Here we take a look at Smart Acca Picks for Wednesday’s action, with this one being a decent shot at 40/1 chosen by Smart Acca via the Free FA Betting Hub App.
This is a five-fold Match Result and Over 2.5 Goals accumulator, with fixtures coming from the League Cup, Championship, Bundesliga, AFCON and Scottish Premiership.
Fulham and Liverpool go head-to-head at Craven Cottage in the second leg of their League Cup semi-final.
The Cottagers have won just two of their last five matches, as following their 3-0 loss at Bournemouth on Boxing Day, they beat Arsenal 2-1 and AFC Bournemouth 1-0 before suffering 2-1 and 1-0 defeats to Liverpool and Chelsea.
Liverpool have won all of their last five matches, having beaten Burnley 2-0, Newcastle United 4-2 and Bournemouth 4-0 in the Premier League, while earning a 2-0 FA Cup win at Arsenal and a narrow 2-1 home win in the first leg of this semi-final against Fulham at Anfield.
Fourth faces eighth in the Championship tonight, as Leeds United host Norwich City at Elland Road.
Daniel Farke’s men have won all of their last four matches since losing 1-0 at West Brom on 29th December, having beaten Birmingham City, Peterborough United and Cardiff City by 3-0 scorelines, before earning a dramatic 2-1 win at home to Preston thanks to a 94th minute penalty from Joel Piroe.
Norwich will be no pushovers though, as they are on a five-game unbeaten run, having drawn 1-1 with Southampton and Bristol Rovers, before beating the Pirates 3-1 in an FA Cup replay at the Memorial Ground. In their last two league games, the Canaries have earned 2-1 and 2-0 victories over Hull City and West Bromwich Albion.
In the Bundesliga, Bayern Munich are looking to close down their seven-point gap to top-of-the-table Bayer Leverkusen when they face 15th-place Union Berlin on Wednesday night.
Thomas Tuchel’s side suffered a shock 1-0 loss at home to Werder Bremen on the weekend, ending a four-match winning run that had seen them beat Hoffenheim and Stuttgart by 3-0 scorelines, as well as Wolfsburg 2-1 and Manchester United 1-0.
Union Berlin will be encouraged by the fact that they’ve picked up points from three of their last four Bundesliga matches, as away from their 3-2 home defeat to Real Madrid in the Champions League, Union have beaten Borussia Monchengladbach 3-1, lost 3-0 at Bochum and defeated Koln 2-0 prior to a 0-0 away draw at Freiburg.
In the Africa Cup of Nations, Zambia and Morocco go head-to-head in Group F, with The Copper Bullets in need of a shock win to qualify, while Morocco are aiming to top the group.
Before the start of AFCON, Zambia played out a 1-1 draw with Cameroon in an international friendly - this scoreline has bizarrely stuck with them, as in Group F, they have drawn 1-1 with both the Democratic Republic of Congo, as well as Tanzania with Leicester City’s Patson Daka scoring against the latter-mentioned opponent.
Morocco were the pre-tournament favourites and certainly lived up to this reputation on matchday one, having thrashed Tanzania 3-0 thanks to goals from Romain Saiss, Azzedine Ounahi and Youssef En-Nesyri. Last time out, The Atlas Lions were held to a 1-1 draw by Congo as Silas Kitompa Mvumpa (Wamangituka) scored a 76th-minute equaliser for the Congo after Achraf Hakimi had given them a first-half lead.
The final game on this Smart Acca comes from the Scottish Premiership as Rangers travel to Hibernian in a bid to close their narrow down their eight-point gap to Celtic.
Hibs have been in suspect form of late, as following their 1-0 win over Livingston on 9th December, they suffered back-to-back 1-0 losses to St. Johnstone and Hearts before drawing 2-2 at home to Motherwell and scraping a 1-0 win at Forfar Athletic.
Rangers have won four of their last five fixtures, with the only blot on their copybook being a narrow 2-1 loss at Rangers. Pascal Jansen’s four victories come over the likes of St. Johnstone and Motherwell by 2-0 scorelines, as well as Kilmarnock 3-1 and Dumbarton 4-1.
As the EFL Championship draws to its conclusion, Ipswich Town and Huddersfield Town prepare for a pivotal clash this Saturday that has significant implications for both ends of the...
