Saturday Acca Tips: Ajax, Monaco and Everton amongst the picks

Schalke 04 to beat VfL Wolfsburg @ 13/10

Wolfsburg survived by the skin of their teeth last season, edging out Holsten Kiel in the relegation-play offs after a 16^th-placed finish.

They host a Schalke side who finished second in 2017-18, and have dominated in head-to-heads against Die Wolfe.

Domenico Tedesco’s side have won each of the last two meetings without conceding. And that’s part of a longer-term trend. Five of the last six clashes have been Schalke wins – including a 4-1 mauling in 2017.

Celta Vigo to beat Espanyol @ 10/11

Celta have done some good business this summer, including the signing of midfield prodigy Fran Beltran from Rayo Vallecano. So they’re likely to improve on last season’s points tally of 49 – the same total Espanyol managed.

It’s Celta who have home advantage for this season opener. And their home record last season was pretty decent – the ninth best in La Liga.

Having lost just one of the last seven head-to-heads, Carlos Mourino’s men should have enough to edge this one.

Everton to beat Southampton @ 5/6

The Toffees looked bright on the opening weekend, grabbing a 2-2 draw at Molineux – with new signing Richarlison grabbing both the goals.

As for the Saints, they failed to break down a Burnley side in a goalless stalemate. That marked the fourth time in seven games that the South Coast club have drawn a blank.

With hosts Everton boasting some good attacking options and Saints struggling for goals, it’s hard to see past a home win here.
