Football accumulator tips for Friday October 21: Porto can help 9-1 acca pay

A clash between two League One heavyweights in the shape of Ipswich and Derby is the domestic highlight on Friday's card.

Elsewhere some of the biggest clubs in Europe are in domestic action, with Porto's titanic tussle against Benfica the standout.

All bets must be placed by 7.30pm on Friday.

Racing Post football expert Joe Casey has picked:

Hibernianto beat St Johnstone

Juventusto beat Empoli

Derby or draw double chance v Ipswich

Porto to beat Benfica

The four-fold pays over 9-1 with bet365

Hibernian v St Johnstone

Hibernian are unbeaten in their five home league games this season, winning three of those contests, and they should be able to get the better of a St Johnstone side that have suffered three defeats on the spin.

Juventus v Empoli

Juventus bounced back from their Champions League humiliation against Maccabi Haifa with a 1-0 win at Turin rivals Torino last weekend, a victory that was far more comfortable than the scoreline suggests. The Old Lady have won nine of their last ten meetings with Empoli and should triumph against them again on home soil.

Ipswich v Derby

Derby have avoided defeat in six of their last seven away matches, a run which featured a 3-0 win over Accrington Stanley last time out, and they could frustrate an Ipswich side that were beaten at home to Lincoln on Saturday.

Porto v Benfica

Porto are unbeaten in their last nine meetings with title rivals Benfica, winning each of last three encounters. The Dragons can move back level on points with their visitors with a home win.
