Sunday's European Football Accumulator Tips

Fixtures for: Sunday 31st August

Lyon v Marseille

Ligue 1

19:45

Marseille to Win @ (2.5)

This selection landed in both meetings between these sides last season as Marseille ran out 3-2 winners both home and away against Lyon. They managed to win the away game despite being reduced to 10 men in the fifth minute of the game which shows how dangerous Marseille can be in forward areas, even at a serious disadvantage. 

Their performance in the second head to head meeting between the sides last season was even more impressive with Roberto De Zerbi’s side outdoing Lyon for shots (20-10), shots on target (11-4) and xG (3.24-1.75). Lyon have lost their best attacking player from last season in Rayan Cherki, making this even more of an awkward assignment for the home side against last season's runners up. 

Marseille won 10 of their 17 away games last season, only PSG won more in Ligue 1 during the 24/25 campaign (12). They scored 33 goals across these games (1.94 per game) which is another record that was only eclipsed by Luis Enrique’s side last season. I’m not convinced that Lyon have the attacking talent to match the dangerous frontline of Marseille who come into this game having just recorded a 5-2 win over Paris FC.

Inter Milan v Udinese

Serie A

19:45

Inter Milan to Score Over 1.5 Goals @ (1.4)

The Nerazzurri accumulated 20 shots on their first game of the season against Torino, carving out six big chances and nine shots on target as they cruised to a five-goal win at the San Siro. 

Cristian Chivu could not have hoped for a better start at the helm, as he was also able to hand out four debuts. 

Petar Sucic started in place of the suspended Hakan Calhanoglu in midfield, and he marked his debut with an assist. Attacking trio Andy Diouf, Luis Henrique and Ange-Yoan Bonny were also able to feature off the bench, with the latter getting on the scoresheet.

Rayo Vallecano v Barcelona

La Liga

20:30

Barcelona to Win @ (1.4)

Barcelona have started the new season exactly as they finished the last, with back-to-back wins setting the tone for Hansi Flick’s side. Even without Robert Lewandowski leading the line, the Catalans have shown no signs of taking their foot off the gas. 

Last time out, they produced a second-half turnaround against Levante to keep their perfect record intact, underlining both their resilience. With two wins from two, Barcelona are one of only five teams in La Liga to have collected maximum points, sitting just behind Villarreal at the top of the table on goal difference.

Sunday’s European accumulator is a combination of the best football bets across European divisions on a Sunday. The leagues included La Liga, Serie A and the Bundesliga. We have dedicated experts for each of these divisions, you every tip is backed with unique and expert insight and data.


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

We have three European football experts who work together for our Sunday European acca. Our La Liga expert is Dhiran Bains, who has four years of experience in football tipping. Dhiran boasted a strong 65% win rate on his La Liga tips across last season, and often finds value in the double chance market.


Oliver Shaw is our Serie A expert. Oliver had an excellent 24/25 season covering the Italian division, boasting a very impressive 77% win rate across his Serie A best bets. If you had backed all of Oliver’s Serie A bets last season as singles, you’d have been almost eight units up. 


Finally, our Bundesliga expert is Harry Nye, who has nine years of experience in football tipping. Harry also had a strong win % last season, with 65% of his Bundesliga accumulator bets winning. He also specialises in Gem Bets on site, and has a great eye for spotting value.

This depends on how many selections you fancy, and what odds range you want your acca to be. Four or five legs are most punters preferred acca type, as these accas can provide a very strong return from a small stake. 


However, the more legs you add, the more the chance of the acca losing. Two or three fold accas may return less, but the chance of them winning is much greater. There is no right or wrong, it depends on the type of punter you are. 


Our on-site betting functionality allows you to easily add and remove bets to and from your ABC betslip, so it’s easy to chop and change until you are happy with each selection and the number of legs in your acca. You can also bet using this functionality directly on ABC, without leaving the website and being redirected to a bookmaker.

The best bookie for a European acca depends on odds and various bookmaker offerings. In terms of odds, our on-site betting functionality makes it simple for you to compare the individual leg and combined acca odds across PAddy Power, bet365, SkyBet and Betfair.


Meanwhile it’s worth shopping around bookies to find their acca features, too. Bet365’s Soccer Acca Boost can see you get up to a 100% winnings boost on your European acca, while their two goals ahead early payout is another great feature. Paddy Power also offer two goals ahead early payout, while SkyBet’s Acca Freeze can be a great way to get the edge over the bookies and essentially cash out a single winning leg of your acca if one of the teams you back take the lead.

