ACCA of the Day is up. 10 legs led by a full Carabao Cup second round card packed with Premier League clubs, plus the Champions League play-off second legs and La Liga, every selection backed by stats and form.
Nottingham Forest vs Leeds United
Double Chance Nottingham Forest or Draw - at 1.28
Two Premier League sides meet again three days after their league opener, Forest 11/10 at the City Ground with Leeds at 19/10 and the draw at 23/10. Rotation makes cup ties like this unpredictable, so covering the draw in a competition that goes to penalties anyway is the sensible route into the home side. Clean cover leg at 1.28.
Ipswich Town vs Leicester City
Ipswich Town to Win - at 1.55
Ipswich are 11/20 at Portman Road with Leicester out at 18/5, the clearest home edge among the all English ties. Premier League opposition against a Championship side, and the market has the hosts around 65 percent implied. Straightforward home angle at 1.55.
Plymouth Argyle vs Coventry City
Coventry City to Win - at 1.60
Coventry are 3/5 away at Home Park with Plymouth at 10/3, a Premier League club against a side two divisions below. Coventry's squad depth means even a heavily rotated eleven should carry more quality than the hosts. Reliable value leg at 1.60.
Birmingham City vs Brentford
Brentford to Win - at 1.80
Brentford are 4/5 at St Andrew's with Birmingham at 5/2 and the draw at 5/2, the tightest of the Premier League away trips on the night. Birmingham have real momentum in the Championship, which is why the price is generous for a top flight side. Biggest price on the ticket at 1.80.
Southampton vs West Ham United
Both Teams to Score - at 1.62
An all Championship tie at St Mary's with Southampton 29/20, West Ham 29/20 and nothing between them. Both teams to score is priced 1.62 with a 70 percent projection, and the form backs it, Southampton coming off a 3-1 home win over Stoke and West Ham off a 3-1 comeback against Portsmouth. Goals angle at 1.62.
Blackpool vs Lincoln City
Double Chance Lincoln City or Draw - at 1.21
Lincoln are 17/20 away at Bloomfield Road with Blackpool at 23/10, a Championship side visiting a League One club. Covering the 5/2 draw takes the shootout risk out entirely and still backs the higher division team. Shortest and cleanest anchor on the ticket at 1.21.
Doncaster Rovers vs Middlesbrough
Draw No Bet Middlesbrough - at 1.33
Middlesbrough are 8/15 at the Eco-Power Stadium with Doncaster out at 18/5. Draw no bet removes the 29/10 stalemate from the equation in a tie that will likely be decided by squad quality once both benches empty. Second anchor leg, supporting the slip cleanly at 1.33.
Valencia vs Real Betis
Double Chance Valencia or Draw - at 1.47
Valencia are 8/5 at Mestalla with Betis matched at 8/5 and the draw at 12/5, a genuine LaLiga coin flip. Mestalla remains one of the more hostile away trips in Spain and folding in the draw covers close to 68 percent of the implied book. Cover leg at 1.47.
Bodø/Glimt vs NEC
Draw No Bet Bodø/Glimt - at 1.31
Bodø/Glimt are 4/9 at Aspmyra with NEC at 18/5, and they carry a 3-1 first leg lead into the second leg. Bodø have gone over 3.5 goals in each of their three Champions League qualifying matches, averaging 4.7 goals per game, and they added a 4-0 home win over Lillestrøm. Draw no bet at 1.31.
LASK vs Celtic
Over 2.5 Goals - at 1.57
Celtic won the first leg 3-0 in Glasgow, so LASK need at least three goals at home and will have to throw everything forward. Over 2.5 and both teams to score are both 4/7, and the underlying numbers agree, LASK scoring nine in their last four and Celtic twelve in their last three. Goals angle at 1.57.
Combined Odds: 45.04
Ten legs across five market families, seven of them from an English cup card stacked with Premier League clubs. Lincoln at 1.21 and Nottingham Forest at 1.28 anchor the ticket, the Southampton vs West Ham both teams to score at 1.62 and the LASK vs Celtic over 2.5 at 1.57 take the value away from short match prices, and Brentford at 1.80 at St Andrew's carries the biggest price. All ten matches kick off Tuesday 25 August.
