Date: 23/11/24

Kick-off time: 15:00

Venue: Vitality Stadium

Despite Bournemouth sitting in 12th place, they are certainly looking ahead rather than nervously over their shoulders.

Arsenal vs Nottingham Forest: Prediction, Preview & Betting Tips | Footy Accumulators

Arsenal vs Nottingham Forest PredictionArsenal are looking to return to winning ways and we expect them to do so at home to Nottingham Forest. Despite their recent form, the Gunners’ record over Forest has proven that Nuno Espirito Santo’s side have struggled at the Emirates. The hosts have won the previous five meetings at the Emirates – including a 5-0 win in 2022.Mikel Arteta’s team are without a clean sheet in their previous three, so Forest could be the ones to score first in this fixture a...

Leicester City vs Chelsea: Prediction, Preview & Betting Tips | Footy Accumulators

Leicester vs Chelsea PredictionChelsea have made a strong start to the season and we expect this to continue against Leicester. The Blues are unbeaten in their previous three in all competitions and have remained unbeaten in the last six meetings with the Foxes. This includes three wins in a row. Goals should be a feature as neither side has kept a clean sheet in the last four meetings between the pair, with both teams scoring in five of the last six encounters. Leicester have conceded first in...

Kick-off time: 15:00

After a top four finish last season, Aston Villa will be hoping for a repeat to ensure a second consecutive year of Champions League football.

The Suns Need Devin Booker to Return to MVP Level

The Phoenix Suns have enjoyed a strong start to the NBA season, though they are still waiting for MVP-caliber star Devin Booker to get going. Their 9-4 record has them fifth in the Western Conference, but they have lost three of the last four as they navigate a stint without Kevin Durant. It was a costly victory against the Dallas Mavericks that altered the course of their young season, as they improved to 8-1 but lost Durant to a calf strain.
Durant’s performances have earned him a top-three ap...

Josh Okogie Emerges as Scoring Threat amid Suns Injury Woes

It is just 13 games into the new NBA season, but the injury bug has already hit the Phoenix Suns. One player who has benefitted from the absences of his teammates is Josh Okogie. The 26-year-old dealt with an injury of his own to start the campaign but is now playing an extended role. Kevin Durant is the biggest missing piece as he deals with a left calf strain, but he has since been joined on the sidelines by Bradley Beal, who is suffering from a similar injury. Jusuf Nurkic has missed a couple...

Denmark host Spain in the fifth game of the Nations League group stages, with both teams vying for top spot in the table.

Date: 15/11/24

Kick-off time: 19:45

Venue: Parken

This is a crucial game in determining who goes through to the next stage as group winners. A point for Spain ensures they finish in the top two as they currently sit in first with 10 points.

Portugal vs Poland: Prediction, Preview & Betting Tips | Footy Accumulators

Portugal vs Poland PredictionPortugal are in terrific form heading into this game, and we are backing them to comfortably win this one. They are unbeaten in their previous four games in all competitions, and are facing a Poland side who have no wins in their previous three. Defensively, this game looks to be a struggle for the visitors, as they are chasing their first clean sheet in their last nine. This fixture tends to provide entertainment of some sort and the recent history favours the ho...

Republic of Ireland vs Finland: Prediction, Preview & Betting Tips | Footy Accumulators

Republic of Ireland vs Finland PredictionDespite both teams being in less-than-desirable form, we are backing Ireland to win this game, considering the hosts won the first meeting in Finland by a 2-1 scoreline. Finland have lost their last four in all competitions whilst the visitors are winless in their previous six. Neither side particularly boasts a great defensive record, with Finland chasing their first clean sheet in nine and the hosts without a clean sheet in their previous seven. Expe...

Suns Star to be Re-evaluated in 2 Weeks with Calf Strain

Kevin Durant suffered a left calf strain during the Phoenix Suns’ 114-113 victory over the Dallas Mavericks on Friday night. Durant recorded 26 points, five rebounds, and four assists in the victory and showed no clear signs of injury. It will be a huge loss for a Suns team that is having an excellent start to the season with an 8-1 record. They currently sit atop the Western Conference, tied with the OKC Thunder. The Suns announced that he will be re-evaluated in two weeks, which will see him m...

Suns Clutch Time Play Continues to be a Strength

The Phoenix Suns have started the season with an 8-1 record, mostly due to their dominance in the clutch.  This record also matches the best start to a season in franchise history, which occurred in both 1980-81 and 2009-10.  In nine games so far, the Suns have been involved in seven clutch games, winning all of them.  A ‘clutch’ game is defined as a game in which the score is within five points with less than five minutes remaining.
On Friday night, the Suns won their latest clutch game, a 114-...

