Basel vs Aston Villa

Aston Villa have won four of their five Europa League games this season and will be riding high after beating Arsenal 2-1 on Saturday to climb to third in the Premier League table. 

Unai Emery's side are fancied to get the better of a Basel team who have lost three of their five European matches this term.

Celtic vs Roma

Wilfried Nancy's first game in charge of Celtic ended in disappointment as the Bhoys were beaten 2-1 at home by Hearts. The hosts looked disjointed in that clash and they face another tough challenge as they face Roma in this crucial Europa League match.

The Italians have been solid on their travels recently, winning seven of their last nine away games, and they were comfortable 2-0 winners at Ibrox last month. They could do the Glasgow double and inflict another defeat on Celtic.

Porto vs Malmo

Porto have been in impeccable form this season, they lead the way in the Portuguese top flight after winning 12 of their 13 league games, and they are in the top eight of the Europa League after winning three of their first five matches.

Francesco Farioli's men should be able to extend that good run against a Malmo side who have just one point from their five league stage games. 

FCSB vs Feyenoord

Feyenoord have clicked into gear recently, scoring eight in their last two games, and that high-scoring nature should see them overpower FCSB, who have won just one of their last seven games in all competitions.

The hosts have lost four Europa League matches in a row and look set for more misery against these opponents.

Football acca FAQs

What is a football accumulator (acca)?
A football accumulator, commonly referred to as an 'acca', is a single bet that combines multiple individual bets into one. Each selection within the accumulator must win for the bet to pay out, offering higher potential returns but at increased risk compared to single bets.

Can I place an acca on different markets?
Yes, you can combine various markets in an acca, including match winners, total goals, both teams to score, and more. However, most betting platforms require that selections within an accumulator are not related to ensure the bet is valid.

What is the advantage of placing an accumulator bet?
The main advantage of an accumulator bet is the potential for higher returns from a smaller stake since the odds of each selection are multiplied together. It adds excitement to watching multiple matches, as each leg of your acca needs to be successful for a return.
