This is a five-fold Match Result and Both Teams to Score accumulator, with fixtures coming from the Premier League, Ligue 1, German Bundesliga and Liga NOS.
The first tip on this list comes from FC Porto against Arouca, with Sérgio Conceição’s men looking to extend their perfect start to the season.
So far, all of Porto’s matches have seen the Both Teams to Score market land, having beaten Moreirense, Farense and Rio Ave by 2-1 scorelines. When Porto met Arouca at the Estadio do Dragao last season, they thrashed their opponents 5-1 thanks to goals by Otavio, Mehdi Taremi (3) and an own goal from Jerome Opoku.
Arouca’s season has been disappointing so far, having been dumped out of the Europa Conference League in the qualifiers by Norwegian outfit Brann following a 3-1 away loss after a 2-1 home victory. In terms of domestic form, Arouca have managed a 4-3 win at home to Estoril, before back-to-back 2-2 and 1-1 draws with Vizela and Portimonense.
Toulouse goes up against Clermont Foot on Sunday in a game where the visitors will be looking to get off the mark in terms of points.
Damien Comolli’s men have had a respectable start to the season, having managed to earn four points from their opening three matches following a 2-1 victory at Nantes, before drawing 1-1 with PSG and losing 2-0 away to Strasbourg.
Meanwhile, Clermont were on the wrong end of a six-goal thriller with AS Monaco on the opening weekend, succumbing to a 4-2 defeat, before losing further matches to Reims and Metz by 2-0 and 1-0 scorelines.
A heavyweight clash in Liga NOS takes place on Sunday as Sporting Braga and Sporting Lisbon meet at Braga Municipal Stadium.
The home side managed to qualify for this season’s Champions League group stages via a 3-1 aggregate win over Panathinaikos. Prior to this achievement, Braga had managed 4-2 and 4-1 victories over Chaves and TSC following a shock 2-1 home defeat to Famalicao.
Sporting have had a superb start to the season, as Ruben Amorim’s men have won all of their first three matches, beating Vizela 3-2, Casa Pia 2-1 and Famalicao 1-0.

Jurgen Klopp’s men drew 1-1 away at Chelsea on the opening day, before beating Bournemouth 3-1 at Anfield prior to the Reds' dramatic 2-1 win away at Newcastle where despite seeing Virgil van Dijk sent off in the 28th minute, just moments after Anthony Gordon had put the Magpies into the lead, Darwin Nunez came on as a late second-half substitute and turned the game on its head by scoring in the 81st and 93rd minutes.
Villa’s 5-1 loss away at Newcastle has been put well behind them, with Unai Emery’s men going on to beat Everton 4-0 and Burnley 3-1 in the Premier League while hammering Hibernian 5-0 and 3-0 to seal their place in the Europa Conference League group stages.
The final game on this list should be another fascinating contest, as Union Berlin takes on RB Leipzig at Stadion An der Alten Forsterei.
Union have won all of their last three meetings with Leipzig by 2-1 scorelines and enter this match in great form, having beaten Astoria Walldorf 4-0 in the DFB Pokal before thrashing Mainz and Darmstadt by 4-1 scorelines.
Leipzig’s first two Bundesliga matches have seen them show slight frailties in defence, having lost their opening league game by a 3-2 scoreline to Bayer Leverkusen, before hammering Stuttgart 5-1 at the Red Bull Arena thanks to goals from Benjamin Henrichs, Daniel Olmo, Lois Openda, Kevin Kampl and Xavi Simons.
