The weekend begins with a night of crucial clashes in some of Europe’s biggest leagues, including action from Germany, Portugal and the Netherlands.
The Coral News team are back with a fivefold accumulator on the action, beginning with an enticing Bundesliga fixture.
If successful, a £5 wager on tonight’s selections would return a handsome £266.87. Odds and returns correct at time of writing.
Mainz to beat Eintracht Frankfurt
The home side have won three of their last four Bundesliga games at OPEL Arena, as well as a DFB Pokal victory over Holsten Kiel on Tuesday night. In the process, Sandro Schwarz’ men have racked up an impressive 12 goals.
Visitors Eintracht Frankfurt have been hit-and-miss this term, and haven’t won in their 13 previous visits to face Die Nullfunfer.
In fact, Mainz have triumphed in all of the last three meetings on their own patch, including a 4-2 victory in May. Another Mainz win looks a good addition at 8/5.
Sporting CP to beat Rio Ave
After a bright start to the season, the bubble has burst for Rio Ave. Miguel Cardoso’s men have won just one of their last six league games, scoring just four goals in the process.
By contrast, visitors Sporting are in fantastic form. Unbeaten in their opening nine league games, Leoes produced a 5-1 rout of Chaves on Sunday, with prolific hitman Bas Dost bagging a hat-trick.
While a four-goal margin might be pushing it away to a reasonable Rio Ave side, it’s hard to see past a Sporting victory at 4/7.
FC Twente to beat Excelsior
While they’ve been pretty dismal on the road, Twente have been excellent at De Grolsch Veste. The Tukkers have won four successive home games in all competitions, including a 4-0 rout of Utrecht and back-to-back 3-0 victories.
Visitors Excelsior have been inconsistent this term, losing three of their last six matches.
The Head-to-Head record between these sides has been very even, but with Twente looking strong at home, the Coral News Team are tipping another win on their own patch at 20/23.
Sheffield United to beat Leeds
The Blades have the joint-most victories in the Championship this term, and are looking to make it a 10th win from 14 when they head to Leeds United.
The Steel City club have come out on top in three of their last four away games, including a 4-2 victory over rivals Sheffield Wednesday last month. That result marked the first time any visiting side had put four goals past the Owls at Hillsborough since March 2014.
Thomas Christiansen’s Whites have been leaking goals on a regular basis of late. They’ve been beaten in four of the last five games, including a home defeat to Reading and a 3-0 humiliation at Hillsborough. Another Sheffield United win looks good value at 9/4.
Slask Wroclaw to beat Pogon Szczecin
Slask have already beaten table-topping Lech Poznan and high-flying Legia Warsaw in Wroclaw this season. So, another three points against bottom-of-the-league Pogon should prove straightforward – with the visitors in dreadful form.
The Szczecin outfit are winless in eight games, losing three from the previous four. And the pair’s Head-to-Head record also points to a victory for the hosts, with Wojskowi dominating in recent times.
In fact, Slask are unbeaten in the last six meetings and won 2-0 in Szczecin last season. The Coral News team are banking on them doing it again at 23/20.
