Smart Acca Picks: AS Monaco vs PSG Could Provide Plenty of Goals

The first tip on this list comes from the FIFA Club World Cup, where Real Madrid takes on Al Hilal of the Saudi Pro League.

Carlo Ancelotti’s men have been in inconsistent form of late, as following their 3-1 win over Atletico Madrid in the Copa de Rey, they drew 0-0 with Real Sociedad, before beating Valencia 2-0 and losing 1-0 to Mallorca. Last time out, Los Blancos managed a 4-1 win over Al Ahly in the Club World Cup as Vinicius Junior, Federico Valverde, Rodrygo and Sergio Arribas all got on the scoresheet.

Al Ahly managed an impressive 3-2 win over Copa Libertadores champions Flamengo in the semi-finals of this competition, as Saudi Arabia World Cup star Salem Aldawsari scored a brace, while Luciano Vietto also got on the scoreboard, with Pedro’s brace for Flamengo being mere consolation goals.

National League promotion-chasers Wrexham face 10th in the table Wealdstone at the Racecourse Ground.

Last time out, Wrexham were beaten by Championship outfit Sheffield United 3-1 in the FA Cup after drawing the initial match 3-3 at home. Their league form has been good of late, having defeated Altrincham 2-1, Gateshead 3-0 and Maidstone United 3-2.

Wealdstone have won two of their last five matches in the National League, defeating both Dagenham & Redbridge and Eastleigh by 1-0 and 3-1 scorelines. On top of this, they were involved in two goalless draws with Yeovil Town and Maidenhead on either side of a 2-1 home defeat to Gateshead.

AS Monaco against PSG could be a very entertaining affair on Saturday in Ligue 1, as fourth hosts first, with ten points separating the pair in the standings.

The home side have managed three wins in their last five matches, firstly beating Ajaccio 7-1 in between 2-2 and 1-1 draws with Lorient and Marseille, before defeating Auxerre 3-2 and Clermont Foot 2-0.

PSG were knocked out of the Coupe de France last time out by Marseille, losing the match 2-1. This was a bitterly disappointing result for Christophe Galtier’s men as they had beaten Pays de Cassel 7-0, drawn 1-1 with Reims and beaten both Montpellier 3-1 and Toulouse 2-1 in the run-up to this fixture.

The M23 derby takes place on Saturday as Crystal Palace faces Brighton & Hove Albion at Selhurst Park.

Palace are without a win in their last five matches, following 2-1 losses to Manchester United and Southampton on either side of a 1-0 loss to Chelsea, and 1-1 and 0-0 draws with the Red Devils and Newcastle.

Meanwhile, Brighton are sixth in the table and have won four of their last five games. The Seagulls have beaten Middlesbrough 5-1, Liverpool 3-0 and 2-1 as well as Bournemouth 1-0 since the start of January, while also drawing 2-2 away at Leicester City.

In the fifth round of the Scottish Cup, Celtic goes up against St. Mirren with Ange Postecoglou’s men coming in as firm favourites.

Celtic are in scintillating form, having won all of their last five fixtures, beating the likes of St. Mirren 4-0, Greenock Morton 5-0, Dundee United 2-0, as well as Livingston 3-0 and St. Johnstone 4-1.

On the other hand, St. Mirren have found some form since being hammered 4-0 by Celtic, having beaten Dundee on penalties in the last round of the Scottish Cup after a 0-0 draw, before earning 1-0 and 3-1 victories over Motherwell and Aberdeen prior to a 1-0 loss to Hibernian.
