61/1 Experts Accumulator Tip

Fulham v Chelsea – Fulham draw no bet at 10/11 with bet365
Fulham were a little unfortunate to lose 1-0 at Bournemouth on Monday night and the Cottagers can bounce back in a west London derby against Chelsea.
Marco Silva’s men have impressed at Craven Cottage this season and Fulham have lost only three of their last 12 matches on the banks of the Thames.
Chelsea were beaten 2-1 at Stamford Bridge by Legia Warsaw in Europe on Thursday night, and while the Blues had already done most of the work in the first-leg of that Conference League tie, it was still a concerning result.
Enzo Maresca’s side have won only five of their last 16 Premier League matches and the Blues do not appeal at Craven Cottage.
Tom Hill
Manchester United vs Wolves – Wolves draw no bet at 11/10 with bet365
Manchester United were back in the headlines for the right reasons on Thursday after their chaotic 5-4 win over Lyon in the Europa League saw them progress to the semi-finals.
While that was a morale-boosting success for Ruben Amorim’s team, they will do well to have the same joy against Wolves on Sunday.
Vitor Pereira’s team have won four games in a row and they are unbeaten in their last five matches. Only Liverpool, Newcastle United and Arsenal have better form than Wolves in the previous 10 games in the Premier League and the visitors should be a nut to crack.
Wolves have scored in 13 of their 16 away games in the Premier League this season and they will fancy their chances of beating the Red Devils for the second time this season, having won 2-0 in December on Boxing Day.

Real Madrid vs Athletic Bilbao – Athletic double chance at 23/20 with bet365
Real Madrid have lost three of their last four games ahead of Sunday’s clash with Athletic Bilbao. Reports suggest Carlo Ancelotti is on his way out after their Champions League exit, with the Italian potentially leaving before the month is out.
Real’s season could quickly unravel, especially as they meet an Athletic Bilbao side who are unbeaten in eight games across all competitions. The visitors are fourth in La Liga and they’ve lost once since mid-October in the league, while they’ve conceded once across their last six outings.
Aaron Ashley
Ipswich vs Arsenal – Both teams to score at 19/20 with bet365
The Champions League is clearly top priority for Arsenal after they sealed their place in the semi-final by winning home and away against Real Madrid, so Ipswich may be able to give them a scare.
The Tractor Boys are Championship bound but last weekend’s 2-2 draw at Chelsea shows that they are keen to go down fighting and that means that both teams have scored in nine of their last ten Premier League matches.
That includes games away at Liverpool, Aston Villa and Manchester United, as well as home meetings with Nottingham Forest and Tottenham, so they could get on the scoresheet with the Gunners distracted.
Arsenal will still want to finish second but both teams have scored in four of their last five league games and they may be embroiled in a high-scoring encounter with Ipswich.
Gareth Freeman
St Pauli vs Bayer Leverkusen – Both teams to score at 19/20 with bet365
Bayer still have a mathematical chance of overhauling Bayern Munich and they should be able to leave Hamburg with all three points ahead of their game against St Pauli, but the best betting angle is going for goals at both ends.
St Pauli have managed to pull away from the drop zone thanks to a run of just one defeat in their last five. That loss came at the hands of Bayern and they scored twice in that game, so they can find a way through against Leverkusen despite their struggles for goals for much of the season.
Bayer have scored 62 goals in 29 league games and they are unlikely to draw a blank at the Millerntor-Stadion, but they’ve also conceded in four of their last five trips – shipping nine goals in total. Both teams scored in the reverse fixture (a 2-1 win for Bayer) and goals at both ends looks likely in this latest meeting.
Simon Barlow
Villarreal vs Real Sociedad – Over 2.5 goals at 10/11 with bet365
There’s plenty at stake when Champions League-chasing Villarreal host Real Sociedad, who remain in contention for a spot in the Conference League.
The Yellow Submarine ared winless in three at home, but did land a significant blow on top-five rivals Real betis when they won 2-1 at Estadio Benito Villamarin last Sunday.
That was the 19th of their 30 La Liga games to feature over 2.5 goals and there is a good chance that this one sees at least three strikes hit the back of the net if the sides stay true to form.
Real Sociedad have won only one of their last seven away games, but each of their last five road games have featured three or more goals. And a recent upturn in potency from Imanol Alguacil’s side, who have scored nine times in their last three trips in all competitions, suggest the 2.5-goal mark will be exceeded again.
