Smart Acca Picks: Arsenal vs Man Utd Could Provide Plenty of Goals

The first tip on this list comes from La Liga, where second-place Real Madrid travels to San Mames to face eight place Athletic Bilbao.

Bilbao enters this match in inconsistent form, with their last two victories coming in the Copa del Rey over Espanyol 1-0 and Eldense 6-1. Their league form has been poor of late, having drawn 0-0 with both Real Betis and Osasuna while losing 3-1 in their derby match with Real Sociedad.

Real managed to bounce back from a 2-1 league defeat by Villarreal to beat the Yellow Submarine 3-2 in the Copa del Rey last time out thanks to goals by Vinicius Junior, Eder Militao and Dani Ceballos. Prior to this, Carlo Ancelotti’s men managed to beat Cacereno 1-0, Real Valladolid 2-0 and Cadiz 2-1.

In the Dutch Eredivisie, AZ Alkmaar and Fortuna Sittard meet in a battle of second against 12th.

AZ have managed three wins in their last five outings, having beaten Heerenveen 2-0, PSV 1-0 and Dnipro 2-1, while their other two matches have resulted in a 1-1 draw with Vitesse and a 3-1 away loss against RKC Waalwijk.

Fortuna have been in poor form of late, although they did draw 2-2 at home to PSV in their last match as Burak Yilmaz netted a 99th-minute equaliser. Prior to this, they had lost 2-0 to Go Ahead Eagles after beating Groningen 3-2, while also losing 1-0 and 3-1 to Emmen and Sparta Rotterdam.

Kayserispor and Besiktas go head to head in the Turkish Super Lig on Sunday which is a meeting of eighth against fifth in the standings.

The home side managed to end a four-game losing streak last time out having hammered relegation-battling Sivasspor 4-1 at home as ex-Newcastle United midfielder Olivier Kemen scored a brace. Before this, they had lost 2-1, 4-2, 3-1 and 2-1 to Ankaragucu, Fatih Karagumruk, Alanyaspor and Konyaspor.

On the other hand, Besiktas ended a two-game winless run with three wins in a row, as after a 2-1 defeat to Galatasaray and 1-1 draw with Gaziantep, they have managed 1-0 and two 2-1 victories over Adina Demirspor, Kasimpasa and Konyaspor.

In the Swiss Super League, St. Gallen and Basel meet with the away side looking to move above the hosts, as the 20 times champions of Switzerland are fifth in the league standings after 16 matches.

St. Gallen enters this game having drawn 3-3 with Luzern and 1-1 with Servette, before a shock 1-0 defeat to Winterthur and back-to-back 2-1 and 7-2 wins against Grasshopper and Sion.

Basel’s 1-0 away defeat to Grasshopper ended a three-match unbeaten run having defeated Luzern 2-0 and Pyunik 2-1 on either side of a 0-0 draw at home to Sion.

The final game on this list sees Premier League leaders Arsenal host third-place Manchester United at the Emirates Stadium, with eight points separating the duo ahead of their match on Sunday.

Mikel Arteta’s men have won four of their last five matches, following 3-1 and 4-2 victories over West Ham and Brighton before a 0-0 draw with Newcastle. Since their stalemate with the Magpies, the Gunners have defeated Oxford United 3-0 and Tottenham 2-0.

United’s 1-1 draw with Crystal Palace ended their nine-match winning run, however, in their match at Selhurst Park, they saw Casemiro pick up a yellow card, meaning that he is suspended for this match. Erik ten Hag’s men had beaten Manchester City 2-1, as well as Charlton and Bournemouth 3-0 on either side of a 3-1 win against Everton in the FA Cup.
