Smart Acca Picks: Reading vs Blackburn Providing Good Value

The first tip on this list comes from Champions League qualifying where Qarabag and Viktoria Plzen go head to head.

Qarabag have shown their goalscoring capabilities so far in qualifying, having beaten Lech Poznan 5-1, before beating champions of Switzerland, Zurich 4-3 on aggregate and Ferencevaros 4-2 after two legs.

All of Plzen’s last five matches have seen the Over 2.5 Goals market land following a 2-2 draw with Teplice, as well as back-to-back 2-1 victories over Sheriff Tiraspol and 2-1 wins in the Czech First League against both Pardubice and Hradec Kralove.

Reading go up against Championship leaders Blackburn Rovers on Wednesday night with Jon Dahl Tomasson’s men looking to continue their perfect start to the season.

The Royals suffered a heavy 4-0 loss to Rotherham United last time out after being dumped out of the League Cup 2-1 by Stevenage. Prior to this, they had beaten Cardiff City 2-1 thanks to goals by Tom Ince and Shane Long following a 1-0 opening weekend defeat to Blackpool.

Rovers look to have kicked on from their 1-0 home win over QPR in late July, having gone on to defeat Swansea City 3-0, Hartlepool United 4-1 and West Brom 2-1.

In the Chinese Super League Wuhan face off against Beijing Guoan in what could be a game full of goals.

Wuhan hammered Guangzhou City 5-0 last time out which was their first win in four matches after losing 2-1 to Meizhou Hakka, drawing 2-2 at home to Shanghai Shenhua and being thumped by local rivals Wuhan Three Towns 5-0. Their last victory prior to their most recent win was 2-1 over Guangzhou FC.

Beijing have lost all of their last three, having been thumped away at Wuhan Three Towns 5-1, as well as being beaten 3-0 by Henan and 2-1 away at Shenzhen. Before this, Beijing had drawn 0-0 with Meizhou Hakka and beat Tianjin 2-1.

LAFC hosts DC United on Wednesday morning in a meeting of top of the Eastern Conference against bottom of the Western Conference.

The home side enters this match in tremendous form, having won all of their last five matches, beating both Nashville and Seattle Sounders 2-1 on either side of a 2-0 victory against Sporting Kansas City. In their last two matches, LAFC have hammered Real Salt Lake 4-1 and Charlotte 5-0.

DC United haven’t won under Wayne Rooney since his first match in charge when they beat Orlando City 2-1, as they have since lost 3-0 and 1-0 to Charlotte and New England on either side of a 0-0 draw with New York Red Bulls.

The final tip on this list comes from Stoke City versus Middlesbrough in the Championship.

The Potters are 16th in the Championship following 3-1 and 2-0 losses to Huddersfield and Millwall on either side of a 2-0 victory against Blackpool and a 5-3 penalty shootout loss in the League Cup against Morecambe after a 0-0 draw.

On the other hand, Middlesbrough haven’t lived up to their pre-season expectations, as Boro are 19th in the table after drawing 1-1 and 2-2 with West Brom and Sheffield United on either side of a 3-2 loss away at QPR and a 1-0 defeat to Barnsley in the League Cup.
