Smart Acca Picks: Wolves vs Liverpool Providing Plenty of Value

The first game on this list sees Westerlo take on Genk in the Belgian Pro League.

At present, Westerlo are seventh in the table and enters this match in decent form, as before their 2-1 loss to OH Leuven, they had beaten Cercle Brugge and KV Oostende 1-0 and 6-0 after drawing with Royal Antwerp 3-3 and Union Saint-Gilloise 1-1.

Genk are seven points clear at the top of the table and have lost just one of their last five matches, doing so 1-0 away at Kortrijk. This was uncharacteristic of Genk, as they have managed 1-0, 3-1, 2-0 and 4-1 victories over Zulte Waregem, Club Brugge, Anderlecht and Sporting Charleroi in their last five fixtures.

In the Coppa Italia, Napoli hosts Cremonese with Luciano Spaletti’s men coming in as firm favourites to progress.

Prior to the World Cup, Napoli managed 2-0 and 3-2 wins over Empoli and Udinese, since then, they suffered their first league defeat of the season to Inter Milan, losing 1-0 at the San Siro, but, the Naples club have managed to bounce back in style, beating Sampdoria 2-0 and thrashing Juventus 5-1 last time out as Victor Osimhen (2), Khvicha Kvaratskhelia, Amir Rrahmani and Elif Elmas all got on the scoresheet.

Cremonese are in poor form heading into this tie, with their 0-0 draw at home to AC Milan in early November being the last time they avoided defeat. The visitors have been beaten 2-0 by both Empoli and Hellas Verona since, as well as 1-0 and 3-2 by Juventus and Monza.

West Brom and Chesterfield meet for their Third Round FA Cup replay after their thrilling 3-3 draw at the Technique Stadium.

Prior to their FA Cup tie, Carlos Corberan’s men had beaten Bristol City and Preston by 2-0 scorelines, as well as beating Reading 1-0 and Luton Town 3-2 on either side of their match against the Spireites.

Chesterfield haven’t played since they drew 3-3 with the Baggies, however, they had beaten Dorking Wanderers 3-1, Scunthorpe United 2-1 and 4-1 in the run-up to the return fixture.

Accrington versus Boreham Wood is another FA Cup replay that takes place on Tuesday night, the Stanley coming in as favourites having been held to a 1-1 draw at Meadow Park.

Since then, Accrington have beaten Lincoln City on penalties in the EFL Trophy after a 2-2 draw, as well as Bristol Rovers 2-0 at the Crown Ground. This is a stark turnaround in form, having lost 2-0 to Morecambe and 4-0 to Derby in the run-up to their previous meeting with Boreham Wood.

Boreham Wood have drawn all of their last three matches 1-1, having done so against Notts County, Accrington and Barnet. Prior to this, they had actually lost 2-1 to Barnet on Boxing Day and beaten Oldham Athletic 2-1.

The final match on this list sees Wolves and Liverpool go head to head at Molineux, with the FA Cup holders desperate to progress following some poor results of late.

Wolves have shown a lot of resilience under Julen Lopetegui, as since their 1-0 loss at home to Manchester United, they have drawn 1-1 with Aston Villa, 2-2 with Liverpool, before exiting the EFL Cup to Nottingham Forest on penalties after a 1-1 draw, and even managed a 1-0 win over West Ham last time out thanks to a Daniel Podence goal.

Liverpool returned to league action after the World Cup in decent fashion, beating Aston Villa 3-1 and Leicester 2-1, however, since then, Jurgen Klopp’s men have suffered humiliating 3-1 and 3-0 losses to Brentford and Brighton on either side of their 2-2 draw with Wolves in the FA Cup, where Toti Gomes controversially had a goal ruled out for offside due to a lack of camera angles for the VAR system at Anfield.
