Here we take a look at Smart Acca Picks for Wednesday’s action, with this one being a long shot at around 476/1 chosen by Smart Acca via the Free FA Betting Hub App.
This is a Match Result and Over 2.5 Goals accumulator and is a five-fold featuring games from the UEFA Champions League, National League and the Cypriot First Division.
The first game on this list comes from AC Milan against Napoli in the Champions League’s quarter-finals.
Stefano Pioli’s side have been struggling for form of late, with their stunning 4-0 win over Wednesday’s opponents on 2nd April being a firm reminder of the quality that they have. Since then, they have drawn 0-0 with Empoli and prior to this, the Rossoneri had been beaten 3-1 away at Udinese and drew 1-1 and 0-0 with Salernitana and Tottenham.
The only blot on Napoli’s copybook is their 4-0 loss to AC, something they will be desperate to avenge. Since then, Luciano Spaletti’s men have gone on to beat Lecce 2-1, carrying on the form they had prior to their meeting with the Rosonneri, having comfortably beaten Torino 4-0, Eintracht Frankfurt 3-0 and Atalanta 2-0 in the run-up to their last encounter.
Real Madrid and Chelsea go head to head, with Carlo Ancelotti meeting one of his former players, Frank Lampard when taking to the dug-out on Wednesday night.
Ancelotti’s men are looking to retain their crown in this competition, having buckled under pressure in La Liga since their 1-0 win over Liverpool in the Round of 16. Los Blancos have suffered 2-1 and 3-2 defeats to Barcelona and Villarreal on either side of 6-0 and 4-0 wins over Real Valladolid and Barcelona, with the latter victory being in the Copa del Rey.
On the other hand, Lampard’s shock return to the club didn’t go as planned in his first game back as Blues manager, having overseen his side lose 1-0 away at Wolves. Prior to this, the Stamford Bridge club had drawn 0-0 and 2-2 with Liverpool and Everton on either side of a 2-0 defeat to Aston Villa, meaning that their last win was by a 3-1 scoreline against Leicester on 11th March.
In the Cypriot First Division, Anorthosis and Akritas take on one another in a battle between second and eighth in the Relegation Group.
The home side are in decent form of late, as since their 2-0 loss to Aris Limassol, they went on to beat Doxa 3-1 and Olympiakos Nicosia 2-1 before drawing 4-4 with Nea Salamis and beating AEL 2-0.
Akritas are in abysmal form, as on either side of 2-1 losses to Doxa, they have been beaten by Nea Salamis and could only draw 2-2 with Enosis and AEL.
Wednesday night sees Eastleigh and Gateshead face off in a battle of seventh and 16th in the National League.
Eastleigh will be looking to find some form in order to avoid missing out on the play-offs, as since their 3-2 win over Altrincham on 18th March, they have drawn 0-0 and 3-3 with Boreham Wood and Aldershot Town on either side of a 2-0 loss away at Torquay.
Gateshead are in terrific form, as they have won five matches in a row, defeating Altrincham 1-0, Scunthorpe United 2-0, Yeovil Town 4-0, Dagenham & Redbridge 3-0 and Aldershot Town 3-2, propelling themselves away from the relegation zone in emphatic fashion.
The final game on this list comes from Karmiotissa versus AEL in the Cypriot First Division, which is another Relegation Group clash, this time, between fifth and third place.
Karmiotissa have been in poor form since their 2-1 win over Enosis, having been beaten 2-0 by both Doxa and Olympiakos Nicosia, as well as 1-0 by Nea Salamis.
Meanwhile, AEL were beaten 2-0 at home by Anorthosis, but, have shown some promise of late, drawing 2-2 with Akritas and beaten Nea Salamis 3-2 with ex-Fulham man Alexander Kacaniklic scoring a brace in the former, while Kevin Mirallas scored a brace in the latter mentioned match.
On Saturday (23/11/24) Manchester City and Tottenham Hotspur go head-to-head at the Etihad Stadium in what is expected to be an intense Premier League showdown. This is your chanc...
