Wednesday’s Accumulator: This four-fold accumulator focuses entirely on goals. Lincoln’s trip to Northampton and Qarabag’s visit to Ferencváros should be low-scoring, while Red Star’s clash with Pafos and Real Madrid’s opener at Osasuna promise more attacking drama. A balanced mix of overs and unders provides strong betting value.

60/1 - odds when tipped | |
Reasoning This accumulator focuses on reliable forwards who are likely to thrive given their teams’ current circumstances. Shaqiri remains Basel’s talisman, Dennis offers promise for Notts, Burstow spearheads Bolton’s attack, and Pavlidis is Benfica’s main goal threat. Combining these anytime scorer bets creates a high-value fourfold. | |
Basel vs Copenhagen
Linus Bergström; Football analyst at BettingTips4You
Rationale:
Basel are hoping to revive their European pedigree as they welcome Copenhagen in a high-stakes play-off at St Jakob-Park. The Swiss champions arrive with mixed league form, having fallen twice in their opening fixtures, yet they remain strong at home, notching back-to-back victories. Their confidence was also bolstered by a resounding 6-1 triumph in the Swiss Cup. Copenhagen, meanwhile, have navigated a tougher path to this stage, dispatching Drita and Malmo with ease and demonstrating defensive resilience, not conceding once in qualifying so far.
The Danes are excellent travellers, unbeaten in nine away matches, though Basel boast greater pedigree in reaching group stages from this stage of the competition. With Xherdan Shaqiri stepping up in attack recently, registering a goal and assist at the weekend, the expectation is for him to carry the scoring burden once more. His quality from open play and set pieces makes him the standout candidate to make the difference in this clash.
Best bet – Xherdan Shaqiri to score anytime

Notts County vs Shrewsbury Town
Steve Harrington; EFL specialist at BettingTips4You
Rationale:
Both Notts County and Shrewsbury are winless so far, with pressure mounting on their respective managers. Martin Paterson’s Magpies have suffered three straight defeats, including a cruel late loss to Barrow, while Shrewsbury’s issues in front of goal remain stark, having yet to score in the league this season. The hosts are struggling to find rhythm under new leadership, but their recent signing Matthew Dennis struck his first goal last weekend, showing he can be the spark needed in attack.
Shrewsbury’s problems are compounded by a suspension to Tommy McDermott and a lack of cutting edge up front, despite John Marquis and George Lloyd’s efforts. With Notts showing flashes of attacking promise even in defeat, Dennis looks well placed to strike again, particularly against a Shrews defence that conceded nine in their last three outings.
Best bet – Matthew Dennis to score anytime
Bolton Wanderers vs Reading
Herrin Kendrick; Betting writer at BettingTips4You
Rationale:
Bolton Wanderers are seeking to stabilise their form after an inconsistent start, with just one victory in four outings. Steven Schumacher’s men had a strong pre-season but are yet to carry that momentum into competitive matches. At home, they’ve looked vulnerable, winning just two of their last six league fixtures at the Toughsheet Community Stadium. Reading, on the other hand, have endured a disastrous start, losing all three League One matches so far and finding themselves bottom of the table.
Noel Hunt’s side did at least get off the mark in terms of goals through Lewis Wing against Wimbledon, but their defensive record on the road is a concern. Bolton will be turning to young forward Mason Burstow, who is expected to lead the line. His movement and pace should cause problems for a depleted Reading backline, giving him a great chance to open his account.
Best bet – Mason Burstow to score anytime
Fenerbahce vs Benfica
Wolfgang Shotten; European football columnist at BettingTips4You
Rationale:
Fenerbahce face an uphill battle against a Benfica side who have made a flawless start to the season. The Turkish outfit laboured to a draw at Goztepe in their domestic opener and while they did edge Feyenoord in the previous qualifying round, their defensive vulnerabilities remain a concern. Benfica, in contrast, have won every game so far this season, lifting the Super Cup and seeing off Nice in Europe without conceding.
Bruno Lage’s team are stacked with attacking quality, and Vangelis Pavlidis looks set to play a central role. Last season’s top scorer has already struck twice in this campaign and will spearhead their efforts again. While Benfica have never won away to Fenerbahce, Pavlidis’s sharpness and the supply line from wide areas suggest he is well positioned to continue his hot streak. His physicality against a makeshift Fener defence could tilt the tie in Benfica’s favour.
Best bet – Vangelis Pavlidis to score anytime