Popular markets for a European acca include goals markets, like both teams to score and over 2.5 goals, as well as team to win and team handicap markets. However, our experts are given free reign when it comes to the markets they tip. 


We don’t limit them to particular markets, and you’ll likely see tips on corners, cards and handicap lines on our European accas. Oliver Shaw is particularly strong at locating high value corner selections, as well as unders lines across goals, cards and more.

The best bookie promotions for a European acca include SkyBet’s Acca Freeze, which gives you the option to lock in one of your acca selections if the leg is winning. For example, if Barcelona to win v Real Madrid is one of your acca legs, and Barcelona take the lead, you can freeze this leg so it will be settled as a winner, no matter what happens in the match.


Another top promotion to consider when placing accas is bet365’s Soccer Acca Boost. This boost can see you earn up to a 100% winnings boost on your European accumulator, depending on the number of selections in your acca. Four selections will give you a 7.5% winnings boost, while seven selections will get you a 15% boost. Accas of 20+ legs could see you land a 100% winnings boost.


Both Paddy Power and bet365 offer two goals ahead early payout. This means that if the team you back goes two goals ahead at any point in the match, the selection will be settled as a winner, even if your selection goes on to draw or lose the match. 


Betfair’s Match Odds 90 market is also worth considering - this is a good way to avoid the heartbreak of a last gasp goal running your acca. If you place your team to win selections using Match Odds 90, if your team are winning after 90 minutes, your bet wins, even if the opposition score an injury time equaliser.

Cashing out can be a good option during an acca, particularly if a few of your selections look like coming in, but one of them is looking unlikely. There are a lot of factors to consider when thinking about cashing out your acca, including the value of the cash out itself, how long there is left to go in the match or matches, how many of your selections are winning and has the momentum changes in any of the matches you have backed.


A lot of football bettors adopt the mindset of never cashing out, as they have faith in the selections they have backed. However, this isn’t always the correct call, and it can be a wise move to cash out early and secure some profit.


One popular option is a partial cash out, which several bookies offer. This is where you cash out a percentage of your stake, and leave the rest of your stake on the bet to run. 


For example, if you have a £5 acca and the cash out value is currently £30, you could cash out £2.50 of your stake and secure £15, leaving the rest of your stake to run with the ongoing bet. In this case, your potential returns will be halved, but it can be a shrewd way to secure some profit.

Yes, you can build European accas using markets from the same game. This is more commonly known as a bet builder, rather than an acca, and nearly all top bookies offer this, as well as allowing you to combine multiple selections from the same game across multiple games.


We tend to offer just one tip per match in our European accumulator tips, however, we offer a range of other football betting tips, including bet builder articles for key European matches, and betting preview articles for key games. Therefore, there are plenty of options to build your acca using same game markets on site, you may just need to browse our range of expert tips to do so, while utilising our easy-to-use ABC betslip.

We track our European acca tips individually, and all three of our European football experts have excellent records across their favoured leagues. Dhiran Bains, Oliver Shaw and Harry Nye all recorded at least a 65% win rate over their speciality league acca tips last season.


All three experts have been working hard over the summer to make this season ever more profitable, so you are in the right place for expert insight and tips on the European leagues for 25/26.

The best way to stay up to date and never miss our European acca tips is by bookmarking this page. All of our Sunday European accumulator tips will be on this page, updated every week, so you won’t have to look far for them.


Check back every Friday or Saturday for updated predictions for Sunday’s European matches. You can read the research and reasoning from our experts behind each selection, and easily add and remove individual tips to your ABC betslip. You can also place your European acca on site, thanks to our API on-site betting tool, meaning you won’t need to be redirected to a bookmaker website.

SkyBet’s Acca Freeze serves as a kind of acca insurance, you can freeze a selection if the team you back take the lead in the match, so even if they go on to lose or draw, the leg will be settled as a winner.


While not necessarily acca insurance, both Paddy Power and bet365 offer two goals ahead early payout on team to win markets, which can be a valuable feature when betting on these markets. If your team goes two goals ahead and are pegged back to draw 2-2, your selection still counts as a winner.

Our API betting functionality means that you can back our European accumulator with Paddy Power, bet365, Betfair and SkyBet, without leaving Andy’s Bet Club. You can also compare the price of your selections across these four bookies, quickly and easily using the ABC betslip, which generates live odds as they update.
