The Long Journey Accumulator Tips: Our 19/1 Experts’ Week Long Acca

Wednesday – Real Madrid vs Manchester City

Wolfgang Shotten; Sports Journalist at BettingTips4You

Rationale:

Manchester City travel to Spain for the first leg of this highly anticipated Champions League clash against Real Madrid. The holders, led by Pep Guardiola, have displayed their usual dominance in both domestic and European competitions this season. While Madrid’s home record is formidable, City are well-equipped to handle the pressure at the Santiago Bernabéu.

Guardiola’s side have been resilient on their travels, losing just one of their last ten away fixtures. Their ability to control possession and dictate the tempo makes them difficult to break down, even against elite opposition. Real Madrid, on the other hand, have had occasional defensive lapses, particularly when facing high-intensity pressing teams. With Kevin De Bruyne pulling the strings in midfield and Erling Haaland posing a constant threat up front, City should at least avoid defeat in Madrid.

Best bet – Draw/Man City Double Chance

Thursday – Roma vs Porto

Herrin Kendrick; Sports Journalist at BettingTips4You

Rationale:

Roma welcome Porto to the Stadio Olimpico for the second leg of their Europa League play-off, aiming to secure progression after a 1-1 draw in Portugal. The Giallorossi have been a dominant force at home, remaining unbeaten in their last eight matches in Rome, winning seven of them. Under their current management, they have displayed tactical discipline and defensive solidity, making them a tough proposition for any opponent.

Porto, by contrast, have been inconsistent on the road, losing three of their last five away games. Their struggles in breaking down well-organised defensive units have been evident, and against a Roma side that thrives on controlling matches at home, they could find themselves outmatched. With home advantage, superior recent form, and a more structured approach, Roma should have enough quality to claim victory in normal time.

Best bet – Roma to win

Friday – Burnley vs Sheffield Wednesday

Gram Dodd; Sports Journalist at BettingTips4You

Rationale:

Burnley’s pursuit of automatic promotion remains on track, and they will be confident of extending their impressive unbeaten run when Sheffield Wednesday visit Turf Moor. The Clarets have been excellent at home, winning their last two matches at this venue without conceding a goal. Their defensive organisation and ability to control possession have made them a formidable side in the Championship.

Sheffield Wednesday, on the other hand, are struggling for consistency, having picked up just two wins in their last eight matches. Their lack of attacking potency has been a major issue, and they will find it difficult to break down a well-structured Burnley backline. Given the hosts’ defensive stability and the visitors’ bluntness in the final third, a home win without conceding looks the most logical outcome.

Best bet – Burnley to win to nil

Saturday – Aston Villa vs Chelsea

John Pentin; Sports Journalist at BettingTips4You

Rationale:

Aston Villa host Chelsea in what promises to be an exciting Premier League encounter, with both teams eager to secure valuable points. Villa have turned Villa Park into a fortress this season, losing just once on home soil. Their attacking approach under Unai Emery has produced goals, but defensive vulnerabilities have been evident, especially when facing top-six opposition.

Chelsea, meanwhile, arrive in the West Midlands after a disappointing run of form, including a heavy defeat at Brighton. Despite this, their overall attacking quality remains intact, with key players capable of punishing defensive lapses. With Villa’s home scoring record and Chelsea’s attacking intent, both sides are likely to find the net in what should be a competitive contest.

Best bet – Both teams to score

Sunday – Newcastle vs Nottingham Forest

Steve Harrington; Sports Journalist at BettingTips4You

Rationale:

Newcastle aim to get back to winning ways when they host Nottingham Forest at St James’ Park. Despite suffering a setback against Manchester City last weekend, Eddie Howe’s men have been strong at home, winning six of their last eight matches on Tyneside. Their high-pressing style and attacking intensity make them a difficult side to contain in front of their own supporters.

Nottingham Forest, by contrast, have struggled on the road, suffering back-to-back defeats away from home. Their defensive frailties have been exposed in recent matches, and against a Newcastle side looking to bounce back and strengthen their push for European football, they could find themselves overwhelmed. Given the Magpies’ strong home form and Forest’s struggles on their travels, a home win looks the most likely outcome.

Best bet – Newcastle to win
