Football Accumulator Tips

Barcelona trail by two goals from the first leg and they should be able to win on the night at least. Barca have three wins in five meetings with Atletico Madrid this season and 10 victories in their last 12 games. The visitors have won at this venue in La Liga this season and Atleti know a narrow defeat would still be enough to progress so expect them to defend in numbers without taking too many risks, so Barca should be able to pick up a win even if they fail to progress.

PSG won the first leg 2-0 and could have won by a bigger margin. The French side are unbeaten against Premier League opposition this season with four wins and two draws in six games, and their performance in the first leg suggests they can claim a win at Anfield as they did last season on their way to picking up the Champions League title.

Arsenal struggled to contain Sporting last week, with the Portuguese side having five shots on target in their 1-0 defeat. The Gunners have conceded in three of their last four, and they meet a Sporting side that has scored in visits to Napoli, Juventus, and Bayern in Europe this season.

Bayern Munich have won 18 of their 20 home games this season and hold a first-leg lead, but they have conceded in eight of their last ten and face a Real Madrid side that have scored in their last eight but are winless in three.

Wimbledon have hit an alarming run of form, taking just one point from the last 21 available thanks to an injury crisis. They’ve fallen just three points clear of the drop zone, while they’ve lost to nil in four straight games, including a 3-0 defeat at Stockport. The visitors have won six of their seven clashes with the bottom five this term, and they can claim maximum points despite losing at Wembley on Sunday.

Both teams have scored in seven of Luton’s last eight home league games. The Cobblers have scored in three of their last four defeats, and they meet a Luton side has managed one clean sheet in their last 15 games across all competitions so goals at both ends appeals.

Arsenal have won 10 of their 11 games in Europe this season, and they can bounce back against a Sporting side that lost to Napoli, Bayern Munich, and Bodo Glimt on the road.

Bayern Munich have lost just one home game all season and have only failed to win at the Allianz Arena twice, and they are justified favourites against a visiting side that head to Munich winless in three.

Wimbledon have hit an alarming run of form, taking just one point from the last 21 available thanks to an injury crisis. They’ve fallen just three points clear of the drop zone, while they’ve lost to nil in four straight games, including a 3-0 defeat at Stockport. The visitors have won six of their seven clashes with the bottom five this term, and they can claim maximum points despite losing at Wembley on Sunday. The Dons are without a goal in four matches, and Stockport have kept clean sheets at Rotherham, Northampton, and Port Vale this term, while they were 3-0 winners against Wimbledon at the end of March. County look capable of winning with room to spare. 

Luton have won five of their last six games. Northampton have suffered six straight defeats, while they’ve lost 14 of 21 away trips. Both teams have scored in seven of Luton’s last eight home league games. The Cobblers have scored in three of their last four defeats, and they meet a Luton side has managed one clean sheet in their last 15 games across all competitions so goals at both ends appeals.

Port Vale head into this game just 48 hours after their draw with Barnsley and the relegation-threatened visitors have conceded 15 goals in their last four away games. They have conceded three or more goals in three of these trips, while Peterborough have scored three or more in three of their last four at home, totalling 15 goals in this run.

Villa have scored in six consecutive home games  and have conceded in four of those. Bologna have to go for it as they chase a two-goal deficit and they do have a good scoring record on their travels, having gone 19 trips without drawing a blank. The visitors will leave space to exploit as they commit men forward and there is a strong chance we’ll see goals at both ends at Villa Park, with the hosts expected to come out on top after beating Bologna three times over the last two seasons.

Bromley remain top of the League Two table heading into the business end of the season, and they have taken 13 points from the last 15 available at home. They are yet to lose a home game in the league, while Cambridge United have failed to win their last four on the road.

Freiburg have won four of their last five games and with Celta Vigo having to go for it at some point, the visitors could benefit. They look overpriced to follow up their 3-0 win in the first leg with another success.

Strasbourg need to go on the offensive to overturn the first-leg deficit and played well in defeat last week. They should be able to get the win on the night, but they have conceded in four of their last five home games and red-hot Mainz are bound to get plenty of opportunities to get on the scoresheet.

Cruzeiro opened their Copa Libertadores campaign with a win last week and are unbeaten in their last eight home games. Universidad Catolica lost to Boca Juniors last week and have lost two of their last four away games.

Fluminense were held to a draw at La Guaria last week and are winless in their last three games, while Independiente Rivadavia won their opener in the Copa Libertadores and have now won five on the spin.

