With another weekend of action ahead, teams from across Britain will be desperate to gain an early advantage. On that note, we here at Soccer News have found a handful of bets that can boost your Saturday acca:

Saturday 1st September

15:00 BST Hull City vs Derby

After putting four past Hull in midweeks League Cup second round outing, Frank Lampard will be desperate for an identical performance on Saturday. While it may have been a rough start to the Chelsea legends tenure at Pride Park, The Rams have recently shown signs of improvements. Along with beating Hull 4-0 earlier in the week, Derby have now won four of their last five in all competitions and have kept a clean sheet in all of those victories. Along with impressing defensively, one man to watch in the final third will be Wales international winger Tom Lawrence. The 24-year-old now has three in his opening five Championship matches. With Nigel Adkins’ Hull side now shipping six in their last two, Lawrence should fancy his chances of carrying on his impressive record. The Tigers have also failed to win any competitive match in 90 minuets since the middle of April. Backing Derby to come away with a second win in the space of a week seems like the logical bet here.

Tip: Away win @ 31/20

15:00 Brighton vs Fulham

Although it was a tough start to the year for Slaviša Jokanović’s Fulham side, coming off the back of a professional 2-0 win over Exeter in the League Cup, the mood in West London is on the turn. Beating Burnley 4-2 in their last Premier League outing, Fulham have recently found their form in the final third. Spending over £100million in the transfer window this summer, it has been one of last seasons playoff heroes who has hit the ground running. Since moving permanently from St. James’ Park, Serbian international Aleksandar Mitrović has already scored three in his last two. Finishing last year as Fulham’s top scorer, Mitrovic also bagged a brace last weekend and will fancy his chance against a Brighton side who have managed to keep just two clean sheets in their last 20 competitive matches.

Tip: Aleksandar Mitrović to score anytime @ 7/4

15:00 Hearts vs St Mirren

Even though it has been a rough week for Hearts with manager Craig Levein falling ill and unable to take his place in the dugout this weekend, the hosts have been this seasons surprise package so far. Coming off the back of a 1-0 win over Kilmarnock last weekend, Hearts have remarkably won all three of their Scotish Premier League outings and now sit top of the table. Although top scorer Kyle Laferty may have made the swap to Rangers during the transfer window, it has been their defensive record that has caught the eye. Now winning their last eight competitive matches on the bounce, Hearts have recorded a clean sheet in five of their last six. As for St Mirren, now losing their last three on the bounce, it has worryingly been their form in the final third that has been the biggest dissapointment. Saturday’s visitors have now failed to register a single goal in any of those three defeats.

Tip: Home win to nil @ 6/4
