With Europe’s top divisions back after the international break, there are plenty of massive games from across the continent this weekend. I’ve picked through the games from Europe’s big five leagues to put together a massive 1400/1, weekend-long mega accumulator.

Big Five Mega Accumulator
Premier League
Newcastle United vs West Ham
12:30pm, Saturday 30th March
Newcastle United have won just one of their last six games and they could struggle against West Ham in Saturday’s early kick-off. The Hammers have a fine record at St James’ Park, avoiding defeat in four of their last five visits. They’ve also lost only one of their last six in all competitions, so back them to trouble the Toon.
Tip: West Ham double chance
Manchester City vs Arsenal
4:30pm, Sunday 31st March
Manchester City are facing an improved Arsenal side on Sunday but the Citizens should still prove too strong. The Gunners have lost 12 of their last 13 league meetings with City and they’ve suffered eight consecutive defeats at the Etihad. The hosts are peaking at the perfect time yet again and they should take the points.
Tip: Man City to win
Serie A
Napoli vs Atalanta
11:30am, Saturday 30th March
Champions Napoli have bounced back after a tough season, with Francesco Calzona getting them back into a European spot. He’s improved their results, but defensively the Partenopei continue to struggle.
Napoli have seen both teams score in each of their last eight games, failing to keep a clean sheet since late January. Atalanta have managed just one clean sheet in nine across all competitions, so back goals in the weekend’s opening offering.
Tip: Both teams to score
Fiorentina vs AC Milan
7:45pm, Saturday 30th March
Saturday’s Serie A action wraps with AC Milan’s trip to Fiorentina, with the Rossoneri hoping for a strong finish to the campaign. While the 14-point gap to Inter suggests their title hopes are over, the Rossoneri are out to wrap up second place while progressing in the Europa League.
Milan return to action aiming to extend a five-game winning run. They head to a Fiorentina side who have suffered four defeats in four clashes with the league’s top three, failing to score in each of those defeats.
Stefano Pioli’s side have one of the best away records in Serie A and they’ve won five of the last seven meetings between the two sides. Take them to extend their winning run with three points in Florence.
Tip: AC Milan to win
La Liga
Getafe vs Sevilla
1pm, Saturday 30th March
Sevilla begin the run-in in 16th place, with relegation still a concern for the Europa League holders. They were beaten 2-1 by Celta Vigo in their last game before the international break, while they’ve lost 13 of their 29 matches this term.
Sevilla’s season could get even worse, with a tricky visit to Getafe in prospect. The visitors have lost seven of their 10 visits to sides above them this season, while Getafe are comfortably in the top half of La Liga.
The home side have beaten each of the bottom four at home this term, while they ran out 3-0 winners when they travelled to Sevilla earlier this term. With the visitors struggling for form all season, Getafe are well-priced to secure the points on Saturday afternoon.
Tip: Getafe to win
Celta Vigo vs Rayo Vallecano
1pm, Sunday 31st March
Celta’s win over Sevilla came days after Rafa Benitez was sacked, with the former Liverpool and Newcastle boss leading them to a dismal campaign. Celta are 17th and the poor quality of the bottom three seems to have saved them more than anything Benitez did.
Claudio Giraldez has stepped in to take charge of things for Celta through the run-in and he can guide them to another victory this weekend. They host 15th-placed Rayo Vallecano on Sunday and Celta can leapfrog their opponents with a win.
Rayo have lost each of their last four away trips and they’ve been beaten in four of their previous five visits to this ground.
Tip: Celta to win
Bundesliga
Eintracht Frankfurt vs Union Berlin
2:30pm, Saturday 30th March
Union Berlin have pulled away from the Bundesliga’s relegation zone, but they’re still a long way from the heights of last season. After securing a top four finish last term, they’re stuck in the bottom half of the Bundesliga and they’ve been routinely beaten by the league’s top teams.
Union have lost all nine of their meetings with the top six teams in the Bundesliga, including five defeats on the road. They’ve conceded 13 goals and scored only two in those trips, so Frankfurt look tempting at a shade below evens.
The home side are unbeaten in six home league games, a run which started with a 5-1 victory over Bayern Munich. With their hopes of silverware in Europe and in the German Cup dashed, Frankfurt are out to wrap up a top six finish. Back them to get another three points on the board on Saturday.
Tip: Frankfurt to win
Bayern Munich vs Borussia Dortmund
5:30pm, Saturday 30th March
The highlight of the Bundesliga weekend comes in Munich, where Bayern host Borussia Dortmund with their title hopes fading fast. The Bavarians are 10 points shy of Bayer Leverkusen with only eight games left to play.
Bayern have strung together three solid wins to lift some of the negativity around the club. They dispatched Dortmund with a 4-0 win in the away fixture and the fourth-placed visitors don’t look up to the task of halting Bayern’s return to form.
Eight of the last nine meetings between these two German giants have seen both teams score, so back goals and another Bayern win in Saturday’s Der Klassiker clash.
Tip: Bayern to win & BTTS
Ligue 1
Lyon vs Reims
8pm, Saturday 30th March
Lyon have kicked into form in 2024 and their rise has seen them close in on a place in the top-half of Ligue 1. They meet a sliding Reims side this weekend, with the visitors dropping down the table after winning only two of their last eight league games.
Reims make this trip having seen both teams score in four of their last five games and they can add to an entertaining clash. The visitors have managed only one clean sheet on their travels this season, which came at third-bottom Nantes.
Lyon have won six of their last seven league games but they’ve conceded 22 times in just 13 home matches, so more goals are on the cards.
Tip: Over 2.5 goals
Marseille vs PSG
7:45pm, Sunday 31st March
The Ligue 1 weekend wraps up with PSG visiting bitter rivals Marseille. The champions are 12 points clear at the top and set to retain their title, but they put their unbeaten away record on the line at the Velodrome.
Marseille have yet to lose at home across all competitions this season, winning each of their last four home matches.
PSG are likely to focus on the French Cup and Champions League in the run-in, with the title all but wrapped up. Luis Enrique has already made comments about looking beyond Kylian Mbappe, who has been in and out of the team since reports broke that he had agreed a move to Real Madrid.
This seems like a perfect chance for Marseille to get one over their rivals and with a brilliant home record behind them, take the hosts on the draw no bet market.
Tip: Marseille draw no bet
