoming the first man to stop Brandon Figueroa.

New England have done incredibly well to turn their fortunes around in just one year, but their offence is simply not good enough to live with the Seattle defence. Seattle have done everything right for the last two months after reeling off nine consecutive wins and they should cover the spread in San Francisco.

Things have become a struggle for Brighton and Crystal Palace recently and neither can be trusted to come out on top in this ‘derby’ so the best bet may to back a draw in this clash. The Seagulls have drawn their last two home league matches 1-1, results which are part of a sequence that has seen them draw four of their last five home matches. Palace are winless in 12 outings in all competitions, so the likelihood is the Eagles would be delighted with a point.

Manchester City have failed to win in four of their last five away matches in all competitions and they may struggle to enhance that record against improving Liverpool. The Reds have had over a week off to prepare for this contest having hammered Newcastle 4-1 at Anfield last Saturday. Each of the last three meetings have seen a win to nil but this could be one occasion that both teams get on the scoresheet.

No team has lost more Serie A matches this season than Lecce’s 13 and the strugglers could be in for another difficult time when they host Udinese. The visitors come into this one having posted wins over Hellas Verona and Roma, and there looks a strong chance they can make it three in a row.

Nacional won the reverse fixture 2-0 earlier this term, and they have been in impressive scoring form at home. The hosts have beaten Rio Ave 4-0 and Tondela 3-1 across their last three home matches, also drawing 3-3 with Santa Clara in that run. They’ve struck 11 goals in four home meetings with the sides below them, so they’re well priced for a couple of strikes against the fourth-bottom visitors.

Unbeaten in five and following a recent Ligue 1 away win at Brest, Toulouse can collect another three points from Sunday’s trip to Angers, who sit four points below them.

Strasbourg have shown few signs of slowing down since Liam Rosenior’s departure and Gary O’Neil’s arrival, winning four of their five games since the former Wolves boss took over the Ligue 1 side. Le Havre are scrapping it out at the wrong end of the table and they have just one win from their last 11 games, they look set for another defeat on Sunday.

Malaga have only lost once at home in the league all season and they have won five of their seven games at this venue since that loss, while La Cultural are out of form with just two points to show from their last seven games. However, the visitors have a decent strike rate on their travels with 17 goals in 12 trips so they can at least record a consolation effort.

As the hunt for a new Real manager continues, on the pitch the Madrid giants have racked up six La Liga wins on the spin to leave them just a point behind Barcelona. Valencia have scored in each of their last 15 games in all competitions.

Udinese arrive in stronger form, having won their last two Serie A matches and their last two away games. They sit ninth in the table, eight places above Lecce, who are winless in eight matches and have lost six of their last eight overall. Lecce are also struggling badly in attack, failing to score in six of their last eight games.

Nice are unbeaten in five at home and have a solid recent record against Monaco with three wins and one draw in the last six meetings. Monaco have won just one of their last five games and are winless in three on their travels. The hosts can claim at least a point.

Cologne usually manage to get on the scoresheet at home, but their defensive record suggests they struggle to hold leads or protect tight games. Leipzig have seen both teams score in five of their last seven Bundesliga matches.

Depor have been struggling for results at home with just one point to show from their last four La Liga games at this venue, and just one win in six here across all competitions. Ablacete saw a six-game unbeaten run ended by Barcelona in the Copa del Rey last time out but their league form suggests they can claim at least a point at the Riazor.

Both teams have scored in each of Bilbao’s last seven games and they have gone 10 without a clean sheet across all comps. Levante have struggled in attack this season but have scored in four of their last six league games, only drawing blanks against the two Madrid clubs, so both teams should be able to find a way through here.

Goals at both ends looks the best angle here. Both teams have scored in seven of Ceuta’s last eight games and they are on a nine-game run without a clean sheet, while both teams have scored in three of Cordoba’s last four outings.

Depor have been struggling for results at home with just one point to show from their last four La Liga games at this venue, and just one win in six here across all competitions. Ablacete saw a six-game unbeaten run ended by Barcelona in the Copa del Rey last time out but their league form suggests they can claim at least a point at the Riazor.

These sides meet in La Liga just a few days after Atleti crushed Betis 5-0 in the Copa del Rey. The hosts may be able to back that up with another win but a repeat mauling is perhaps unlikely, although goals could be on the cards again. Over 2.5 goals has landed in four of Atleti’s home games across all competitions and Betis may be able to contribute as they have scored in four consecutive domestic road games, so these teams can combine for at least three goals.

Gijon are in mixed form with three wins and three defeats across their last six games, but home advantage should be key against a Huesca side who have eight defeats in  trips in this competition.

Juve’s usually watertight defence has shown signs of vulnerability in the last couple of games. The Old Lady conceded in victory against Parma – who have the worst attack in the division – last weekend before shipping three goals at Atalanta in the cup in midweek. Lazio have scored in three of their last four away games and in three of the last four head-to-head games, so backing both teams to score offers value in Turin.

The last Le Classique ended 2-2 after normal time in the Super Cup and another high-scoring affair could be on the cards on Sunday. Both of these teams score on average over two goals per-game, and both look capable of adding to the overall total.

Malaga have only lost once at home in the league all season and they have won five of their seven games at this venue since that loss, while La Cultural are out of form with just two points to show from their last seven games. Los Albicelestes should be able to boost their promotion push with three points at home on Sunday.

Valencia have lost all four matches against the top four this term, while they head into the game having suffered back-to-back defeats. Real Madrid have won four of their last five and can claim a win at the Mestalla.
