15:00 Monday
Tsimikas card value with Robertson out injured
Kostas Tsimikas is set to start at left back in Liverpool's Champions League match against Ajax tomorrow night after Andy Robertson was ruled out with a knee injury. Tsimikas is a best price 5/1 to receive a card (worst price 5/2).
11:57 Monday
Reasons to back Roma to win against Empoli
- Roma have won their last five meetings with Empoli
- Empoli yet to win in five league matches this season
- Empoli collected 24 of 41 points away last season
The visitors are a best price 13/17 to win tonight (worst 7/10).
11:45 Monday
Osasuna to continue away hold on Almeria?
Osasuna are unbeaten in their last six meetings with Almeria, keeping a clean sheet in the last three away games vs tonight's opponents. The oddschecker team has already included under 1.5 home goals in this 3/1 treble, but might there be value in the away clean sheet (best price 2/1)?)
10:34 Monday
Mourinho's Roma headline Monday's 3/1 Treble
The oddschecker team have picked out a 3/1 Monday treble covering football league action in La Liga, Serie A and the Portuguese Super Liga. For full details click HERE.
12:27 Friday
Home trend key to tonight's Bundesliga fixture
The home team in fixtures between Werder Bremen and Augsburg have won each of the last five. This holds even more relevance given that Augsburg, the away team tonight, have lost four of their first five games this season. A best price of 7/12 (worst 4/9) looks favourable for 8th placed Werder.
10:56 Friday
Girona to continue home Valladolid run
Girona are unbeaten across their last seven matches at home against tonight's opponents Real Valladolid. They are a best price 25/19 best to win (worst price 6/5).
09:48 Friday
Unbeaten Lens look value for Ligue 1 win
66% of the bets on tonight's Ligue 1 clash between Lens and Troyes have gone the way of the home team. Franck Haise's side are still unbeaten after six matches (four wins and two draws) - only PSG and Montpellier have scored more goals. Meanwhile, only two sides (Angers & Brest) have conceded more than Troyes. 8/15 looks good value for a home win (against worst odds of 4/9).
If you want to take this a step further, the Acca Scout likes Lens to win & BTTS at best price 2/1 (worst 7/4). Both teams have scored in five of Lens' six matches at an average of 3.6 goals per game. Both teams have also scored in five of Troyes' six matches (three of them defeats).
16:32 Thursday
Check out this 10/1 Thursday Treble
The oddschecker team have picked out a 10/1 Thursday treble covering action in the Europa League and Europa Conference League. It comes in at best odds of 10/1 through oddschecker compared to a worst price of 9/1 with several bookies. To find out more, click HERE.
13:42 Thursday
Ronaldo to score on starting XI return
Cristiano Ronaldo has scored in every home game he has played against Real Sociedad, racking up 15 goals in just seven matches. The 37-year-old is a best price 11/10 to score anytime tonight (worst price 5/6), while he is 7/2 to open the scoring (13/5 with one bookmaker).
12:32 Thursday
Arsenal set for a cricket score
Arsenal are back in Europe this season after failing to qualify for Europe for the first time in 25 years.
Coming into this game, they have only lost one Europa League group stage game in the last three seasons they have competed, against Frankfurt in 2019. They won all six of their group games in their last appearance during the 20/21 season, and Mikel Arteta will be hoping they repeat that feat.
Arsenal are heavy 8/25 favourites to win tonight against a struggling Zurich side who are winless in seven and sit joint bottom. The value in tonight’s game may be in the winning margin, however, with Zurich maintaining the second worst defensive record in the Swiss Super League. Arsenal are at 11/2 to win by four or more goals and 23/5 to win by three.
12:29 Thursday
Five clean sheets in a row for United against Sociedad?
Manchester United have faced Real Sociedad four times and are still yet to concede a goal. Since a 4-0 hammering against Brentford, Erik ten Hag's side have only conceded twice in their subsequent four league matches. The hosts are a best price 6/4 to keep a clean sheet tonight (worst price 13/10).
16:06 Wednesday
Key card targets for tonight's Champions League action
The Acca Scout has picked out four players expected to be on the referee's radar in the Champions League tonight.
- Dusan Tadic has committed the most fouls for Ajax in Eredividsie (1.6) and has picked up a club-high two yellow cards in six league games
- Rangers defender Connor Goldson has picked up four yellows in six league games this season
- Two ex Gunners, Marseille's Nuno Tavares and Matteo Guendouzi, are playing against their former team's biggest rivals tonight in Spurs and both players rank in the top five for their clubs in fouls committed
So, where is the best value in the anytime card markets?
- Tadic: Best Price 6/1 / Worst Price 3/1
- Goldson: Best Price 11/4 / Worst Price 6/4
- Tavares: Best Price 11/4 / Worst Price 19/10
- Guendouzi: Best Price 5/2 / Worst Price 13/8
15:48 Wednesday
Tavernier shines brightest on the European stage
Rangers right-back James Tavernier has scored seven goals in his last nine games in major European competitions for Rangers (excluding qualifiers). He is a best price 6/1 to score anytime tonight vs Ajax (worst price 7/2).
15:21 Wednesday
Two big name strikers to make their mark
Think Robert Lewandowski & Harry Kane will open the scoring for their sides tonight?

