ACCA Football accumulator tips for this weekend (27/28 April 2024)

The fixture of the weekend sees Spurs and Arsenal clash in the North London Derby on Sunday.

Could this be the weekend it all goes wrong for the Gunners? Manchester City have a winnable match at the City Ground against Nottingham Forest, and Liverpool take on West Ham at the London Stadium, having dropped more important points against Everton in midweek. 

There are also key fixtures at the bottom of the table, with Luton looking for points at Wolves and Burnley hoping they can pull off a win at Old Trafford. We were tempted to say a shock win at Old Trafford, but would it be? 

This weekend, we’ve picked out a Saturday treble that returns £71.59 from a £10 bet. Add our two Sunday selections, and the five-fold pays £262.49. 

The accumulator can be placed with any of our top football sites for Premier League betting.

🥅 Fulham vs Crystal Palace: Both teams to score and over 2.5 goals (20/21)

This one has a look of 2-1 either way about it. 

Fulham have been inconsistent lately, only winning one of their last five. 

They have still been scoring goals, though. Only Newcastle have managed a clean sheet against the Cottagers in recent weeks. 

Palace has found form, winning three on the bounce. They have also started scoring goals, with ten in their last four games.

This run started with the two goals they scored at home at Manchester City. And this came after new boss Oliver Glasner was bemoaning their reluctance to shoot in the 1-0 defeat to Bournemouth that preceded their excellent goal-scoring form. 

The Palace players now seem to have got to grips with the style Glasner wants them to play and are finishing the season with a flourish. 

We expect Palace to score, and Fulham has only failed to score in one of their last 12 Premier League outings.

🥅 Man Utd vs Burnley: Man Utd (-1) to win on the handicap (6/5)

I have debated whether to put this bet in or not. 

United are on a planet of their own. They couldn’t even hold a three-goal lead against Championship side Coventry City in the FA Cup last Sunday.

We simply don’t know what we are going to get from Ten Hag’s team.

To slightly contradict that last statement, Bruno Fernandes is in good form. If nothing else, he seems determined to finish the season with some fight and vigour. 

We did consider backing Fernandes to score. But instead, we are backing his team to complete a comfortable win over Burnley.

The Clarets are in the best form they’ve shown all season. They’ve only lost one match of their last seven. 

But the Theatre of Dreams could be where it all ends for Kompany and Burnley this season.

🥅 Everton vs Brentford: Both teams to score (4/6)

For the majority of the season, Sean Dyche’s Everton have had a high xG. The problem is they haven’t been converting those chances. 

The Toffees have now started to turn those performances into results. 

Okay, Forest fans may say the Toffees had a bit of help from the officials, and Liverpool fans can bemoan all the chances their team missed in the final Merseyside Derby for Jurgen Klopp. 

But whatever the reasons, Everton’s luck seems to have turned, and they now have three wins in their last four. 

Brentford are on a good run themselves. They are five unbeaten.

The Bees will feel they can get a result at Goodison Park. Especially after all the effort exerted by Dyche’s side, in what one-half of Liverpool called their cup final last Wednesday. 

This match could go either way, with goals at both ends likely.  

⚽ Back both teams to score at 4/6 with bet365 ⚽

Add the following two bets from Sunday’s fixtures to make it a five-fold acca.

🥅 Spurs vs Arsenal: Spurs and the draw in the double chance (1/1)

We’ve all been waiting for the Gunners to crack this season, and apart from the second half at home to Aston Villa two weeks ago, they simply haven’t.

Could this be the weekend where it all goes wrong, though? 

Arsenal have bounced back brilliantly from the defeats to Villa and Munich with a 2-0 win away at Wolves and a 5-0 thrashing of Chelsea. 

They now have to go to the well again on Sunday and get a result at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.

Spurs have been poor in recent weeks. They’ve had fourth place there for taking on more than one occasion. And every time, they’ve handed the initiative back to Villa.

Ange Postecoglou’s team have mainly struggled on the road. But they have also made extremely hard work of beating Luton and Nottingham Forest on their patch.

We expect them to be up for the battle against the Gunners on Sunday. The Derby match could be the fixture that gets them going again. 

We’re not sure they can win. But we feel they might prevent Mikel Arteta’s team from grabbing another vital three points.

⚽ Back Spurs to win or draw in double chance at 1/1 with bet365 ⚽

🥅 Nottingham Forest vs Man City: City (-1) to win on the handicap (5/6)

Okay, we get it, Nottingham Forest doesn’t lose too many or by too much at the City Ground.

But look at what City did to Brighton on Thursday. 

Yes, Forest has far more to play for than the Seagulls did. But this is the title run-in. 

And although the Reds badly need the points, we can’t see them getting any on Sunday.

We can only see City winning this with a bit to spare. They might not look as strong as they did 12 months ago. But they are still winning Premier League games in convincing style. 

And crucially, they are looking to boost their goal difference.
