Saturday's 5/1 Scottish Football Accumulator Tips

Fixtures for: Saturday 13th September

Falkirk v St Mirren

Scottish Premiership

15:00

Over 0.5 St Mirren Goals @ 1.36

I think St Mirren look well worthy of support to score at least once against Falkirk on Saturday. The Saints have shown across the opening month of the Scottish Premiership season why they have long had a reputation as a tough nut to crack. Stephen Robinson’s side pushed Celtic all the way at Parkhead on the opening weekend of the campaign and they have since played out 1-1 draws with both Rangers and Hibernian. 

While Falkirk will be in high spirits after defeating Aberdeen 1-0 before the international break, the Bairns made the most of the red card that the Dons received during the first half of that contest. Prior to that victory, John McGlynn’s men had shipped multiple goals in three successive matches, including their previous home game with Dundee United.

It's also worth noting that St Mirren made the net bulge in 13 of their 18 Scottish Premiership away games last season, further suggesting that they can strike at the Falkirk Stadium on Saturday.

Aberdeen v Livingston

Scottish Premiership

15:00

Over 5.5 Aberdeen Corners @ 1.53

Aberdeen will be looking to finally get off the mark in the Scottish Premiership when they play host to Livingston on Saturday. The Dons have lost each of their opening three league games of the season, and they are unlikely to have things all their own way against a Livingston side that always have the capacity to be stubborn opponents. It's therefore difficult to trust Aberdeen to take anything from this game as I think it has banana-skin potential. 

However, I’m prepared to back the home team to earn a minimum of six corners on Saturday afternoon. Admittedly, Aberdeen have not been hitting high corner numbers this season, however, Livingston’s ability to sit deep and frustrate will be a difficult tactic for the home team to counter. As such, I think six or more Aberdeen corners are well within range on Saturday. Despite having a player sent off against Falkirk last time out, the Dons still managed to deliver a flag kick return of five.

Moreover, Livingston have been giving up high corner kick counts in recent times, conceding nine, 10 and nine flag kicks across their last three matches in all competitions.

Rangers v Hearts

Scottish Premiership

15:00

Hearts +1.5 Asian Handicap @ 1.40

Rangers look a very short price indeed for their Saturday fixture against Hearts, with Russell Martin’s outfit having shown little to justify their odds-on (1.76) status for this clash at Ibrox.

The hosts come into this match after winning only three of their 11 competitive fixtures this season. In the league, they have drawn four straight, landing Martin in a whole pile of trouble already. The international break will only cause more disruption for the Gers, who had 11 players away on duty with their countries, while a glut of late signings will make cohesion for this game tricky.

Hearts, meanwhile, are yet to lose over 90 minutes this season and are joint-top of the Premiership through four games, winning 3 of them. There is a genuine belief at Tynecastle that they can split the Old Firm, and this match is an opportunity for Derek McInnes’ side to showcase that.

While the Edinburgh side struggled against Rangers last season, losing two of three in the league, this is a very different context, and I’d be surprised to see the hosts win this by a sizeable margin. This looks like a strong bet to boost an acca at the weekend.

Edinburgh City v East Kilbride

Scottish League Two

15:00

Over 2.5 Goals @ 1.33

I think all the ingredients are in place for an entertaining encounter when Edinburgh City face East Kilbride in Scottish League Two on Saturday afternoon.  SPFL new boys East Kilbride have been a hugely enjoyable watch this season, and their gung-ho approach under Mick Kennedy should produce more goals and excitement in the Scottish capital this weekend.

The visitors have scored a league-high 13 goals across their opening five games of the season, with four of those contests delivering over 2.5 match goals. What’s more, each of East Kilbride’s seven outings in cup competitions this season have all broken the over 2.5 goal barrier, including last week’s 4-2 loss to Hamilton in the Challenge Cup.

As for Edinburgh, they have also been serving up plenty of entertainment for Scottish League Two crowds this term, with each of their first five league games of the season producing three or more goals. Goals have also been flowing in cup games involving the Citizens this season, with five of their seven ties featuring a minimum of three match strikes. 

With all that in mind, goals should be on the agenda at Meadowbank on Saturday.

Forfar v Dumbarton

Scottish League Two

15:00

Dumbarton +0.5 Asian Handicap @ 1.64

This bet is the exact same as backing Dumbarton Double Chance, if they win or draw the leg lands.

Down in League Two, Dumbarton have made a positive start to the season, making short work of their five-point penalty, and the Sons look a strong price to avoid losing at Forfar.

Across their last nine matches in all competitions, their sole defeat came against improving Edinburgh City in their last league outing. They bounced back from that with a 1-1 draw against East Fife in the Challenge Cup last week – a match that was played between the teams at close to full strength.

Forfar, meanwhile, have had difficulties lately after a positive start to the season. The Loons had lost three straight before bouncing back against a young Dundee team last weekend. They have won both home matches so far, but these came against Stranraer and Stirling – teams that have been no great shakes at the start of the season.

Dumbarton have built an experienced side, and I expect them to build upon what’s been a strong start to the season by coming away from Station Park with something to show for their efforts: 1.64 looks a good price to me.

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.
