Saturday Football Accumulator Tips

The Premier League postponement came at a good time for Leicester, who were just starting to stutter as a Champions League place crept ever closer.

As for Watford, they’ll be without injured talisman Gerard Deulofeu, and are one of the sides who rely heavily on their buoyant home crowd to earn the points they need to stay afloat.

Without any fans inside Vicarage Road, Leicester will believe the reduced home advantage will play right into their hands, and I believe 15/13 for the visitors to emulate their victory over the Hornets earlier in the season is good value.

Next, I fancy Europa League-chasing Hoffenheim to beat Union at home.

The hosts are in great form, having won three of their last five, while Union, who themselves have won back-to-back games, are now safe from relegation, and have little to play for.

Union’s two victories have come against relegated Paderborn and a Koln side who haven’t won since the league resumed, and looking at the way Hoffenheim outclassed Augsburg last time out (a side who have been excellent defensively since resumption), I’m more than happy backing them in this one as well.

I fancy Wolves are going to be another side who thrive playing away from home in empty stadiums.

Nuno’s side have a better points-per-game ratio on the road (1.5) than at Molineux, while The Hammers have lost their previous six away games. Yes, David Moyes’ men are playing at home, but the nature of proceedings will be more akin to an away game than a home game (due to the lack of fans willing them on).

Wolves are a better side than West Ham, there’s little doubt about that, and 6/5 for the Black Country outfit to beat the East Londoners looks very tempting indeed.

David Moyes’ men have lost their previous six away games, while Wolves have a better points-per-game ratio away from home (1.5) than they do at Molineux; this is only set to improve when the games are played behind closed doors.
