Saturday's 7/1 Scottish Football Accumulator Tips

Fixtures for: Saturday 23rd August

Kilmarnock v Dundee

Scottish Premiership

15:00

Kilmarnock to Win @ 1.88

Kilmarnock are a healthy price to get their first league win of the season at home against Dundee.

Killie might have drawn their first two games of the campaign, but they were well on course to win at home against Livingston before a harsh penalty and red card derailed them. They subsequently fought back well to draw 2-2 against Hibs, then overcame Dundee United 2-1 in the League Cup.

Having netted at least two goals in each of their last four matches, they should fancy their chances against a Dundee side that have kept only one clean sheet in six competitive outings.

Don’t let the Dark Blues’ previous 1-1 draw against Rangers deceive you. They struggled even when their opponents were down to 10 men and still conceded nearly 2 xGA. Although they have scored in both their Premiership games, this has been achieved despite creating just 0.48 xGF across both matches, suggesting they have been riding their luck.

In a historically entertaining fixture – 14 of the last 15 have seen both teams score (available at 1.87) – I think Dundee’s luck will run out against a Killie side that has deserved more than they have got so far this season.

Morton v Ayr

Scottish Championship

15:00

Over 0.5 Morton Goals @ 1.40

I think Morton could make life really difficult for Ayr on Saturday, making the hosts an attractive option to score at least once during this Cappielow clash. The Ton have long had a reputation as a tough nut to crack under Dougie Imirie’s tutorship, and I suspect that they could smell blood when they host the Honest Men on Saturday.

Ayr have endured a sticky start to their league season, drawing 1-1 away at Arbroath before losing 1-0 at home to Raith Rovers. I watched the full 90 minutes of Ayr’s televised 1-1 draw with Arbroath and I thought Scott Brown’s side were fortunate to get anything out of that game. The Somerset Park side have since been dumped out of the Scottish League Cup courtesy of a 2-0 loss at Partick Thistle last weekend.

While Morton were also eliminated from the League Cup last Saturday at the hands of Aberdeen, they did win three of their four games during the group stage, not to mention they have avoided defeat in each of their opening two league games of the season. It’s also worth noting that Morton scored in each of their two home games against Ayr last term.

Ross County v Partick Thistle

Scottish Championship

15:00

Over 0.5 Partick Thistle Goals @ 1.44

Don Cowie is a manager in desperate need of a result but I think the pressure could crank up a notch for the Ross County boss when his side play host to Partick Thistle on Saturday. Following a summer spending spree, the Staggies were widely tipped to bounce back from last season’s relegation at the first time of asking. 

Things haven’t gone to plan so far,  with County blowing a two-goal lead to draw 2-2 at Airdrie on the opening day of the season before losing 1-0 at home to a St Johnstone team that are also expected to be in title contention. The Dingwall outfit also failed to get out of their group in the League Cup, losing 3-1 at home to Partick Thistle in a section decider.

Thistle are back in town this weekend on league business and they are more than capable of finding the back of the net at least once. I successfully backed Mark Wilson’s men to score away at St Johnstone on the opening Saturday of the Scottish Championship season and they have since scored in their subsequent league game with Morton, as well as last week’s 2-0 Scottish League Cup success over Ayr.

St Johnstone v Arbroath

Scottish Championship

15:00

St Johnstone Over 1.5 Goals @ 1.49

St Johnstone are the only side in the Championship to have won their opening two fixtures, and the goal glut of the Perth side at McDiarmid Park is set to continue against Arbroath.

Simo Valakari’s side are set up with an attacking mindset, and this has been reflected by the fact that they have scored 16 times in their four home matches across all competitions. Although Saints were stopped 1-0 against Premiership Motherwell last weekend, that was a test on a very different level. They had just 40% of the ball in that game; they have had upwards of 60% in both league games.

This is a team that will play on the front foot and try to score goals. They netted five in their previous home league match against Partick and also hit three against fellow Championship side Raith Rovers in the League Cup group stage.

Arbroath, meanwhile, have yet to keep a clean sheet in their three fixtures against second tier rivals this season. Although they won 3-1 against a weak Queen’s Park side a fortnight ago, they gave up 15 shots, including six on target. St Johnstone are a far better side and I’d back them to be far more clinical than the Hampden outfit were.

Peterhead v Cove Rangers

Scottish League One

15:00

Peterhead Double Chance @ 1.35

Peterhead look strong value to get a positive result at home against Cove Rangers on Saturday.

I can’t make a case for the Aberdeen side being favourites in this match, with Paul Hartley’s men seemingly living on reputation alone. Last week, for example, they were held 3-3 by winless Montrose at home. Given Montrose went down to 10 men after 21 minutes, for Cove to fail to win was alarming.

Indeed, the visitors have only won two of their eight competitive matches so far this season. Both of those victories came in the League Cup against lesser-ranked opponents. Cove are currently on a run of five without a win in all competitions.

