BTTS Acca Tips: This weekend's 10/1 offering
This weekend’s BTTS Acca is priced at just over 10/1 with SBK, with each game kicking off at 3pm on Saturday afternoon.
Crystal Palace vs Wolves
We’ll kick things off in the Premier League, where a Crystal Palace side fresh from upsetting title-favourites Manchester City welcome Wolves to Selhurst Park. Patrick Vieira’s side look really sharp at the moment and have found the net at least once in each of their previous five games, scoring twice in three of those matches but also conceding six goals in that time.
They face a Wolves side who themselves look invigorated after a slow start. Bruno Lage’s men have won four and drawn one of their previous five games, with BTTS landing in their last four. This game looks primed for a both teams to score score-line and will be my first pick in this weekend’s acca.
Bournemouth vs Swansea
Next up we’re delving into the Championship where leaders Bournemouth welcome a resurgent Swansea to the Vitality Stadium. Only Fulham (43) have scored more goals than the Cherries in the league this season (27) and I don’t see them finding many issues in front of goal this weekend.
Bournemouth did fall to their first defeat of the season against Preston in midweek, however, shipping two goals after previously looking rock solid at the back. Swansea, who have scored seven goals in their last four games, have the potential to exploit this on Saturday.
Nottingham Forest vs Preston
BTTS has landed in Nottingham Forest’s last two games, while they haven’t kept a clean sheet on home soil all season. Preston, fresh from rocking league leaders Bournemouth in midweek, will be full of confidence here and I expect them to get on the scoresheet at least once. Although, with just one clean sheet from their last five away games, it’s difficult to envisage them shutting out Forest completely.
Gateshead vs Altrincham (FA Cup)
With no League One or Two action on this weekend due to the FA Cup first round, the prestigious competition completes my four-fold with an all-non-league affair in Gateshead vs Altrincham looking like a tidy BTTS play. The hosts have been free-scoring on home soil this season, netting 3+ goals in all but one of their home games so far - the other seeing them score twice.
Altrincham’s last five games have all ended with both sides finding the net, and due to them being in a league above I expect their quality to yield them at least one goal in the north-east. Defensively the Manchester-based club have been all at sea, though, so expect Gateshead to also find some joy in the final-third.
