Smart Acca Picks: Atletico Madrid vs Villarreal Offering Good Value

On Sunday, Napoli and Monza meet at the Diego Armando Maradona Stadium on matchday two of the Serie A season.

Napoli enters this match off the back of a thumping 5-2 victory away at Hellas Verona on the opening weekend of the season, as Khvicha Kvaratskhelia, Victor Osimhen, Piotr Zielinski, Stanislav Lobotka and Matteo Politano all got on the scoresheet.

Monza’s first game back in the Serie A following their promotion last season saw them suffer a narrow 2-1 loss at home to Torino as Aleksei Miranchuk and Antonio Sanabria both scored for the visitors, with Dany Mota’s late strike proving to be a mere consolation goal.

Sporting Braga will be looking to keep up their excellent goalscoring form when they face Maritimo on Sunday.

Carlos Carvahal’s side drew 3-3 away at Sporting Lisbon on the opening weekend of the season thanks to a late Abel Ruiz strike after Marcus Edward’s goal looked to have won the game in the 83rd minute for the away side. Last time out, Braga earned a comfortable 3-0 win over Famalicao.

Maritimo’s opening two fixtures have seen them suffer a heavy 5-1 loss away at FC Porto, as well as losing 2-1 to Chaves.

Atletico Madrid and Villarreal go head to head at the Wanda Metropolitano in what could be an intriguing tactical battle between Diego Simeone and Unai Emery.

Both of the last two meetings between these two have resulted in 2-2 draws which bodes well for the Over 2.5 Goals market.

Atletico enters this match off the back of a 3-0 away win at Getafe thanks to goals by Alvaro Morata (2) and Antoine Griezmann.

Meanwhile, Villarreal beat Real Valladolid 3-0 in their La Liga opener, before defeating Croatian outfit Hadjuk Split 4-2 at Estadio de la Ceramica as Jose Morales scored a brace, whilst Marko Livaja scored an own goal. Talismanic striker Gerard Moreno also got on the scoresheet for the Yellow Submarine.

Eintracht Frankfurt against FC. Koln is the next tip here, with both sides looking to improve on their starts to the season.

The home side started the season with a 4-0 win over Magdeburg in the DFB Pokal, but, in their first Bundesliga game of the season, were thrashed 6-1 at home by champions Bayern Munich before going on to draw 1-1 away at Hertha Berlin.

Koln have suffered some embarrassing losses in their opening four matches, having been knocked out on penalties by Jahn Regensburg in the DFB Pokal after a 2-2 draw, on top of losing 2-1 in Europa Conference League qualifying to Fehervar on either side of a 3-1 win over Schalke and a 2-2 draw with Leipzig.

Bochum against Bayern Munich is the final tip on this list, and one that provided plenty of action in the 2021/22 season.

Bayern hammered Bochum 7-0 at the Allianz Arena last season, before getting a taste of their own medicine last February, as Bochum pulled off a stunning 4-2 victory over the champions.

Bochum’s first two league fixtures have seen the Over 2.5 Goals market land, having lost 2-1 and 3-2 to Mainz and Hoffenheim.

Julian Nagelsmann’s side have been in irresistible form, as they beat RB Leipzig 5-3 in the DFB Supercup, before thumping Eintracht Frankfurt 6-1 and defeating Wolfsburg 2-0 last time out.
