Football Accumulator Tips

Aston Villa are just four points off the Premier League top spot and have won 12 of their last 13 home games. They face a Brentford side that excel at home, but the Bees have the 16th-best Premier League away record and have lost eight of their 11 trips.

Atalanta are in strong all-round form and look well placed to pick up another away win at Como. Gian Piero Gasperini’s side come into this off the back of a dominant 4-0 win over Parma and have now scored in ten of their last 11 Serie A matches. They have also tightened up defensively, keeping five clean sheets in their last seven league games. Add in six wins from their last eight away trips, and Atalanta look the more reliable option.

Celtic matches at Parkhead have been delivering goals, and this looks another strong candidate. Over 3.5 goals has landed in six of Celtic’s 11 home games in the Scottish Premiership this season, while five of their last seven league matches overall have featured at least four goals. Celtic’s recent 2-2 draw with Hearts continued that trend, and with Falkirk also in decent form, this has the feel of an open, attacking contest.

Toulouse are well placed to extend Auxerre’s miserable run, with the hosts nine places and 17 points better off in Ligue 1. They have won four of their last five league games and are carrying an attacking threat, scoring at least twice in four of their last six matches. Auxerre are winless in nine away games and have lost eight of their last ten on the road.

Go Ahead Eagles have seen both teams score in seven of their last eight games, and they head into this clash having scored in all but two of their trips. Volendam have conceded 35 goals in 20 matches, but they’ve only failed to score once at home.

Sociedad have hit some form with three successive La Liga wins, while they are on a seven-game unbeaten run across all competitions. La Real are facing a Bilbao side who were dumped out of the Champions League on Wednesday and have managed just one win in normal time in their last 11 across all competitions, so the visitors look capable of securing maximum points in the Basque derby.

Real Madrid games at the Bernabeu often deliver entertainment, and this matchup sets up well for goals. Carlo Ancelotti’s side have scored in eight of their last nine league games and have won their last three La Liga home matches. Rayo Vallecano arrive out of form, with just one win in ten league games and four defeats in their last five away. Four of Rayo’s 11 away matches have produced four or more goals, which strengthens the case for over 3.5.

PSV top the Eredivisie with 17 wins from 20 games and have won five of their last six home league matches. They’ve scored a league-high 61 goals, averaging close to four per game against top-half sides. Feyenoord have failed to keep a clean sheet in 13 of their last 15 matches.

Aston Villa are just four points off the Premier League top spot and have won 12 of their last 13 home games. They face a Brentford side that excel at home, but the Bees have the 16th-best Premier League away record and have lost eight of their 11 trips.

Lyon have won eight of their last ten Ligue 1 home games and come into this match on a run of three straight home victories. They sit one place above Lille with four more points and have won 11 of 19 league games. Lille arrive on a three-match losing run and have conceded 17 away goals.

James: Villa have won 12 of their last 13 at Villa Park in all competitions, and they should be too strong for Brentford, who have picked up just nine points on their travels.

Jack: Endrick scored a hat-trick in last Sunday’s 5-2 win at Metz to take his tally to four goals in three appearances. The visitors aren’t in great form and the talented Brazilian can capitalise. 

Alex: Auxerre have the worst away record in the top flight. They have earned only two points from a possible 27 on the road. Toulouse have won four of their last five league fixtures and look good value to take the spoils on Sunday.

Enda: Under-fire boss Thomas Frank has overseen just two home league wins in 11 attempts. City should likely prove too strong and pick up their third straight win at this ground. However, Spurs have found the net in 10 straight home games in all competitions while both teams have scored in nine of Tottenham’s last 13 Premier League assignments.

Gareth: Sociedad are unbeaten in five and have won their last three, while Bilbao are going through a miserable spell of just one win in their last 11 across all competitions.

Aston Villa are just four points off the Premier League top spot and have won 12 of their last 13 home games. They face a Brentford side that excel at home, but the Bees have the 16th-best Premier League away record and have lost eight of their 11 trips.

Manchester United have looked a transformed side since Michael Carrick took the reins, picking up sensational wins over Manchester City and Arsenal. They have won three of their last four Premier League home meetings with Fulham, and the Cottagers have lost two of their last four away days.

Nottingham Forest have won their last two games by an aggregate scoreline of 6-0 and will be looking to build on this momentum against Crystal Palace, who are winless in 11 matches and have lost four of their last five away games.

Tottenham have won just one of their last ten home league games and City can build on victories over Wolves and Galatasaray to come out on top of a game that features two or more goals.

Juve are in fine form with eight wins in their last 11 games and they should be able to claim the spoils at Parma, who have lost three of their last five at home. Parma have the worst attack in the division and have failed to score in three successive games.

Strasbourg are on an eight-game unbeaten run across all competitions and they can extend that with at least a point against PSG. Le Racing held the Parisians to a 3-3 draw in the reverse fixture and could be facing the league leaders at the right time, as PSG have failed to win four of their last six games and had a midweek European fixture.

Sociedad have hit some form with three successive La Liga wins, while they are on a seven-game unbeaten run across all competitions. La Real are facing a Bilbao side who were dumped out of the Champions League on Wednesday and have managed just one win in normal time in their last 11 across all competitions, so the visitors look capable of securing maximum points in the Basque derby.

Tondela have lost six of their last seven league games, and they were beaten 3-0 in the first meeting between these two sides. Benfica’s midweek thriller followed a run of scoring nine times in their last three league games, so back a few goals in this contest.
