Saturday's EFL Accumulator Tips

Fixtures for: Saturday 9th August

AFC Wimbledon v Lincoln

League One

15:00

Both Teams to Score - No

As expected, Wimbledon’s opening game on Friday night saw them look defensively solid and as it is their trademark under Johnnie Jackson, the game was very low margin, with just eight shots and 0.56 expected goals across the entire game.

The Dons' lack of cutting edge in attack means defensive solidity is their best chance of staying in League One, and so we can expect them to continue with their pragmatic approach.

Lincoln could not be a better opponent for Wimbledon in terms of wanting games to be combative and low-scoring. Michael Skubala also sets his side up with a safety-first approach, and with Wimbledon mustering just two shots at Luton, he’ll be confident of his side producing a low-scoring affair.

Wycombe v Stockport

League One

15:00

Stockport Draw No Bet

After a disappointing 2-1 defeat at newly promoted Bradford, Wycombe fans’ patience with Mike Dodds is already wearing thin, especially given they’ve now lost five of their last six competitive games. In truth, the Chairboys' underlying data is much stronger than their results under Dodds; however, there’s no denying that they’re a team in transition.

The manager himself has admitted that arriving at Adams Park so late in the season meant that he simply tried to keep the same tactical set-up that had served them so well, whereas he is now looking to stamp his identity on the side. That will take time, as evidenced against Bradford, and therefore their status as favourites for this game feels incorrect.

If you’re a team trying to bed in a new style, the worst side to face early on in this tactical shift may well be Stockport. County are one of the most settled sides in the division, and despite having lost some key players, their opening day win over fellow promotion hopefuls Bolton suggests that they’re ready to pick up where they left off with their third place finish last season.

Dave Challinor has them incredibly well drilled, and their 3-1 victory in this fixture in May demonstrated clearly the different stages that these teams are at. With this bet, we can take out the draw and still get an appealing price on Stockport continuing their excellent form, which has seen them win eight of their last nine League One fixtures. 

Gillingham v Walsall

League Two

15:00

Walsall Double Chance

I really like Walsall's chances this season, especially now that they have begun the season with a hard-fought win, showing good mentality, as that was one of the bigger concerns given their capitulation last season.

Their squad looks one of the most well-rounded in the league, and they have clear routes to goal as well.

This is the opposite situation to Gillingham, who managed only eight shots at Accrington on opening day, with none hitting the target and generating an xG of only 0.48 in the match as a whole.

Even though Gills are at home this time around, this could be a hindrance more than a help if the home crowd get frustrated with a similar type of display by their team.

To be able to get a packable price on Walsall, having the draw as well as a win is worth taking.

Harrogate v Grimsby

League Two

15:00

Grimsby Double Chance

I really enjoyed Grimsby's opening day performance against Crawley.

Over time we may see that Crawley become one of the strugglers in the division, but they competed well in League One last year for the most part, and Grimsby took no time in taking them apart with enterprising football.

Artell's team look set for a big season, and whilst we continue to write off Harrogate at our peril, this looks to be one of the best value and safer League Two options on Saturday to use in our acca.

Grimsby got a draw here last season, as well as beating Harrogate at home, despite not being the greatest travellers. I expect them to improve that aspect this season and this is a great chance to build on a bouyant start.

An accumulator (acca) is a single bet that links together multiple EFL selections. All selections must win for the bet to payout. It's a popular way to chase big returns from small stakes.

Oli Nixon and Sam Binch compose the EFL accumulators along with the ABC Editorial Team.

You will find in time an amount of legs that suits your style of betting, that hits the odds you like to bet on and your enjoyment of accas. We like doubles, trebles and four-folds, but it’s an individual thing.

You can take advantage of Sky Bet acca freeze on accas with five folds or more, so Sky are a good choice for an EFL acca.

That said, bet365 Soccer Acca Boost covers all three EFL divisions, so if it’s Match Result, Both Teams to Score and Match Result & Both Teams to Score you want to include in your acca, bet365 are likely to be best price.

It is believed that there is more value in the player prop markets in the EFL than in the Premier League.

The markets are priced up less often so there’s a chance that the algorithms and traders are not as up to speed with them, as they are on the Premier League. This can present opportunities to take on value bets.

Sky Bet Acca Freeze, bet365 Soccer Acca Boost, Paddy Power Super Sub and bet365 Sub On Play On are amongst the best bookie promotions for EFL accas.

The cashout is often a good deal for the bookmaker, but there is no right and wrong in taking or not taking a cashout. If you’d prefer to bank the money early, take the cashout and remove the jeopardy.

Our EFL tips win regularly and they often contribute to other bets across the site. You won’t win your EFL acca every week, but we give ourselves the best chance by conducting in-depth research to make an informed decision on every bet we place.

Not yet, but it is worth bookmarking this page to refer back to with ease ahead of each EFL slate.

Bookmaker’s sometimes offer money back if your acca loses by one leg. It is not always the case.

We recommend Paddy Power, Betfair, Sky Bet and bet365 for placing our EFL accas.
