Here we take a look at Smart Acca Picks for Saturday’s action, with this one being a decent shot at 62/1 chosen by Smart Acca via the Free FA Betting Hub App.
This is a five-fold to Score in Each Half accumulator, with fixtures coming from FA Cup, Scottish Cup, La Liga, DFB Pokal and Belgian Pro League.
The first game on this Boosted Smart Acca comes from the FA Cup final as Manchester City go head-to-head with local rivals Manchester United.
City have scored in both halves in four of their last five matches, with the only anomaly being in their 2-0 away win over Tottenham Hotspur. Pep Guardiola’s side have achieved a goal in each half during 2-0, 5-1, 4-0 and 3-1 victories over Nottingham Forest, Wolves, Fulham and West Ham United.
Erik ten Hag’s men were soundly beaten 3-1 and 3-0 by Manchester City in their league meetings during the 2023/24 Premier League season. United have conceded eight goals in their last five matches.
The Old Firm Derby takes place on Saturday as old foes Celtic and Rangers meet at Hampden Park in the Scottish Cup Final.
Celtic are in superb form heading into this game, as they’ve won all of their last five matches, beating St. Mirren 3-2, Kilmarnock 5-0, Rangers 2-1, Hearts 3-0 and Dundee 2-1, scoring in both halves in four of these matches.
Rangers have failed to beat Celtic in any of their four meetings this campaign, suffering a 1-0 defeat, two 2-1 losses and memorably playing out a 3-3 draw with the Hoops on 7th April at Ibrox. The Gers defence has proved to be leaky of late, having drawn 3-3 at Hearts after beating Dundee 5-2.
Real Sociedad go up against Atlético Madrid in La Liga on Saturday, with both sides’ positions of sixth and fourth places already confirmed.
When these two sides last met back in September, Atletico won the match 2-1 at the Wanda Metropolitano thanks to a 22nd-minute goal from Samuel Lino and an 89th-minute penalty from Antoine Griezmann.
Diego Simeone’s men will be keen to impress after their heavy 4-1 home defeat to Osasuna last time out. Before that game, Atleti had scored in each half in two of their last four matches, having beaten Getafe 3-0 and Athletic Club 3-1.
The DFB Pokal final pits 13th in 2. Bundesliga Kaiserslautern against German champions Bayer Leverkusen.
Leverkusen’s 50 game unbeaten run came to an end when they were beaten 3-0 by Atalanta in the Europa League final.
Kaiserslautern have been shaky in defence, as they’ve conceded 64 goals in 34 second tier matches, while Leverkusen’s attack has been ferocious against German opposition, as prior to their recent 2-1 home with over Augsburg, they thrashed Bochum 5-0 and Eintracht Frankfurt 5-1, achieving a goal in each half against the two latterly mentioned opposition.
Europa Conference League Play-off leaders Gent face off against third in the group Sint-Truiden in the Belgian Pro League.
Four of Gent’s last five matches have seen them score in each half, having beaten Standard Liege 4-1, Mechelen 4-2, Westerlo 3-2 and Sint-Truiden 2-0.
Gent have the second-best attack in the Belgian Pro League as they’ve scored 78 times in 39 matches, a record only bettered by Club Brugge. They will be optimistic of scoring in each half against a Sint-Truiden side that has leaked 59 goals in 39 matches.
Brazil is expected to be comfortable favourites against a Paraguay team whose Copa America campaign is likely to end early. Brazil has plenty of attacking options available and wil...
