Venezia vs Fiorentina

Fiorentina lost to Real Betis in last week's Conference League semi-final tie and they may struggle to take maximum points at Venezia in Serie A. The hosts held La Viola to a 0-0 draw in August and are scrapping hard for their top-flight survival, losing only two of their last ten matches.

Granada vs Eibar

Granada are pushing for the playoffs in Spain's Segunda Division and they look too strong for lowly visitors Eibar. Granada drew 1-1 with leaders Elche in their last home fixture and had won four of their previous five league matches. 

Atalanta vs Roma

Roma are unbeaten in Serie A since December 15 and they have won nine of their last 12 league fixtures to nil. That run includes a 1-0 victory at Champions League finalists Inter in their last away game and they should be backed to avoid defeat at Atalanta.

Sheffield United vs Bristol City

Bristol City won only four of their 23 regular-season away games in the Championship and they have to overturn a 3-0 deficit from the home leg of their playoff semi-final against Sheffield United. The Blades finished 22 points above the Robins and can seal their place in the final in style at Bramall Lane.

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.
