Odds correct at time of publication

Portugal vs DR Congo

The control and structure that Portugal can implement on matches is likely to be key at the World Cup and their top-level midfield can boss DR Congo. Roberto Martinez's men are ready to pick up three points in their opening Group K contest. 

Under 3.5 goals in England vs Croatia 

Croatia's aged squad is unable to play high-intensity football, and Thomas Tuchel has shown no willingness to let the shackles off in his time in charge of England. It's difficult to see too much attacking action in Dallas. 

Ghana vs Panama

Panama have lost only two of their last 18 matches, and as we have seen already at the World Cup, there is a lot to be said for sitting in and being difficult to beat. This Ghana side is not a patch on their golden generation and the draw looks a value play in this spot. 

Under 3.5 goals in Uzbekistan vs Colombia  

Uzbekistan aren't one of the leading lights at the World Cup, but their strength is in defence and Fabio Cannavaro's men have kept six clean sheets in their last ten matches. Colombia should have enough to win this tie, but the goals are unlikely to flow at the Azteca.

World Cup 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.
