Sheffield United vs Sunderland

Sheffield United eased past Bristol City 6-0 on aggregate in the Championship playoff semi-final and they should be backed to beat Sunderland. The Black Cats scraped past Coventry with a 120th-minute goal in their semi-final, and they failed to score in five of their last six regular-season games. The Blades look primed for a Premier League return.

Real Madrid vs Real Sociedad

Real Madrid have little to play for in the final round of La Liga fixtures but they have won nine of their last 11 league matches and should be motivated to finish on a high at home in Carlo Ancelotti's last match before being replaced by Xabi Alonso. Real Sociedad have won only one of their last seven league fixtures and they were swatted aside 4-0 at Atletico Madrid in their last road outing.

Arminia Bielefeld vs Stuttgart

Stuttgart were beaten 3-2 by Bayer Leverkusen in last season's German Cup final but they should land the trophy against third-tier Arminia Bielefeld. Stuttgart won their last three Bundesliga games and, while Arminia Bielefeld have knocked out four top-flight sides. All of those scalps were claimed on home soil and Stuttgart's top-flight quality should tell.

Rayo Vallecano vs Mallorca

Rayo Vallecano moved into eighth spot in La Liga with last weekend's win over Celta Vigo and they can secure Conference League qualification with a fourth win in five games. Mallorca's season has petered out with last weekend's 2-1 reverse at home to Getafe their fourth defeat in five.

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.
