Reasoning This six-fold accumulator combines strong favourites with logical goal-based selections. Bayern Munich and Monaco should have too much quality for their opponents but are likely to concede. Sunderland and Aston Villa’s superiority should eventually shine through, while Fiorentina’s win in a low-scoring match and Valladolid’s defensive frailties enhance the value of this bet. | |
Wolves vs Fulham
John Pentin; Sports Journalist at BettingTips4You
Rationale:
Wolves head into this clash full of confidence after securing a hard-fought 1-0 victory over Bournemouth, marking their third win in four matches. Under Vitor Pereira, they have developed a resilience that has made them a formidable force at Molineux. Their home form is on the rise, and they now have the chance to secure consecutive home league wins for the first time in over a year.
Fulham, while strong on their travels, suffered a disappointing 2-0 defeat to Crystal Palace last time out. Despite their impressive ability to score away from home—having found the net in 14 consecutive away fixtures—they face a Wolves side that has tightened up defensively. Matheus Cunha continues to impress, netting his 13th goal of the season, and could again be decisive in this fixture.
The Cottagers have the quality to make this competitive, but Wolves’ form and home advantage should prove too much for Marco Silva’s side.

Chelsea vs Southampton
Herrin Kendrick; Sports Journalist at BettingTips4You
Rationale:
Chelsea have been unpredictable this season, but when facing bottom-half opposition at Stamford Bridge, they tend to deliver. The Blues have won three of their last four home matches, scoring at least twice in each, and their only defeat in their last 18 home games came against Fulham—a result that was an outlier rather than the trend.
Southampton’s defensive issues have been well documented. They have conceded three or more goals in each of their last six league defeats, and their struggles are compounded by the absence of Jan Bednarek and potentially Taylor Harwood-Bellis. Against Chelsea’s forward line, which should find plenty of openings, the Saints are likely to suffer another heavy defeat.
With the visitors in disarray at the back, Chelsea have a prime opportunity to secure a commanding win. A 3-0 or 4-1 scoreline would not be surprising, making the -2 handicap an excellent value pick.
Best Bet – Chelsea -2 Handicap Win
Crystal Palace vs Aston Villa
Gram Dodd; Sports Journalist at BettingTips4You
Rationale:
This fixture has the potential to be a goal-fest, with both teams boasting attacking talent and struggling for defensive consistency. Crystal Palace have been rejuvenated in front of goal, thanks largely to Jean-Philippe Mateta’s resurgence. The French forward now has 14 league goals, while Eberechi Eze continues to be a creative force from midfield. The Eagles have scored in five of their last six matches, highlighting their ability to break down defences.
Aston Villa, on the other hand, possess an array of attacking talent, with Ollie Watkins leading the charge. Their last four matches have featured at least three goals, and with their backline weakened due to injuries to Pau Torres and Boubacar Kamara, they are vulnerable defensively.
Given Palace’s improved attacking displays and Villa’s attacking depth, backing over 2.5 goals looks a smart bet. Both sides are more than capable of contributing to a high-scoring encounter.
Best Bet – Over 2.5 Goals
Brighton vs AFC Bournemouth
Wolfgang Shotten; Sports Journalist at BettingTips4You
Rationale:
A match between Brighton and Bournemouth rarely lacks entertainment, and this encounter is set to continue that trend. Brighton’s attack has been firing, with Joao Pedro, Kaoru Mitoma, and Yankuba Minteh all in fine form. Their last three wins have seen them score nine goals, and at the Amex, they often produce thrilling performances.
Bournemouth, too, have been impressive going forward, with Justin Kluivert, Dango Ouattara, and Antoine Semenyo causing problems for defences. The Cherries have netted in 13 of their last 14 games and have scored in each of their last seven away matches.
Defensively, both teams are suspect. Bournemouth will be without the suspended Illia Zabarnyi, leaving them vulnerable, while Brighton have conceded ten goals in their last six home matches. Given the attacking quality on display, expect plenty of goalmouth action.
Best Bet – Over 3.5 Goals
Stoke City vs Middlesbrough
Steve Harrington; Sports Journalist at BettingTips4You
Rationale:
Stoke City’s home form has been a bright spot in their campaign, with an unbeaten run of four games at the bet365 Stadium. They showcased their defensive solidity in a 2-0 victory over Swansea, and with confidence growing under Mark Robins, they will fancy their chances against a struggling Middlesbrough side.
Despite their inconsistencies, Middlesbrough remain one of the Championship’s top-scoring away sides. They have netted 27 times in 16 away games, but their defence has been a major concern. Michael Carrick’s side have failed to keep a clean sheet in their last six league outings, and their struggles at the back make them vulnerable once again.
While Boro are capable of scoring, Stoke’s home form and defensive structure give them the edge. Backing Stoke to win with both teams scoring provides great value.
Best Bet – Stoke to Win & Both Teams to Score
Cardiff vs Hull City
Tyler Morris; Sports Journalist at BettingTips4You
Rationale:
This Championship clash sees two sides battling to finish the season strongly, with both showing vulnerabilities in defence but possessing attacking threats capable of capitalising on each other’s weaknesses. Cardiff have found some rhythm in front of goal, with their last two home wins seeing them find the net, while Callum Robinson remains a key creative spark.
Hull, meanwhile, have been far more effective away from home than at the MKM Stadium. They have already secured wins at Sunderland and Sheffield United and have scored in eight of their last ten away matches. However, their defensive frailties remain a concern, with just two clean sheets in their last ten league outings.
With both sides pushing for points and showing defensive lapses, backing both teams to score looks a strong selection.
