Football Accumulator Tips

Arsenal have won their last seven home games and four of those wins have come by two or more goals. Bournemouth are unbeaten since the reverse fixture back in January but goals have been an issue for the visitors and they’ve failed to score in back-to-back trips. Arsenal are unlikely to blow the Cherries away but if they are able to keep a clean sheet they should be able to cover a -1 handicap.

Everton are in form with three wins in their last four games and four victories in their last six away from home. The visitors are backable underdogs to see off Brentford, who are on a four-game winless run at home (D2, L2).

Burnley have won just twice at Turf Moor in this season’s Premier League and they look unlikely to avoid defeat against Brighton, who have claimed a full return from their last two trips to Sunderland and Brentford.

Fulham have only lost one of the last five meetings between these two teams and they could at least avoid defeat against a Liverpool side whose confidence will be rock bottom after losing five of their last eight games. They may have one eye on the second leg of their Champions League quarter-final against PSG and could fail to win again.

Burnley have won just twice at Turf Moor in this season’s Premier League and they look unlikely to avoid defeat against Brighton, who have claimed a full return from their last two trips to Sunderland and Brentford.

Burton have been doing just enough to stay out of the relegation zone and they can take a big step towards survival by defeating AFC Wimbledon at the Pirelli Stadium. The Brewers have won eight home league games and should prevail over Wimbledon, who are likely to be missing several injured players.

Salford are sixth, 24 points above Gillingham, with 23 wins compared to the visitors’ 12. They have won their last five home games and six of their last eight overall. Gillingham are out of form, with one win in eight and five defeats in their last seven away matches.

Southampton look set to beat Derby at St. Mary’s Stadium on Saturday. The visitors have lost four of their last five away games in the Championship, and Southampton are in good form.

Both teams have scored in eight of Atalanta’s last 10 games and also in six of Juventus’ last 10 games. And with so much riding on the result, neither team is likely to sit back.

Both teams have scored with over 2.5 goals in Sevilla’s last two games against top-five clubs and also in five of Atletico Madrid’s last seven matches. Sevilla should see this as a chance to take points against a weakened Atleti side but their defensive issues could also betray them.

Rennes have won five of their last seven league games while Angers have taken just one point from their last three matches. Rennes have covered a -1 handicap in three of their last seven games.

Sporting may have one eye on Wednesday’s Champions League second leg trip to Arsenal, which could allow Estrela to get on the scoresheet. Sporting have conceded in their last three league games, but they’ve got a 100% record in meetings with teams outside the top six this season.

Charlotte have the best home record in the Eastern Conference, picking up three wins from four. They’ve beaten NY Red Bulls 6-1 and Philadelphia Union 2-1 across their last two matches, while Nashville have failed to score in consecutive outings.

Inter Miami have been a touch disappointing this season, with their leaky defence an issue. However, they should be too strong for a New York Red Bulls team who lost their last away game 6-1. Inter Miami’s last 11 MLS home games have all gone over 3.5 goals, and the same looks likely as they chase a first win in their new surroundings.

Vancouver Whitecaps are fancied to win a game in which both teams score. New York City should be able to put up a challenge and have scored 14 goals in six games, but may struggle to pin back a side that have won five of their six league games and netted 17 times.

The San Jose Earthquakes are in form and look set to continue their good run away at Kansas City. They have won five of their six league games and should overcome a Sporting Kansas City side who have lost three of their last four.

Enda McElhinney: Though the Blues have lost just three at St Andrew’s all season (W9, D8), a run of six losses in the last eight suggests Chris Davies’ side are running out of steam.

Aaron Rogan: NEC Nijmegen have the chance to leapfrog second-placed Feyenoord on Sunday, and the hosts head into this clash after winning three of their last four Eredivisie matches. The visitors are winless against the Eredivisie’s top six this season, including defeats at PSV, Twente, and Ajax. Robin van Persie’s side are under huge pressure after winning only one of their last five league games, and NEC Nijmegen are well-placed to capitalise.

Joe Casey: Newcastle may have suffered a brutal defeat to rivals Sunderland last time out but they should be fresh after three weeks off. The Magpies have won the last two meetings between this pair by an aggregate score of 7-0 and they are facing an Eagles side who have won just three times at Selhurst Park in the league all season.

James Mason: Spurs have failed to win their last six away games in the Premier League, collecting just three points during this period. The Black Cats completed the league double over fierce rivals Newcastle before the international break, making it two wins from their last three top-flight assignments, and just three home defeats this season is evidence of how strong Regis Le Bris’s men have been on Wearside.

Alex Jack: Both teams come into this game in good form but Luton’s is slightly better, with just one defeat in their last 11 matches in all competitions. Knowing they can overwhelm County if they get it right on the day, Luton are good value to triumph in the battle of the Hatters at Wembley.

