Smart Acca Picks: Man City, MLS and Championship Playoffs Make Good Value

Manchester City vs Real Madrid - City to win and BTTS (2/1)

It's the second leg of the Champions League semi-finals between Manchester City and Real Madrid with the tie locked at 1-1. In fact, that clash back in Madrid last week was the sixth time these two have both scored in a game with eight of their nine matches in history seeing both sides net.

Last season at the Etihad in the semi-finals, City ran out 4-3 winners in a thrilling encounter with the La Liga giants. It was also the third time the Premier League champions have beaten Real in the nine games, drawing three other matches and losing the other three.

City will also practically have a fully fit squad heading into the game with only Nathan Ake unavailable through injury. Erling Haaland - despite asking to get substituted against Everton - is fit to play and comes in search of his 53rd goal of the season.

Toronto vs New York Red Bulls - BTTS and a draw (7/2)

What a terrible season it has been for both New York Red Bulls and Toronto with the two clubs sitting in the bottom two of the Eastern Conference, despite heading into the 2023 campaign with a lot of hope.

Coming into this one, it's Toronto who sit in last place but only on goals difference. Both sides have collected just 12 points in the league so far with 13 goals scored and 17 let in for Toronto, while the Red Bulls have bagged eight and conceded 11.

Both sides have won two, drawn six and lost four, and Toronto are yet to win a game when the other team have scored. This market has only happened in 8.3% of games this season for the Red Bulls, meaning a draw and both teams scoring has happened in 37.5% of games for the two.

Charlotte vs Chicago Fire - BTTS and a draw (7/2)

Charlotte registered arguably their best win of the season last time out in a 3-1 win away at Atlanta United to keep the club above Chicago Fire in the table. In fact, just like the game above, both these two sides are right by one another in the table and just ahead of the Red Bulls and Toronto.

According to the Smart Acca, a draw and both teams scoring has happened in 30.4% of games for these two with five draws for the Fire and three for Charlotte so far.

At the same time, only Atlanta, Charlotte and Philadelphia Union have been involved in more goals than Chicago this season, while only Atlanta has seen more goals in its games than Charlotte's 38.

For the third time in just under two weeks, Coventry City and Middlesbrough are set to clash with this being the most important of the three outings. They met on the final day of the season in the Championship which saw them draw 1-1 after a goal each in the first half.

The first leg of this Championship playoffs affair ended in a dull 0-0 that saw just one yellow card and only four combined shots on target across the game.

Across the season, 28.6% of games for Boro in all competitions saw them win and both teams scoring with them netting an incredible 84 goals in the Championship - only Burnley scored more.

Philadelphia Union vs D.C. United - Union to win and BTTS (11/4)

Philadelphia are finally beginning to look more like the team that won the Eastern Conference title last year after winning the past three games in MLS that has seen them also score seven goals.

The Union have now won five times and scored 17 goals in 11 games. What's more, with a game in hand, the club could move into third if it wins that match.

Wayne Rooney's D.C. United continue to have a topsy-turvy season with 16 goals scored and 16 let in. In fact, they've had just one 0-0 this season and they head into this game having only failed to score in three MLS games this year.

According to the Smart Acca, 27.3% of games this year have ended with Philadelphia winning and both teams scoring.