Universidad Central’s last three games have produced 15 goals in total and each of their last seven away games have featured at least three goals. Independiente del Valle have seen over 2.5 goals land in three of their last four at home.

Real Betis have drawn six of their last ten games and there was very little to split these two teams in the first game so it may be worth backing Braga to avoid defeat in Spain.

Villa have scored in six consecutive home games  and have conceded in four of those. Bologna have to go for it as they chase a two-goal deficit and they do have a good scoring record on their travels, having gone 19 trips without drawing a blank. The visitors will leave space to exploit as they commit men forward and there is a strong chance we’ll see goals at both ends at Villa Park.

Freiburg have won four of their last five games and with Celta Vigo having to go for it at some point, the visitors could benefit. They look overpriced to follow up their 3-0 win in the first leg with another success.

Porto are unbeaten in eight games and were unfortunate not to win the first leg. They face a Nottingham Forest side that have only won two of their last ten fixtures.

Bromley remain top of the League Two table heading into the business end of the season, and they have taken 13 points from the last 15 available at home. They are yet to lose a home game in the league, while Cambridge United have failed to win their last four on the road.

They have conceded three or more goals in three of these trips, while Peterborough have scored three or more in three of their last four at home, totalling 15 goals in this run.

These sides have met three times over the last two seasons and Villa lead the head-to-head 3-0, by an aggregate score of 6-1. A Bologna goal is expected but Villa can still win comfortably and after a 3-1 win in Italy last week they can finish the job on Thursday.

Strasbourg need to overcome two goal deficit if they are to have any chance of progressing. They played well in defeat during the first leg, having 66% possession and generating an xg of over one. With home advantage they are very likely to win this match, even if they do not qualify for the semi final.

Villa have scored in six consecutive home games  and have conceded in four of those. Bologna have to go for it as they chase a two-goal deficit and they do have a good scoring record on their travels, having gone 19 trips without drawing a blank. The visitors will leave space to exploit as they commit men forward and there is a strong chance we’ll see goals at both ends at Villa Park.

Fiorentina will need to come out on the front foot as they chase a 3-0 deficit, and they have scored in 11 of their last 13 home matches. They face a Crystal Palace side that have seen goals at both ends in seven of their last eight away from home.

Porto are unbeaten in eight games and were unfortunate not to win the first leg. They face a Nottingham Forest side that have only won two of their last ten fixtures.

Ipswich are vying for automatic promotion from the Championship and look good value for another three points against Portsmouth, who have taken only one point from their last five home games. The Tractor Boys are on a nine-game unbeaten run and have won three of their last four away days.

A first-half red card paved the way for a smash-and-grab victory for Atletico Madrid last week, but they have lost four of their last five games and their luck may run out on Tuesday. Barcelona arguably deserved to win the first leg and have five wins from their last six games.

One point from the last 21 available have sent Wimbledon plummeting towards the relegation battle and their misery looks set to compound against promotion-chasing Stockport on Wednesday, who have won three and drawn two of their last five.

Real Betis and Braga proved a match for one another as they played out a 1-1 draw last week, and a similar outcome can be expected back in Spain. Betis have only won one of their last ten games and Braga have avoided defeat in 12 of their last 15 fixtures.

Le Mans are vying for Ligue 2 promotion and head into Friday’s tie unbeaten in seven. They haven’t lost at home since September and face a Clermont outfit that have lost five of their last seven on the road.

Lens’ Ligue 1 title charge has taken a hit after two defeats from their last three games, but they should get back on track against a Toulouse side that have lost four of their last five away games. Les Sang et Or have won all but two of their home games this season and should clinch the points on Friday.

Hoffenheim have only taken two points from the last 12 available and could be the latest to fall victim to Borussia Dortmund. Die Borussen have won four of their last five games and have only dropped two points from their last five Bundesliga trips.

Lille beat title-challengers Lens 3-0 at the weekend to make it three wins from their last four games and, with Champions League qualification at stake, they look a good bet to beat a Nice side that have lost four of their last five league fixtures.

Cremonese are sinking towards the Serie A relegation zone after losing nine of their last 11, and Torino could be the latest side to inflict defeat on La Cremo. The visitors have taken maximum points from three of their last four games and beat Pisa in their last away fixture.

Everton are unbeaten in the last three Merseyside derbies in front of their own fans and they can extend that streak in the first all-Liverpool clash at the Hill Dickinson Stadium. They have only lost one of their last five and favourites Liverpool face a tough midweek clash with PSG.
