Here we take a look at football accumulator tips for Friday's action, with this one being a 10/1 shot chosen by our teams at FootyAccumulators.
This accumulator is a six-fold featuring matches from the German Bundesliga, the Spanish Segunda División and the Dutch Eerste Divisie.
The first game of Friday's accumulator comes from the Chinese Super League as Shandong Taishan take on Qingdao Hainiu in a game we're backing the home side to win.
Shandong Taishan are coming into this game amidst a fine run of form having won four of their last five matches.
Qingdao Hainiu, conversely, have won just one of their last four and will likely be outgunned here.
Our next selection is a both teams to score pick from the Dutch Eerste Divisie as VVV face NAC Breda.
Both of these sides have been reliable BTTS picks in recent matches with both VVV and MAC Breda having seen both sides find the back of the net in four of their last five games.
Given BTTS has also occurred in each of the last six meetings between these two sides we're backing it to land again here.
We have another both teams to score selection from the Dutch Eerste Divisie next as Ajax II take on Emmen.
Ajax II and Emmen have both been in good BTTS form in recent matches with both sides having registered on the scoresheet in four of both Ajax II and Emmen's last five games.
With BTTS having occurred in the last meeting between these two sides we're backing it to land again here.
Our third and final both teams to score pick again comes from the Eerste Divisie, this time from the game between Den Bosch and MVV.
MVV have been a very reliable BTTS pick in recent weeks having seen both sides find the back of the net in four of their last five games.
Likewise, BTTS has occurred in three of Den Bosch's last five games and considering BTTS has occurred in each of the last three meetings between these two we think this one should throw up a few goals.
Our penultimate pick comes from the Bundesliga as we're backing Bayern München to beat Bayer Leverkusen.
Bayern München have started the season in great form, winning all of their first three games.
While Bayer Leverkusen are also in good form, Thomas Tuchel's men are the league title favourite and have home advantage for this encounter so they should get the job done.
Last but not least we're backing Real Zaragoza to overcome Racing Santander in the in the Spanish Segunda División.
Real Zaragoza come into this game in excellent form as they sit top of the league having won each of their last five games.
Racing have won just two of their last five games and should fall short in this one.
Defensively, Manchester City have been better than their opponents in recent weeks, with Leicester City failing to keep a clean sheet in their previous 12, compared to five for Manchester City. The Citizens have won the last four meetings between the two sides, with the hosts last recording a victory over Manchester City in 2020.
With four defeats from their last five in the league, Spurs' league form is really poor. Even on home soil, they're struggling, with Ange Postecoglou's men winless in their last four league games at home, with three of those games ending in defeat. Following the arrival of manager Vítor Pereira, Wolves have won both of their last two games by a combined scoreline of 5-0, and it looks as though they're amidst a new manager bounce.
