Smart Acca Picks: Montpellier vs PSG Could be One to Watch

The first tip on this list comes from the Turkish Super Lig where Galatasaray faces Umraniyespor in a battle between top and bottom of the table.

Galatasaray have won all of their last five matches, having defeated Ankaragucu and Antalyaspor by 2-1 scorelines, as well as Hatayspor 4-0, Giresunspor 4-0 and Fenerbahce 3-0.

On the other hand, Umranyaspor have lost their last three matches to Antalyaspor 3-2, Fenerbahce 2-1 and Istanbulspor 2-0, having previously beaten Giresunspor 1-0 and drawn 2-2 at home to Hatayspor.

Montpellier and PSG meet for the first time since the Parisian’s emphatic 5-2 victory over the hosts at the Parc des Princes back in August.

La Paillade managed a 2-0 win away at Auxerre last time out thanks to a brace from 24-year-old English striker Stephy Mavididi. Prior to this, they had been beaten 3-0 by Nantes, as well as 6-1 to Nice after back-to-back 2-1 losses to Pau and Olympique Marseille.

PSG drew 1-1 with Reims last time out as Folarin Balogun scored a stoppage-time equaliser after Neymar had put the hosts in front prior to Marco Verratti receiving a red card. Christophe Galtier’s men had thumped Pays de Cassel 7-0 in the Coupe de France, bouncing back from a 1-0 loss away at Rennes. Before their recent inconsistencies in form, the champions of France had beaten Angers 2-0 and Chateauroux 3-1.

Second in the table Lens hosts tenth place Nice at Estadio Bollaert-Delelis.

Lens, who are three points behind PSG in the table have won three of their last five games, following 2-0, 1-0 and 3-1 victories over Linas-Montlhery, Auxerre and Brest, while their other matches have resulted in 2-2 and 1-1 draws with Strasbourg and Troyes.

Nice’s form has picked up since the sacking of Lucien Favre, as following 2-1 and 1-0 losses to Rennes and Le Puy Foot, Nice have gone on to thrash Montpellier 6-1, before drawing 0-0 with Reims and beating Lille 1-0 last time out as Gaetan Laborde scored the only goal of the game in the 34th minute.

Celtic will be looking to extend their nine-point gap to Rangers when they take on fourth-place Livingston at Celtic Park on Wednesday night.

Ange Postecoglou’s side have won all of their last five matches, having defeated Kilmarnock twice by 2-0 scorelines, as well as Dundee United by the same score last time out thanks to goals from Jota and Aaron Mooy. On top of this the Hoops have also beaten St. Mirren 4-0 and Greenock Morton 5-0.

Meanwhile, David Martindale’s men are unbeaten in their last five outings and could provide an awkward test, having drawn 1-1 and 0-0 with Motherwell and Hearts on either side of 2-0, 4-2 and 3-1 victories against Ross County, St Johnstone and Stenhousemuir.

The final game on this list sees RB Leipzig and Hoffenheim go head to head at the Red Bull Arena in the DFB Pokal.

Leipzig are in superb form of late, while both teams have scored in each of their last five outings, following 3-1, 2-1, 6-1 and 2-1 victories against Freiburg, Werder Bremen, Schalke 04 and Stuttgart. On top of this, Leipzig also drew 1-1 at home with Bayern Munich. This form has seen Marco Rose’s men close the gap to Bayern to just two points in the Bundesliga.

Hoffenheim are in poor form heading into this cup tie, hence why they are 13th in the Bundesliga standings. André Breitenreiter’s men have lost four of their last five matches, doing so to Eintracht Frankfurt 4-2, Wolfsburg 2-1, Union Berlin 3-1 and Borussia Monchengladbach 4-1. Their other result in this sequence saw Hoffenheim manage a 2-2 home draw with Stuttgart as Andrej Kramaric completed a brace in the 94th minute to rescue a draw.
