England vs Wales

Wales know that the outcome of Monday's home match against Belgium is crucial to their World Cup qualifying chances and that may mean that manager Craig Bellamy resists the urge to send out a first-choice side to face England. 

The Three Lions are already looking forward to next year and, having produced their finest performance yet under Thomas Tuchel in a 5-0 win at Serbia in September, they are expected to prove too strong.

Czech Republic vs Croatia

Croatia are a perfect four from four in Group L of World Cup qualifying and victory over Czech Republic, who have also taken 12 points but from one game more, should all but seal top spot. 

The Blazers made light work of the Czechs in Osijek in June, winning 5-1, and they are fancied to frank that form in Prague.

Faroe Islands vs Montenegro

Faroe Islands have lost five of their last seven internationals, with the only exceptions coming courtesy of two wins over Gibraltar, and they appear vulnerable against a Montenegro side who will be targeting maximum points from their final three qualifiers. 

The visitors won 1-0 when hosting Faroe Islands in March but it should have been a more emphatic victory as they won the shot count 20-4.

Scotland vs Greece

Greece were dismal in a 3-0 home defeat to Denmark in their latest World Cup qualifier and they look too short to repeat their Nations League triumph over Scotland at Hampden Park. 

The Tartan Army are unbeaten in three, having kept a clean sheet on each occasion, and they should be tough to pass in front of a fired-up Glaswegian crowd.

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.
