Brentford vs Nott’m Forest – Brentford to win

Brentford have the best home record in the Premier League with seven wins and one draw from eight, while Nottingham Forest have lost two of their last four away games and are winless in the previous six meetings against the hosts.

 

Ipswich vs Newcastle – Newcastle to win

Newcastle have lost only one of their last five games, winning two and drawing 3-3 with Liverpool. Ipswich Town, though, are still winless on home soil in the Premier League and have lost three of their last four at Portman Road.

 

Burnley v Watford – Burnley to win

Burnley are unbeaten in their previous seven league games and are unbeaten at home this season. Despite being unbeaten in six, Watford’s away record is less than desirable, with one win in their last seven.

Cardiff v Sheff United – Sheff Utd to win

Cardiff have been in awful form over the last few weeks, with no wins in seven. Sheffield United have been in spectacular form - unbeaten in their last ten league games and are unbeaten in five on their travels.

Leeds v Oxford – Leeds to win

Leeds have the best home record in the Championship, with nine wins, one draw and one loss from 11 games at Elland Road. They have won their last eight consecutive games on home soil, while Oxford have one of the worst away records in the Championship, with no wins from nine, two draws and seven losses.

Millwall v Blackburn – Blackburn to win

Millwall are winless in their last six games, while Blackburn have been impressive in recent weeks, as the visitors have won their last six consecutive games in the Championship. The visitors are also unbeaten in the last six meetings between the two sides.

Plymouth v Middlesbrough – Boro to win

Plymouth Argyle are winless in their previous six and have lost their previous four consecutive league games. Middlesbrough have won two of their last five away games in the Championship and have only suffered one defeat in five on their travels.

Sunderland v Norwich – Sunderland to win

Sunderland are unbeaten at home this season, having won six and drawn four of their ten games at the Stadium of Light. Norwich City are winless in three, and their away record has been awful in the league, with one win since September.

 

Betway’s Premier League tips

Aston Villa v Manchester City: Jhon Duran to score 6/4

It’s three goals in three games for Jhon Duran and the Colombian can cause issues for a City backline hit hard by injuries in recent weeks.

 

Ipswich v Newcastle: Both teams to score 13/20

Both teams have scored in six of the last eight Ipswich matches and each of the last four Newcastle fixtures.

 

Nottingham Forest double chance v Brentford 4/7

Forest take on a Brentford team that has the best home record in the league – with seven wins and one draw so far.

Only one of those wins came against a top-six team though and Forest’s ability to hit teams on the break could see them collect a positive result at the Gtech Community Stadium.

 

Crystal Palace v Arsenal: Martin Odegaard 2+ shots on target 9/2

The midweek five-goal EFL Cup tie at the Emirates is unlikely to be a guide as to what will happen on Saturday, with more at stake in this clash.

With Palace likely to defend deep in an attempt to frustrate Arsenal, Martin Odegaard will likely to be tempted to try his luck from range.

Sporting Life’s Saturday acca

 

Sunderland, Blackpool and Grimsby to win

Sunderland v Norwich

Sunderland have now lost just once in 14 matches stretching back to September and are unbeaten at the Stadium of Light.

Norwich haven't won away in three months and their position of 12th is a fair reflection of what they are: a mid-table team.

 

Blackpool v Stevenage

Blackpool have rediscovered the form they had in the early games of Steve Bruce's tenure by winning their last three League One matches, impressively thrashing one of the division's strongest home teams Reading 3-0 away from home last weekend.

Stevenage may have won their last two, but both were at home and they've picked up just five points on their travels this term.

 

Swindon v Grimsby

Promotion-chasing Grimsby are playing one of the fourth-tier poorest sides in Swindon this weekend, a team who have barely won a match in the past 18 months.

Acca FAQs

 

What is an acca?

An ‘acca’ is a short term for the word ‘accumulator’, which is hard to spell and takes up a lot of space to write.

The acca is a bet consisting of several different selections which form one bet.

Four or more selections make up an acca, and some bookmakers may even offer as many as 20 selections in total.

The more selections you add to the acca the more your chances of success decrease, but the odds will get bigger.

To win an acca, you need each of your selections to be successful. For example, all five horses picked for a five-fold acca would need to win for you to claim your winnings, unless you have made your bet each-way.

What is an each-way acca?

Each-way accas are mostly used in horse racing.

An each-way accumulator is two separate bets, one bet for your selections to win, the other to finish in the places.

For example, if you placed a £5 each-way acca your stake would be £10.

The bet is lost if one of your selections fails to win or place.

 

Why bet with an acca?

You can group multiple bets, of varying prices, together to enhance your odds. A small stake could earn a large profit.

 

What is a fold in an acca?

Fold refers to a leg of your acca, for example, a six-fold acca is six separate selections to form one acca bet. 

What is acca insurance?

If your bookmaker offers acca insurance, your stake could be returned to you as a free bet if one leg of acca fails.

What are the benefits of an acca?

 

Larger odds:

Bookies multiply the odds of each selection you add to your slip. So even if you place just a pound on a multiple-legged acca you could get a very generous price.

 

Variety:

You can select several favourites in your acca, or mix long shots with favourites. The choice is yours.

 

Multiple sports:

You can pick selections across a number of different sports or just one event like a football match or one horse racing meeting.

Small stakes can yield big profits.

 

Acca insurance:

Your stake could be returned to you as a free bet if one leg of acca fails.

 

Cash out:

Some bookies will offer the chance to cash out during the event

What are the negatives of an acca?

- The bigger the odds of your acca your chances of success reduce

- One failed leg can ruin an acca

- Cash out isn't always available. You are at the mercy of the bookie with a cash out, they could block the cash out option during the event

How to calculate your winnings in an acca?

Multiply the odds of your selections to find out your acca odds.

It’s a very simple formula but probably easier to work out if you change your odds into decimals.

Example for a four-legged acca: 2.10 x 3.00 x 1.57 x 2.66 = 26.31 

A £10 stake would return £263.10p

Can I place an acca on any sport?

Yes, horse racing and football are the most common. But tennis, cricket and darts accas are gaining in popularity.

For example on one single Saturday, you could add a football match, a horse race, a grand prix and a tennis final to your acca.
