Here we take a look at Smart Acca Picks for Friday’s action, with this one being a long shot at around 835/1 chosen by Smart Acca via the Free FA Betting Hub App.
This is a Match Result and Both Teams to Score accumulator and is a five-fold featuring games from International friendlies, Danish Superliga, Swedish Allsvenskan and the Chinese Super League.
The first tip on this list comes from an international friendly match between Luxembourg and Malta, with this being a match-up of 91st and 172nd in FIFA’s World Rankings.
Luxembourg were thrashed 6-0 by Portugal back in late March, however, this was off the back of a four-game unbeaten run, having drawn 0-0 with Slovakia after 0-0 and 2-2 draws with Bulgaria and Hungary. Their last victory came during the Nations League last September as they beat Lithuania 1-0 via a goal from Gerson Rodrigues.
Malta failed to win any of their last four matches since earning a shock 2-1 win over Israel back in September. The visitors managed a reputable 2-2 draw with Greece in November before suffering 1-0, 2-1 and 2-0 losses to the Republic of Ireland, North Macedonia and Italy.
In the Danish Superliga, fourth in the Championship Group, Viborg faces top of the Relegation Group FC Midtjylland.
The home side have only managed one win since being thrashed 3-0 away at AGF in early May, having beaten Randers 2-0 in their next fixture, before drawing 1-1 and 0-0 with Brondby and Nordsjaelland on either side of a 2-1 loss to FC Kobenhavn.
Midtjylland have been on a good run of form since suffering a surprise 2-1 defeat away at Lyngby, having beaten Horsens 3-1 and Aalborg 2-0 before drawing 3-3 at Silkeborg and defeating OB 4-2 in their last outing.
10th in the table Hammarby faces off against 5th-placed Brommapojkarna, with the home side looking for a result to kickstart what has been a poor start to their campaign.
Hammarby have won just one of their last five matches, earning their sole win via a 4-3 scoreline at home to Djurgarden, before drawing 1-1 with Goteborg, as well as 2-2 and 0-0 with Degerfors and Halmstad on either side of a 2-0 loss to Varnamo.
Brommapojkarna have won three of their last four outings since drawing 0-0 with Goteborg, having beaten Kalmar 3-1 and Varberg 2-1 before suffering a 2-1 loss to Sirius. In their last match, Olof Melberg’s men managed a 2-0 win away at Norrkoping.
Bottom of the table Dalian Pro hosts fifth in the table Beijing Guoan at Workers’ Stadium on Friday in the Chinese Super League.
Dalian are in incredibly poor form, having lost all of their last five matches as they have been beaten by Shenzhen and Zhejiang by 2-1 scorelines, as well as 1-0 by both Henan and Tianjin Jinmen Tiger before suffering a 2-0 loss to Shandong Taishan with ex-Manchester United man Marouane Fellaini scoring the opener for their opponents in Dalian’s last match.
Meanwhile, Beijing have won three of their last five matches, having beaten Nantong Zhiyun 1-0 before drawing 1-1 with Shanghai Shenhua 1-1 prior to 6-2 and 4-3 victories against Cangzhou Mighty Lions and Changchun Yatai on either side of a 3-2 loss to Zhejiang.
Chinese Super League leaders Shanghai Port goes up against 14th in the table Nantong Zhiyun on Friday, with the home side looking to extend their three-point gap to Chengdu.
Port were actually beaten 1-0 by Chengdu last time out after winning all of their last four matches, having earned 3-0, 3-2, 2-0 and 2-1 victories over the likes of Changchun Yatai, Henan, Meizhou Hakka and Zhejiang. Notably, Shanghai have some big names on their books, such as ex-Chelsea man Oscar and former Espanyol striker Wu Lei.
Nantong’s 1-0 win over Qingdao Hainiu ended a four-game winless run for the club, as they’d previously been beaten 1-0 by both Chengdu Rongcheng and Beijing Guoan, while being thrashed 5-0 at home to Wuhan Three Towns after a 1-1 home draw with Shenzhen.
