Auxerre vs Lorient Preview
France, Ligue 1, Friday, September 16th, 20:00 (UK)
Over 1.5 goals has landed in all but one fixture for both sides this campaign. The two matches where it didn’t pay out for punters came against AC Ajaccio and Strasbourg – two teams occupying the bottom four after poor, winless starts.
Auxerre head into the fixture with Lorient conceding 14.71 shots per90 following their return to the top flight. Only four other sides average more than that total eight games in – Monaco, Clermont, and Friday’s visitors, Lorient. Yet, although Lorient’s brand of football leaves them susceptible to shooting opportunities at the wrong end, Auxerre props up Ligue 1 with their own offensive shots per90 figure – 7.86. A lack of invention and will to pull the trigger is to blame, with a figure overshadowed by Lorient’s 12.00 and, as an example, dwarfed by PSG’s 17.71 at the summit of the per90 rankings.
Auxerre vs Lorient Best Bet
Chances will be afforded to a visiting Lorient side. That should offer a level of reassurance for the proposed selection. However, the same can be said for Auxerre if they’re willing to seek out said chances. At home and with the potential of chasing a deficit, they should do. It makes the Double Chance the more appealing option in a league known for goals and red cards in 2022/23.
- Selection: Lorient or Draw and Over 1.5 Match Goals (TRACKED BET)
- Best Odds: 1.95 (bet365)
- Stakes: 10/10
Salernitana vs Lecce Preview
Italy, Serie A, Friday, September 16th, 19:45 (UK)
You may want to skip the next pick if you’re not a fan of unders. However, there’s good reason for championing a fixture of little thrill and action on the goalscoring front.
Fiorentina and Lecce are the two sides whose six matches have overseen the fewest goal totals this season. Eleven goals, both scored and conceded, in their opening games. Salernitana aren’t too far off with 15 goals, but their figure (9 scored/6 conceded) sees Lecce’s four goals scored more than doubled.
The underlying metrics agree, too. Only Spezia’s 3.9xG is worse than Lecce’s 4.1xg so far. Although Lecce are without a victory, a 95th-minute winning Inter goal and a 1-1 draw in Naples suggest a side willing and able to ride out difficult periods of pressure from high-quality opponents. Salernitana are far from the level of the two aforementioned Champions League clubs, but they have enough to avoid defeat against a visiting Lecce on their day.
Salernitana vs Lecce Best Bet
Davide Nicola’s men have lost just once all season. Roma’s 0-1 victory is the only thorn in a side that has become accustomed to finishing with honours even come the close of play. Four draws and a win make up the remaining fixtures, with Nicola pencilling in Lecce at home as a potential three points.
If you wanted to go a little further and hang your hat on another unders angle: only 4/20 of Daniele Doveri’s matches saw over four cards last season. The referee is known for a more lenient approach in a league where leniency is a rare commodity amongst officials.
- Selection: Salernitana or Draw and Under 4 Goals (TRACKED BET)
- Best Odds: 1.75 (bet365)
- Stakes: 10/10
More Salernitana vs Lecce Tips
Royal Antwerp vs RFC Seraing Preview
Belgium, Belgian Pro League, Friday, September 16th, 19:45 (UK)
There’s a new force in Belgium’s top division. Equipped with a selection of well-known faces to the average European football fan, Royal Antwerp wades into their Friday evening clash with the fewest goals (5 in 8) in the Belgian Pro League.
A sturdy back line will do the Antwerp-based club well, providing a solid foundation for any title push. Nevertheless, there’s a reason why strikers often command hefty fees in the transfer market. Goals win you games, an area in which Mark van Bommel’s side is creating a flourishing habit, too. Summer recruit and former Spurs frontman Vincent Janssen has five goals to his name from the last four matches, whilst Jurgen Ekklenkamp, also not long through the door from the Bundesliga, tops the assists chart with four in five appearances.
Royal Antwerp vs RFC Seraing Best Bet
Things are clicking into gear in Antwerp, and there’s nothing to suggest RFC Seraing are the team to stop that. Third from bottom and conceding 2.0 goals per 90 – it may be a long evening ahead.
- Selection: Royal Antwerp Score Both Halves
- 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.