14:15 Wednesday
Bayern to put on a show against struggling Inter
Inter Milan and Bayern Munich meet for the sixth time in the UEFA Champions League, with each team having two wins to their name and one draw.
They both haven’t had ideal starts to the season, with Inter keeping only one clean sheet in their opening five and Bayern keeping two whilst sitting 3rd in the league.
However, despite their poor defensive start, Bayern have scored five or more goals in three games this season and are creating loads of chances for their forward players.
The odds are at 35/18 for both teams to score in this one, with Bayern 5/6 favourites to come out on top. Alternatively, with Inter’s poor defensive record in mind and Bayern’s attacking prowess at full force this season, the value may be in Bayern to outscore Inter at the San Siro, with Bayern to win by four or more goals currently at 12/1.
11:19 Wednesday
Di Lorenzo the latest to take on Luis Diaz
In five of Liverpool's six Premier League matches so far, a right-sided opposition defender has received a card. Four of those (the latest being Trippier) have been right-backs lining up in a four at the back. The other was Joel Ward for Crystal Palace who was the right-sided centre back in a back five for the Eagles.
The only players to escape have been Palace's Nathaniel Clyne (right wing-back) and Everton's right-back Nathan Patterson in the Merseyside derby, as Luis Diaz continues to pose huge problems to defenders down Liverpool's left.
Giovanni Di Lorenzo is most likely to be named at right back for Napoli tonight (according to WhoScored.com). He is a best price 7/2 to be shown a card, versus a worst price of 2/1.
11:04 Wednesday
Free-scoring Napoli to test Liverpool's defence
The hosts are the top scorers in Serie A (12 in five matches) and have averaged 5.8 shots on target per game. Liverpool, meanwhile, have kept just two clean sheets in six Premier League matches, with those coming against struggling Bournemouth and Everton.
The Acca Scout agrees with George Gamble's assessment that Napoli are somewhat overpriced in the Over 1.5 Total Home Goals market (best price 33/20, worst price 8/5).
And if you want more reasons to look at markets favouring the hosts, Liverpool have only won 15 of 35 matches against Italian opposition and failed to beat Napoli either time in the 19/20 group stage.

Salzburg on course for home victory?
RB Salzburg won all three of their home UCL fixtures last season (vs Lille, Sevilla & Wolfsburg) en route to a first appearance in the elimination stages of the competition. Milan only managed one win from six attempts in the group stages last year. Are Salzburg good value at 3/1 to get the win tonight?
12:08 Tuesday
Haaland to continue league form in Europe
Erling Haaland is the Premier League's top scorer with 10 goals in six games and he is now ready to take that form into the Champions League. In his time at Dortmund, he racked up 23 goals in 19 Champions League games, so can he continue this trend for City?
He is at 8/11 to score vs Sevilla tonight and 3/1 favourite to be the competition's top scorer. Meanwhile, there is a Paddy Power Turbo Power Price boost on him to have a shot on target.
11:00 Tuesday
O'Riley among the key card targets against Real Madrid
Celtic's Matt O'Riley has picked up a club high 1.7 fouls p/g in six appearances this season but remains a best price of 5/1 for a card tonight, compared to a worst price of 5/2. He should start in midfield with the mammoth task of containing Luka Modric, Aurelien Tchouameni and Toni Kroos.
10:31 Tuesday
Haaland to continue Sevilla hot streak
It might not surprise you to learn that Erling Haaland has a fine goalscoring record against tonight's opponents Sevilla, scoring four times in two previous meetings during his time at Dortmund. Haaland is a best price 8/11 to score anytime (worst price 1/2).
We deliberately reference the anytime market because City have a ready-made replacement in Julián Álvarez should Haaland be given a rest. Given that the two could just as easily be paired up front (as they were against Forest), Álvarez to score first is an eye-catching best price 9/2 (worst 12/5).
09:46 Tuesday
Chilwell poised to start after West Ham cameo
After a goal and an assist against West Ham at the weekend in just an 18-minute cameo, Ben Chilwell is poised for just his second start of the season away at Dinamo Zagreb. The left wing-back is a best price 11/1 to score anytime (worst price 17/4) and a huge 28/1 to score first (12/1 worst).
14:36 Monday
Middlesbrough to continue rivalry dominance?
Sunderland haven’t beaten Middlesbrough in their last six meetings, with their last victory stretching back to 2012. Five of the last six victories for a team in this fixture have been by a single goal margin, with three 1-0 wins.
However, the last time these sides met in 2018, it finished 3-3.
Middlesbrough have conceded two or more goals four times this season, while Sunderland have conceded two or more three times.
With the scale of the rivalry in mind, we think goals may flow at the Riverside. This game is at 13/5 (2/1 worst) to have over 3.5 goals, with Middlesbrough 11/12 favourites to come out as winners.

12:12 Monday
Clarke and Jones set to have a heated battle at the Riverside
Jack Clarke picked up two assists and an excellent goal against Rotherham last Wednesday from left wing-back but he's also been booked three times in six games.
Only Daniel Neil averages more tackles per game (2.3) than Clarke and he's likely to be busy against Boro's Isaiah Jones tonight. Jones is top for dribbles per game (1.3) for Boro and also their second most-fouled per game (3).
This is a battle worth keeping an eye on, with Jones having picked up three yellows in seven games himself.
Jack Clarke is 14/5 to be carded (worst 9/5), while Isaiah Jones is 4/1 to be carded (3/1 worst).
11:51 Monday
Both Teams to Score in the Tees-Wear Derby?
The Acca Scout highlights the key stats picked out by George Gamble in his match preview for Boro vs Sunderland. Both Teams to Score at a best price 8/9 could be the value play based on the below:
- Both teams have scored in all of Boro's home league games this season
- The hosts have scored in all of their last six meetings at home to Sunderland
- The visitors have scored in six of their last seven league away outings
