After the hustle and bustle of the three o’clocks in England, Europe provides a selection of matches to turn our attention to. In this article, we’ll look into the biggest game in Germany, Rio Ave’s visit to Lisbon, and Lionel Messi’s jaunt to Reims.
In this article:
Germany, Bundesliga, Saturday, October 8th, 17:30 (UK)
The commanding win in Seville should be taken with a pinch of salt. An impressive scoreline against a side steeped in European pedigree, though this current Sevilla side are miles off it. Not quite what we’re used to seeing in Sunny Seville. That said, you can only beat what is in front of you, and Dortmund did that with aplomb.
The 1-4 win is perfect timing if you’re of a Dortmund persuasion. Bundesliga rivals Bayern Munich are next up, fresh from an imposing Champions League outing themselves. Viktoria Plzen of the Czech Republic were the hapless ensemble in question. An eleven nowhere near what was on show in the home dressing room were unable to produce much of a fight. Nevertheless, the Bavarian giants steamrolled to a comfortable win from Leroy Sané’s seventh-minute opener to the final whistle.
If, unlike Plzen, you think Dortmund command their share of chances at home, Jude Bellingham to register 2+ shots appears to be an attractive price. For someone on captain duties and averaging 2.62 shots per90 from 8.0 90s, Evens is a solid offering on bet365.
However, if you believe that this Bayern side is likely to dampen the advances of a Dortmund team not enjoying their best start to the Bundesliga season, maybe the proposed selection has legs. After all, Borussia Dortmund have lost their last eight competitive meetings with Bayern.
Jude Bellingham to record one attempt at goal has happened in 14/14 matches in which the young Englishmen has featured in 2022/23, including two international fixtures with the Three Lions. Bellingham’s presence at Dortmund is growing by the week, along with his performances. If they are to find joy, it’ll be through him, so expect him to command the ball in dangerous areas.
Bayern can continue their dominance over Dortmund despite a rocky start in the Bundesliga. Assume a similar story plays out over in Germany.

Portugal, Primeira Liga, Saturday, October 8th, 18:00 (UK)
Benfica leads Portugal’s top division in both points and corners taken after a solid start to the season. The Eagles’ 4.75 first-half average is complimented by the 5.75 corners taken after the break for corners-backers. On the other hand, Rio Ave ranks the highest in the league for corners conceded, with 6.63 conceded per90 on average.
It’s a decent match-up for flags, and if the averages are anything to go by, the proposed selection is value if Benfica can muster a performance worthy of three points. The PSG Champions League meeting will have zapped energy levels, though they can’t afford to take the foot off the gas as a lagging Sporting and Porto attempt to populate the top two again in the Primeira Liga.
By picking two corners in the first-half and three in the second, we leave ourselves a little leeway in case season trends fail to continue and drop off throughout the 90 minutes. With Benfica such heavy favourites at home, corners are likely the best way into the game here.
France, Ligue 1, Saturday, October 8th, 20:00 (UK)
Top of the tree travels to Reims, who languish at the wrong end of the table with six points in nine matches. The 8.7xG has them second from bottom with just Clermont for company, as quality goal-scoring opportunities in France’s top tier come in drip-fed fashion.
There isn’t a more opposing team to Reims and their current underlying numbers than the group from the capital. PSG are far from the relegation places, nearly tripling their opponents’ expected goals total with 23.5xG. As Christophe Galtier would hope, his PSG side also tallied the lowest expected goals-against figure in Ligue 1 with 6.8xGA. It will be a tough evening for Reims if the underlying metrics have anything to say for proceedings.
In all of PSG’s five away appearances this season, Kylian Mbappé and company have been winning half-time and full-time. Furthermore, the proposed selection has landed in 8/9 matches, falling short to only Monaco – the one occasion PSG failed to win this campaign.
At 1.90, it’s priced nicely for the Qatari-backed powerhouse to do so again.

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.
