October 29th: Saturday’s Football Accumulator – 11/1

While the 2022 World Cup might be right around the corner, we have a string of eye-catching domestic showdowns on our hands this weekend. So, for those of you who are looking to stick on a Saturday acca, we have found a handful of helpful tips that are worth keeping an eye out for.

Saturday October 29th

BST 12:00 Bristol City vs Swansea

Putting in another impressive display last weekend as they claimed a 2-0 victory against bitter rivals Cardiff, Swansea are in the midst of what has been a stellar purple patch. Only continuing to gain a string of plaudits since opening the 2022/23 campaign, Russell Martin’s men have been tipped as a leading pick in this season’s play-off chase. With the mood around the Liberty at a red-hot high, the former MK Dons boss has now seen his side win six of their previous seven Championship outings. With that run underlined by a thrilling 3-2 comeback victory against Reading earlier in the month, Saturday’s guests have also found quite the clinical edge in the final third. Sat just three points adrift of breaking into the automatic promotion places, Martin’s high-flying squad should be confident of laying down another marker this weekend. On the flip side, last seen making an immediate return to losing ways thanks to a 2-0 defeat against Reading, Bristol City are enduring another sluggish run of form. Slipping out the top-half of the Championship table, Nigel Pearson’s men have picked up just a pair of wins from any of their last nine second-tier contests. Likewise, with Swansea claiming back-to-back victories when they faced off against the Robins last season, an away draw no bet can be found at appealing odds here.

Tip: Swansea draw no bet @ 5/4

15:00 Brighton vs Chelsea

Booking their spot in the knockout stage of this year’s Champions League earlier in the week, Chelsea appear to be enjoying life under new boss Graham Potter. Appointing the former Brighton boss last month, Saturday’s guests are also in the midst of an extended unbeaten run. Along with claiming a 2-1 victory away at Salzburg on European duties a few days ago, the Blues are unbeaten in each of their previous nine appearances across all formats – a run that stems back to September 6th. While the Premier League giants might have been heartbroken to have watched Manchester United snatch a last-gasp point at Stamford Bridge last weekend, Chelsea will be looking to lay down another marker here. With Potter making a return to his former employers on Saturday afternoon, the Seagulls have struggled to fill the 47-year-old’s void on the south coast. Last seen getting hit with a 3-1 loss away at defending champions Manchester City, Brighton are yet to pick up a single victory since welcoming Roberto De Zerbi to the club. Without a win in any of their previous six straight Premier League outings, the ex-Shaktar boss has also seen his new squad bag just a single strike in over 360 minutes of action. Likewise, with Chelsea unbeaten in their last six trips to the Amex, we’re backing an away win here.

Tip: Chelsea win @ 3/2

15:00 Gateshead vs Solihull Moors

While Solihull Moors might have been heartbroken to have missed out on the chance to secure a maiden Football League campaign last season, Neal Ardley’s men have once again impressed since opening the 2022/23 campaign. Last seen putting in another routine display as they picked up a 2-0 victory away at Maidenhead, the Midlands-based outfit are enjoying another extended purple patch. Opening up this weekend’s fixtures sat third in the table and tipped as a leading pick to claim another play-off finish, the Moors have won four of their last five matchups across all formats. Likewise, enjoying a three-match domestic winning run, Solihull have gained a reputation for their rugged displays at the back. Keeping three consecutive clean sheets, Saturday’s guests should be smelling the chance to make another statement here. While Ardley’s side might be battling it out at the top of the National League table, the same cannot be said for a struggling Gateshead. Now suffering back-to-back 3-1 losses against Scunthorpe and Woking over the past week, the Tynesiders have also mustered just a single victory from any of their last seven attempts. Showing some extended issues at the back and in a real battle to extend on their fifth-tier status this season, we’re backing an away victory here.

Tip: Solihull Moors win @ 5/4
