Luton vs AFC Wimbledon

Relegated Luton have made some excellent signings this summer with experienced Championship performers Nahki Wells and George Saville arriving at Kenilworth Road. The Hatters should be far too good for League Two playoff winners Wimbledon. 

Arbroath vs Ayr United

Ayr have made some interesting moves in the transfer market and manager Scott Brown has made the most of his Celtic connections. The Honest Men rate a few levels above Arbroath and Brown’s boys can start the second-tier season with a bang. 

LASK Linz vs Sturm Graz

Last season's two meetings between these sides finished 4-2 and 2-1 in favour of Sturm Graz and the visitors are fancied to get campaign off to a winning start against LASK. 

Mechelen vs Club Brugge 

Club Brugge got their domestic campaign up and running with a 2-1 win over Genk and the Blue & Blacks impressed when hitting 18 shots on goal in that victory. Nicky Hayen's men should make it two wins in a row at Mechelen.

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.