Chelsea vs Arsenal: Prediction, Preview & Betting Tips | Footy Accumulators

Chelsea vs Arsenal PredictionThis is a huge game for both teams, but we are expecting the points to be shared in this one. Arsenal have lost two consecutive games in all competitions, but possess a great record over Chelsea in previous meetings. The Gunners are unbeaten in the last six games between the two. Chelsea have lost just once at home this season, and since the opening day defeat to Manchester City, they have won five and drawn two of their seven games at Stamford Bridge. However, the...

The Suns Need to Reduce Kevin Durant’s Workload

It is just seven games into the NBA season, but Kevin Durant has already seen a huge workload for the Phoenix Suns. He has performed excellently so far, leading his side to an early 6-1 record and averaging 27.1 points per game. However, at 36 years old, Durant is playing a total of 39.3 minutes per game, which the Suns will need to reduce in order to maximize his effectiveness later in the season.
Last season, the Suns were fortunate to lean on Durant’s healthiest season since 2018-19, in which...

Brighton vs Manchester City: Prediction, Preview & Betting Tips | Footy Accumulators

Brighton vs Man City PredictionDespite their recent form across all competitions, we are backing Manchester City to return to winning ways against Brighton. They still have a favourable record over the Seagulls, as they are unbeaten in their previous six against their opponents. The hosts are without a clean sheet in their previous 16 meetings with City. The visitors have scored first in the last ten meetings between the pair and have been first-half winners in eight of the least ten. Expect...

Nottingham Forest vs Newcastle United: Prediction, Preview & Betting Tips | Footy Accumulators

Nottingham Forest vs Newcastle PredictionIt has been an excellent start to the season for Nottingham Forest and we expect this to continue with another win against Newcastle. Forest have greatly exceeded expectations so far, sitting third in the league table after ten games played. Nuno Espirito Santo’s side have the second-best defence on record with seven goals conceded, just one less than league leaders Liverpool. The hosts are unbeaten in their last four league games and are on a three-gam...

Wolverhampton Wanderers vs Southampton: Prediction, Preview & Betting Tips | Footy Accumulators

Wolves vs Southampton PredictionThis is a huge game for both sides at the bottom of the table but we are backing the points to be shared in this one. Despite the hosts remaining winless in their previous nine in all competitions, Wolves have a relatively strong record against Southampton, winning the last five meetings. Wolves are without a clean sheet in their last nine games, and although the Saints picked up their first victory of the season last weekend, they sit just a point ahead of thei...

PSG welcome Atletico Madrid to the Parc des Princes in what should be an intriguing matchup between two of Europe’s biggest sides.

Date: 06/11/24

Kick-off time: 20:00

Venue: Parc des Princes

Despite the departure of Kylian Mbappe over the summer, PSG have made a strong start to their season leading Ligue 1 by six points after 10 games. However, they have not had as much success in Europe, winning just one of their opening three games and sitting on four points. This leaves them in 19th place...

Bournemouth vs Manchester City: Prediction, Preview & Betting Tips | Footy Accumulators

Bournemouth vs Manchester City PredictionManchester City have enjoyed another excellent start to the season and we expect this to continue with a comfortable victory over Bournemouth. City have been nothing short of exceptional in the Premier League in 2024, remaining unbeaten since the December game of last year against Aston Villa. This season, Pep Guardiola’s side have been sensational as they remain the only unbeaten team in the Premier League with seven wins and two draws. Bournemouth hav...

Liverpool vs Brighton: Prediction, Preview & Betting Tips | Footy Accumulators

Liverpool vs Brighton PredictionBrighton have had a good start to the season, but we are backing Liverpool to continue their own excellent start with a win. The Reds have a tremendous home record in the Premier League stretching back to last season having won eight of their previous ten fixtures at Anfield. This season, Arne Slot’s men have win four from five at home and 11 of their first 12 in all competitions under the new regime. The Seagulls have proved themselves to be stern opposition un...

Newcastle vs Arsenal: Prediction, Preview & Betting Tips | Footy Accumulators

Newcastle vs Arsenal PredictionThis will be a tricky fixture for Arsenal, but we are backing them to leave with all three points in a narrow win. The Gunners have a magnificent away record in 2024, having lost just once in the Premier League and domestic competitions away from home. Newcastle are winless in their last three Premier League games, conceding first in five of their previous seven league fixtures. The Magpies have already played three London-based clubs this season, losing two and...