Jamie Griffith: Both Chelsea and Manchester City made the FA Cup semi-finals in emphatic fashion last weekend. However, there was a lot more to like about City’s 4-0 demolition of Liverpool. The Blues were thrashed 3-0 by Everton in their last league outing and are still a fair way off the level of City.

Consistency has been Torino’s biggest adversary this season but they have finally found some rhythm at home, where they have won three of their last four games. Another Turin triumph is on the cards against second-bottom Verona, who have lost their last three games without scoring.

Borussia Dortmund are second, 15 points above sixth-placed Leverkusen, with 19 wins compared to 14. They have won nine of their last 11 home games and scored heavily, averaging 2.40 goals against top-half sides at home. Leverkusen have defensive issues, failing to keep a clean sheet in eight of their last ten matches.

Aberdeen are in dire form with no wins across their last nine league games, and they’ve suffered 12 defeats from their 14 clashes with sides placed fifth or higher, including home and away losses to Hibs.

Everton are in form with three wins in their last four games and four victories in their last six away from home. The visitors are backable underdogs to see off Brentford, who are on a four-game winless run at home (D2, L2).

Burton have been doing just enough to stay out of the relegation zone and they can take a big step towards survival by defeating AFC Wimbledon at the Pirelli Stadium. The Brewers have won eight home league games and should prevail over Wimbledon, who are likely to be missing several injured players.

Cambridge United are unbeaten in their last 16 home league games and boast the best defensive record in League Two, conceding just 31 goals in 41 matches. Notts County have failed to keep a clean sheet in seven of their last nine games, while 58% of top-six clashes have been home wins.

Middlesbrough should be backed to get a home win over Portsmouth on Saturday. The visitors are out of form, with Portsmouth now without a win in eight Championship games. They have not tasted victory in any of their last four away matches.

Relegation is looming for AVS in the Primeira Liga, and their misery should be extended by Vitoria Guimaraes. The hosts have failed to score in five of their last six home league games and look unlikely to offer much resistance.

Utrecht’s seven-match unbeaten run in the Dutch top flight was ended by a late winner by PSV last time out, but they should be confident they can bounce back against Telstar, who have lost seven of 14 away trips this season.

Rennes have won five of their last seven league games while Angers have taken just one point from their last three matches. Rennes should improve defensively with the return of right-back Przemyslaw Frankowski and centre-back Anthony Rouault from suspension this week. They have kept four clean sheets in their last five games with this duo and can shut out a weak Angers attack that has scored once across the last three games.

Aberdeen are in dire form with no wins across their last nine league games, and they’ve suffered 12 defeats from their 14 clashes with sides placed fifth or higher, including home and away losses to Hibs.

Barnet have created the second-highest Expected Goals in League Two this term, and they’re fresh from a 5-2 victory at Fleetwood. Over 2.5 goals has landed in three of the hosts’ last four, and they’re capable of impressing against second-bottom Barrow, who have lost 5-0 at Grimsby and 3-1 at Salford in the last month.

Everton are in form with three wins in their last four games and four victories in their last six away from home. The visitors are backable underdogs to see off Brentford, who are on a four-game winless run at home (D2, L2).

Celtic need to keep the pressure up on Rangers and Hearts while St Mirren are riding high after back-to-back wins in the relegation battle. Both teams have scored in four of Celtic’s last five games, and they’ve conceded in each of their last five victories.

Reading have struggled for consistency in recent weeks but they can revive their playoff push by defeating Doncaster at the Eco-Power Stadium. The Royals lost 2-1 at home to Lincoln on Monday, but they face a step down in class against 17th-placed Rovers, who have suffered successive defeats.

Harrogate have shown improvement in recent months and they can register a vital victory over fellow strugglers Newport at Rodney Parade. Simon Weaver’s side triumphed 3-1 at Grimsby last Friday and are ready to prevail over Newport, who have suffered back-to-back defeats.

Oldham are ninth, 21 points above Shrewsbury, and have won 17 games compared to the hosts’ 12. They have won four of their last six away matches and scored in 12 of their last 13 games. Shrewsbury are struggling, losing six of their last eight and three of their last four at home.

Stoke have enjoyed two straight Championship successes at home and they should be backed to beat Blackburn on Saturday.

Fulham have only lost one of the last five meetings between these two teams and they could at least avoid defeat against a Liverpool side whose confidence will be rock bottom after losing five of their last eight games. They may have one eye on the second leg of their Champions League quarter-final against PSG and could fail to win again.

No team has scored in more of their Eredivisie games than PSV this season, and there have been four or more goals in 16 of their 29 league matches, including their 4-3 victory over Utrecht last time out. Sparta have seen 18 goals scored in four home clashes with the top five, while they lost the reverse fixture 6-1.

Both teams have scored with over 2.5 goals in Sevilla’s last two games against top-five clubs and also in five of Atletico Madrid’s last seven matches. Sevilla should see this as a chance to take points against a weakened Atleti side but their defensive issues could also betray them.
