Mainz vs FC Koln Preview

Germany, Bundesliga, Friday, October 21st, 19:30 (UK)

A place in the top 4 is up for grabs for both sides here at Mewa Arena. Mainz snapped a four-game winless Bundesliga sequence on Saturday. The 2-0 win at Bremen was described as the best he’d seen from his team this season by Bo Svensson. Keeping a clean sheet is as impressive as the three points. Only Bayern Munich had scored more goals than Werder going into the fixture. With Die Nullfünfer joining Augsburg as the only two sides to keep out Ole Werner’s side this term.

Cologne also showed their resilience at the weekend. Ending a run of three consecutive competitive defeats albeit two of those losses came in the Champions League. Even so, a comeback success in a five-goal thriller at home to Augsburg was very welcome. Although not a new phenomenon having conceded the opener in eight of the last nine league games.

Mainz vs FC Koln Best Bet

Mainz could be the perfect opponent to start tightening up the visitors’ charitable rearguard. All four of Mainz’s Bundesliga wins this season have come away from home. They are the league’s strongest away team with 12 points, but the worst home side with just three points. Remaining one of just two sides without a home win in the German top flight.

Only seven goals have been scored in the four league games at Mewa Arena this campaign fewer than anywhere else. With the hosts contributing just two.

Selection: Match result will be draw or Cologne and Under 5 goals in the match
Best Odds: 1.80 (bet365)
Stakes: 5/10

Notts County vs Maidstone Preview

England, National League, Friday, October 21st, 19:45 (UK)

County will look to bounce back to winning ways following a shock exit from the FA Cup at Meadow Lane. Luke Williams’ rotated team fought back to equalise twice but had no answer to the 86th-minute winner from the Ravens’ Luke Shaw. They were brought back down to earth with a thud. The cup elimination followed a run of four successive league wins. Including a 1-0 defeat of title rivals Wrexham in front of nearly 11,000 fans in the last league game here.

In contrast, Maidstone are down in 21st place with just 12 points to their name from the opening 13 fixtures. There was no cup joy for Stones last weekend either. A single-goal loss to Southern League Premier Division Central was described by Hakan Hayrettin as “absolutely disgraceful”. The head coach stating the supporters deserved better. I’m not sure this is the venue for them to get that.

Notts County vs Maidstone Best Bet

I expect a routine home win here and there is one man likely to fire the Pies to success. Macauley Langstaff is already sending ripples to the EFL with his explosive start to the season. The 25-year-old has scored 15 goals in 13 matches including that crucial winner over Wrexham. In his first season with County, he has carried on where he left off for National League North side Gateshead. Plundering 32 goals and providing 14 assists for the Tynesiders.

Selection: Notts County to win and Macauley Langstaff to score
Best Odds: 1.86 (bet365)
Stakes: 7/10

Juventus vs Empoli Preview

Italy, Serie A, Friday, October 21t, 19:45 (UK)

Under-fire boss Massimiliano Allegri relieved a small amount of pressure from his shoulders as his side emerged victorious from the Turin derby last weekend. Dušan Vlahović applied the finishing touch to a well-worked set piece to claim his side’s first away win of the season. A win here at the Allianz Stadium would be a third in a row in all competitions. The three points lifting the Bianconeri one place to 7th. That’s ahead of big rivals Inter who they play prior to the break for the World Cup.

Paolo Zanetti’s side survived relegation in their first campaign back in the top flight with something to spare last season. A win over Monza last weekend was a second this term and provided a six-point cushion to the bottom three. Empoli actually won this fixture last season in Allegri’s first home game back in charge of Juve. The 55-year-old can afford no such slip-ups this time around.

Juventus vs Empoli Best Bet

Although this is a must-win game for the home side, their stuttering form would suggest it is unlikely to be a landslide. Only one of their fixtures here this term has seen four or more goals. That being the 2-2 draw with Salernitana when Leonardo Bonucci scored an injury equaliser. The visitors’ draw by the same scoreline to the same opponent being their only road trip clearing three goals.
Dusan Vlahovic grabbed the only goal in the Derby Della Mole. His sixth strike of the season. He will once again be the man tasked with firing his side to all three points here. The 22-year-old striker is starting to look more like his former self again. Firing in six shots at the weekend. He has totalled 30 attempts at goal from nine Serie A appearances this season. Taking at least three in seven of those fixtures including in all five home games.

Selection: Under 4 goals in the match and Dusan Vlahovic over 2.5 shots
Best Odds: 1.80 (bet365)
Stakes: 7/10

WHAT IS A FOOTBALL ACCA?

A football acca is an accumulator bet, a type of bet that consists of several selections across different matches that are combined together into one single bet. An acca usually. consists of at least four selections but many more can be included. There will be odds for the single bet as a whole which is calculated by multiplying the odds of all of the selections. A football acca is one of the most popular ways to bet. This is the case because they can create potentially massive odds for a small stake. Many punters choose to create football accas which is what we have created here. If one of these selections loses then the football acca will lose. This type of bet needs every selection to win in order to succeed.