Peterhead, meanwhile, come into this game off the back of successive defeats to Inverness and Queen of the South. Given that those clubs both expect to fight for promotion, the losses can be brushed off to some extent.

The Blue Toon are traditionally strong at home and recorded a thumping 4-1 win over East Fife in their only previous league outing at Balmoor so far this season.

Written by Andy Robson

An SPFL accumulator is a type of football bet that combines multiple selections from matches within the Scottish Professional Football League (SPFL) into a single list of betting selections. The SPFL includes four divisions: the Premiership, Championship, League One, and League Two. 


An accumulator, or ‘acca’, typically includes four or more individual bets, such as match outcomes (win, draw, or loss), both teams to score, over/under goals, or player prop selections from different games.


For the accumulator to pay out, all selections must be correct. If even one result is wrong, the entire bet loses. However, because the risk is higher, accumulators offer significantly larger potential returns compared to placing single bets. The odds for each leg multiply together, resulting in a cumulative total that can be quite lucrative.


In summary, an SPFL accumulator is a betting strategy that covers multiple games in Scotland’s football league system, appealing to those with in-depth knowledge of the leagues.

We have three contributors to our weekly Scottish content, with each having a vast amount of experience across different tiers of Scottish football.


Andy Robson


With over 10 years of experience covering countless leagues in terms of betting, Andy Robson has amassed a following that has made him the most popular betting tipster in the UK. 


With over 1 million followers across several social media platforms, he has built a reputation for providing free, quality betting content for the best part of a decade.


Keep an eye out for his weekly Scottish Double, which includes high-quality research as well as identifying mispricing by bookmakers.


Robin Bairner


With 17 years of experience in covering football professionally, Robin specialises in both Scottish and French football and has been a contributor to Andy’s Bet Club since 2022.


Covering two World Cups and a European Championship as an accredited journalist, Robin has been involved in offering quality betting advice as far back as 2007.


Grant Heaney


Falkirk fan Grant has been a contributor to some of the biggest betting websites and newspapers over the past five years.


He has been sharing his insight, knowledge, and tips across various platforms for over five years. Across that five-year period, Grant has covered games from all over the globe.

For it to be considered an acca, a betslip must contain at least four selections from different games. Three would be considered a treble, while two would only be considered a double.


For beginners, it’s smart to start small. You don’t need a 10-fold acca to have fun or make a profit. Stick to solid picks, keep an eye on the odds, and don’t chase long shots just for the big win. Accas are about balance, and not just big payouts.

Our community voted bet365 as the best bookmaker for accumulators via our Best Bookmaker Awards survey.


Over 47% of the 1,150 votes were in favour of bet365, with particular interest in the ‘Up To 100% Acca Boost’ and the ‘2 Goals Up Payout.’


Paddy Power also proved popular with over 23% of the vote, with their ‘Free Power Up Tokens’ and ‘2 UP Payout’ proving equally as popular among our community.

The most popular markets for SPFL accas tend to be:


- Match Result

- Both Teams to Score

- Over/Under Goals

- Double Chance

- Draw No Bet

- Team To Score

- Anytime Goalscorer

Paddy Power and bet365’s ‘2 UP’ promotions add extra insurance to any potential SPFL acca. This means that if you’re team goes 2-0 up in any game, it will be counted as a win regardless of the full-time result.


Bet365’s Acca Boost also boasts an attractive option for punters, giving an extra 2.5% winnings boost depending on how many legs are in your accumulator. You can get up to 100% winnings boost depending on the number of legs in your accumulator, meaning you can potentially double your winnings depending on the amount of selections.

There’s never a bad time necessarily, to cash out an accumulator. If you believe the cashout is offering attractive returns, then by all means, take it. It’s always sensible to leave yourself in profit, regardless of how much is on offer.


Gambling is always about being responsible and doing it sensibly.

You can, most bookmakers in the UK are aware of the popularity of SPFL games, and allow multiple markets to be backed in the same game.


It should be noted, however, that if you were to take just four selections from the same game, that would be labelled as a bet builder and not an accumulator. Accumulators tend to be selections across a number of different games.

The likelihood of an acca winning really depends on the odds. If, for example, an acca is at odds of 4.0, this means that it is likely to land in one out of every three attempts.


We always aim to end each week in profit across all our accumulators on site.

We have weekly content for each batch of SPFL fixtures, and the best way to get notified is by signing up for Andy’s Bet Club Weekly Newsletter. 


This is sent out at least once a week by email, detailing the best offers and SPFL betting tips on offer for free on the site each week.

Typically, no, you need each selection to land in order to take home any potential winnings. Certain bookmakers will offer this as a promotion, however, and it often is based around returning your stake in cash if your acca loses.

You are free to use any bookmaker you like to back our SPFL acca. The likes of bet365 and Paddy Power have proven to be the most popular amongst our community, but if you are more familiar with your own bookmaker interface, feel free to use that.
