High Five Football Acca: Sunday, September 11th

A Serie A-heavy approach to Sunday’s betting, propped up by a sturdy looking selection in France, makes up bettingexpert’s betslip on the continent. Let’s get to it.

High Five Acca Odds

Lecce vs Monza Preview

Italy, Serie A, Sunday, September 11th, 14:00 (UK)

Two of the three of Serie B’s best in class last season meet on Sunday afternoon with stumping up enough for three points on the agenda for both.

Monza sits rock bottom of Serie A, losing every game, whilst Lecce boasts just two points, though they can say they’ve kept every fixture competitive to date. Losses to Inter, Sassuolo and Torino for Lecce were all to one-goal deficits (1-2, 1-0, 1-0), backed up by two hard-fought 1-1 draws versus Empoli and Napoli.

Lecce vs Monza Best Bet

Monza’s 11.2xGA figure is a concern from five matches, something that may ultimately prove to be their downfall. In contrast, albeit not perfect by any means, Lecce’s 6.9xGA in the same timeframe proposes a more solid foundation for them to attempt to build results.

At home and adapting to Serie A with a focus on retaining a robust backline for 90 minutes, the double chance angle is tempting. Couple that with an unders goals pick in the hope Lecce and Monza continue to struggle to find the net, and we have a decent-looking wager on our hands.

Selection: Lecce and Draw Double Chance and Under 4 Goals
Best Odds: 1.83 (bet365)
Stakes: 7.5/10

Lazio vs Hellas Verona Preview

Italy, Serie A, Sunday, September 11th, 17:00 (UK)

Leading 4-1 before a Feyenoord consolation in the 88th minute on Thursday will have done wonders for a Lazio eleven who’ve already cast Inter Milan aside 3-1 at home this season. However, the Inter joy in Serie A was short-lived as a 1-2 loss to Napoli in the same arena soon followed.

That leaky nature at the back should be welcome news for Hellas Verona. The visitors arrive after scoring in 5/6 fixtures and will be hoping there are some tired legs at the Stadio Olimpico after Europa League duties. At the other end, Verona have conceded 13 in six. Napoli were able to put Verona to the sword, too, on the opening day, scoring five.

If Lazio can match the clinical nature apparent versus Inter and Feyenoord, we can expect goals on Sunday, with Lazio potentially having the edge.

Lazio vs Hellas Verona Best Bet

If I Biancocelesti can match the clinical nature apparent versus Inter and Feyenoord, we can expect goals on Sunday, with Lazio potentially having the edge. Hellas Verona, like they did last season averaging 3.26 goals per90, often provides a footing where punter’s can expect goalmouth action.

Selection: Lazio Win and Both Teams To Score
Best Odds: 3.20 (bet365)
Stakes: 5/10

Angers vs Montpellier Preview

France, Ligue 1, Sunday, September 11th, 14:00 (UK)

Montpellier are yet to misfire in Ligue 1, scoring in each match. It’s a stretch they’ve had to endure without an injured Wahbi Khazri and a suspended Teji Savenier. The duo make up two of Montpellier’s threats in front of goal. Some would have predicted a struggle without both, but we’ve witnessed the opposite in Ligue 1. La Paillade recorded the largest away win in Ligue 1 history. Montpellier registered eight shots on target versus Brest throughout the 90 minutes, seven of which proved ruinous for the home team. Lethal.

Montpellier’s 7.0xG from six matches is a nod towards a lethally efficient start to 2022/23, with a goal haul of 16. That’s a bit of a concern for the proposed selection and isn’t something Montpellier will harness and produce for the whole of the Ligue 1 campaign. Nonetheless, it suggests a handy knack for challenging the goalkeeper in difficult shooting positions.

Angers vs Montpellier Best Bet

With no win in six, four defeats on the trot, and four or more goals in their last five matches, it has been a frightfully tough few weeks for Montpellier’s opponents, Angers. In the most recent two home fixtures, scores of 1-3 and 2-4 sent supporters home displeased. Those fans will be wary of Montpellier’s firepower coupled with downbeat form, a mix that may lead to a hatful at Stade Raymond Kopa.

Last term, a 2.42 goals per90 average was what was mustered when Angers played in front of home support. The 3.33 garnered this season is more of what we’ll need for this selection.

Selection: Over 2.5 Asian Goal Line (TRACKED BET)
Best Odds: 1.88 (bet365)
Stakes: 10/10

Sassuolo vs Udinese Preview

Italy, Serie A, Sunday, September 11th, 14:00 (UK)

Former Watford and Everton, and now Udinese star-man Gerard Deulofeu has enjoyed a decent start to life in black and white this season. Three wins, a draw and the one defeat away to AC Milan represent a strong start for the Udine outfit.

Playing as one of the two up top and overseeing free-kick-taking duties, Deulofeu is often at the heart of any Udinese attack. The four assists to his name highlight the level of creative impact Deulofeu provides. Not only that, the Spaniard has packed his shooting boots each and every week.

Sassuolo vs Udinese Best Bet

The 3.68 shots per90 total from 4.80 90s show he’s willing to have a go, as do his match totals from the five opening games: 3, 2, 6, 5 and 1.

At 2.10 for three shots against a Sassuolo team that should provide opportunities born from their expansive open play, it’s one to consider.

Selection: Gerard Deulofeu Over 2.5 Shots
Best Odds: 2.10 (bet365)
Stakes: 10/10

Cremonese vs Atalanta Preview

Italy, Serie A, Sunday, September 11th, 11:30 (UK)

Cremonese have breathed new life into Serie A. The Lombardy-based club may have lost their first four fixtures in the top flight, but their approach to those games has been commendable. Willing to attack and take the game to their opposition may not guarantee a stay in Italy’s leading division, but it will get bums off seats and provide a good avert for Italian football.

Of those who have played at least 4.0 90s from 5.0, Cremonese frontman Cyriel Dessers ranks 7th in Serie A for shots per90 with 3.50. Not something you may expect from a team without a win and facing a long, arduous campaign ahead of them.

The visitors arrive in a different vein of form. And they do it with a similar swagger. Attack-minded football with a plethora of talent at the top end of the pitch, it’s safe to say it has clicked in the early stages of the season for Gian Piero Gasperini’s men. Four victories and a draw against AC Milan populate the scores on the doors.

Cremonese vs Atalanta Best Bet

At home, don’t be too surprised if Cremonese can muscle their way onto the scoresheet. Still, one would expect Atalanta to have too much for the newly-promoted side in their search for European football. The 8.2 xG total from those residing in Bergamo is the fourth-highest in Serie A, owing to the frequency Atalanta creates gilt-edge opportunities.

The 1.90 price for us to see three goals and an Atalanta win may be the best way into this match-up.

Selection: Atalanta Win and Over 2.5 Goals
Best Odds: 1.90 (bet365)
Stakes: 10/10

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.
