Smart Acca Picks: Lens, Melbourne City and NAC Breda Offering Good Value

Here we take a look at Smart Acca Picks for Friday's action, with this one being a long shot at around 625/1 chosen by Smart Acca via the Free FA Betting Hub App.

This is a Match Result & BTTS accumulator and is a five-fold featuring games from the Eerste Divisie, Ligue 1, A-League and more.

The first pick comes from the Norwegian Eliteserien that sees Lillestrom travel to Odd where both sides are locked next to each other on nine points.

According to the Smart Acca, 44.4% of games this season have seen both teams score and Lillestrom win with not a single game this season seeing Odd win a game after conceding a goal. In fact, quite incredibly, they have scored just three times and let in two goals from six games.

At the same time, Lillestrom have been involved in 11 goals scored and 11 conceded too, and they have won three and lost two. Ultimately, when they play, goals are expected, and no side in Norway's top flight has been involved in more goals than them (22) from the first six games.

It's a massive game in the A-League to kick of Friday's football action around the world with Sydney welcoming Melbourne City to the Sydney Football Stadium in the first of a two-legged semi-finals affair.

Melbourne finished top of the A-League this season with 55 points and an 11-point gap on second place. They also netted 61 goals in the season and head into this one off the back of 42.3% of their 16 wins in the league ending with both teams scoring and them winning.

Former Reading star, Adam Le Fondre, scored 15 times this season for Sydney, just as ex-Hibernian man, Jamie Maclaren, netted 24 times for the league winners.

Moreover, there were 12 shots on target in the reverse fixture and given how this is a huge semi-finals battle, we expect a similar outcome.

Lens are back into second in Ligue 1 after a stunning 2-1 victory over Marseille last weekend and it now means they sit just six behind the league leaders, Paris Saint-Germain. They have also now scored 57 times and netted in every single one of their games in 2023 so far - their last failure to score came in late 2022 away to Nice.

This has seen both teams score and Lens win come in 28.9% of the time this season, and against Will Still's Reims, the second-placed Ligue 1 side will have a tricky test.

Reims defeated fifth-placed Lille last weekend in what was Lille's first loss in almost two months. Still's men have now won 12 games this season and scored 41 times, and with them back in the win column, we expect goals in this one.

NAC Breda have now scored 63 times and let in 49 from the 36 games in the Netherlands' second tier, meaning only the top two have been involved in more goals. Inside that top two sits Heracles, as they have won 25 games and scored a stunning 98 times this season.

In fact, you have to go all the way back to October to see the last time they failed to score - they have lost seven times since that day too.

According to the Smart Acca, 34.3% of NAC's games this season have ended with both teams scoring and them winning, and they are also on a six-game unbeaten run that has seen them win five games, score 14 times and let in five.

Sticking with the Eerste Divisie and we have second-placed PEC Zwolle looking to move into first place, as they sit behind Heracles on goals difference ahead of their match with Roda.

30.6% of games this season have seen Zwolle win and concede at least one goal too, and they only sit adrift of top spot because they have netted 93 goals compared to Heracles' 98.

Roda have also scored in eight of their past 10 games, despite losing six of those. Simply put, despite sitting so far down the table, the club tend to get at least a goal in most games.
