The Boom Banker comes to you with sweet, well researched 19 odds Home Wins ACCA on a weekend heralding the last FIFA international break for the year 2023.
With many favourites having the advantage playing on their home turf this weekend, the Boom Banker’s Home Wins ACCA for this weekend are largely drawn from the top leagues across Europe.
Let’s play along!
MANCHESTER UNITED VS LUTON TOWN
Fresh from their chaotic Champions League implosion in midweek, Manchester United will attempt to return to winning ways when they welcome Luton Town to Old Trafford for a Premier League clash on Saturday.
While the under-pressure Red Devils currently sit eighth in the table, six points behind the top four, the Hatters are down in 17th place and are hovering just above the relegation zone on goal difference.
Drama seems to follow Man United wherever they go in what has turned into a calamitous campaign for Erik ten Hag’s side, who have suffered nine defeats in their opening 17 games of a season for the first time since 1973-74.
Following disastrous 3-0 home defeats to Newcastle United and Manchester City, the Red Devils briefly stopped the rot with a last-gasp 1-0 win over Fulham in the Premier League last weekend. However, Ten Hag and co have since suffered a huge blow in their quest to qualify for the last 16 of the Champions League after losing 4-3 to Copenhagen in an action-packed group-stage contest on Wednesday.
The pressure continues to mount on the shoulders of Ten Hag, who can ill-afford another setback in United’s final fixture before the international break at home to Luton, who have failed to win any of their last 11 meetings with the Red Devils in all competitions.
Man United enter Saturday’s match having already lost five home games this season, their most after 10 fixtures in all competitions since 1930-31 (also five); they have not lost three successive matches at Old Trafford since October 1962.
Luton will be motivated by the prospect of pulling off a significant scalp at the Theatre of Dreams as they endeavour to build on their admirable 1-1 draw with Liverpool at Kenilworth Road last weekend.
Luton’s valiant efforts against Liverpool have provided the Hatters fanbase with optimism that they can compete with the big boys this term, and they should not be taken lightly by an out-of-sorts Man United outfit on Saturday.
Anything other than a victory for Man United could increase speculation over Ten Hag’s future, and although the Red Devils look vulnerable at the back, the hosts should find a way to come out on top and head into the international break on a much-needed high.
This is unlikely to be anything other than a home win for United at 1.30 odds on BestBet360.
JUVENTUS VS CAGLIARI
After winning five games from six without conceding a goal, Juventus have announced themselves as genuine Scudetto contenders, and they tackle in-form Cagliari on Saturday evening.
Juve have ascended to second in the Serie A standings by grimly grinding out results; meanwhile, their Sardinian counterparts have scored eight times across three recent wins.
Enjoying their best start to a season since last winning the title back in 2019-20, Juventus are the closest challengers to Serie A leaders Inter after 11 matches – and their remarkable defensive record is largely to thank.
No team has recorded more clean sheets than the Bianconeri across Europe’s top five leagues – eight, alongside Ligue 1 club Nice – and their current streak of six on the spin represents the best such tally since they posted eight-in-a-row themselves between October 2022 and January 2023.
Having also won the Turin derby and beaten title rivals Milan of late, Juventus are a force to be reckoned with this season – and their year-long ban from UEFA competition seems to have been a blessing in disguise.
Between Serie A fixtures, Allegri has moulded a rigid back line on the training ground, and before putting it to the toughest test in Calcio – next week’s Derby d’Italia against Inter – his well-drilled side will host opponents who have rarely troubled Juve in the recent past.
The Bianconeri have won 11 of their last 12 league meetings with Cagliari, averaging 2.3 goals per game and recording eight clean sheets in the process.
Ahead of their trip to Turin, Cagliari have lost each of their last six away games against Juventus in the league, so precedent is certainly not on their side this weekend.
Although they have finally found a way to win, Cagliari have conceded more goals from open play than any other Serie A side this season (18), and they are not the most obvious candidate to end their hosts’ superb sequence of clean sheets. Victory would put Juventus top of the table – if only for a day – and that should inspire them to avoid any complacency.
Juventus to secure a routine home win comes at 1.35 odds on BestBet360.
REAL MADRID VS VALENCIA
Real Madrid will attempt to return to winning ways in Spain’s top flight when they resume domestic matters on Saturday evening with a contest against Valencia at Bernabeu.
Carlo Ancelotti’s side, who are second in the table, drew 0-0 with Rayo Vallecano in La Liga last weekend, while eighth-placed Valencia recorded a 1-0 win over Granada last time out.
Real Madrid booked their spot in the last-16 stage of the Champions League with two games to spare courtesy of a 3-0 success over Braga on Wednesday evening, with Brahim Diaz, Vinicius Junior and Rodrygo on the scoresheet for the most successful side in the history of European football.
However, Los Blancos were held to a goalless draw by Rayo in the league last weekend, and they have only actually won one of their last three in Spain’s top flight, which proved to be El Clasico at the end of October.
Ancelotti’s side are no longer at the top of the table, with Girona, who are having an extraordinary campaign, at the summit on 31 points, two points clear of second-placed Real Madrid, while Barcelona are two points behind their Clasico rivals in third position.
Real Madrid will be desperate to enter the international break off the back of a league success, and they have won each of their last five home La Liga games with Valencia, including a 2-0 victory in the corresponding match during the 2022-23 campaign.
Valencia recorded a 1-0 win when the two teams last met at Mestalla in May, though, and Los Che will certainly be the fresher of the two teams.
Valencia are capable of making this an uncomfortable match for Real Madrid, with Los Che boasting a number of talented players in the forward positions. Los Blancos will be determined to return to winning ways in Spain’s top flight, though, and they are poised to navigate their way to all three points on Saturday.
Real Madrid to win at 1.40 odds on BestBet360 comes handy.
LEEDS vs PLYMOUTH ARGYLE
Leeds United can strengthen their hold of third position in the Championship standings if they can overcome Plymouth Argyle on Saturday afternoon.
Meanwhile, last season’s League One champions make the trip to Elland Road sitting in 19th place, five points clear of the relegation zone.
Although Daniel Farke cannot claim to have made the perfect start to life at Leeds, it is becoming evident that everything appears to be in place to chase down second-placed Ipswich Town.
Last time out, the Yorkshire giants became just the second Championship side this season to defeat runaway leaders Leicester City as they prevailed by a 1-0 scoreline at the King Power Stadium.
While the gap remains at eight points, Leeds are growing in confidence, particularly at Elland Road where they remain as the only team to possess an unbeaten home record in the Championship.
Leeds have also conceded just twice in their last five outings at their home ground, something that will not have gone unnoticed by their next opponents.
For Plymouth this season, everything is centred around getting points on the board and surviving in the second tier, and securing results will need to come in various ways.
Last time out, Steven Schumacher’s side twice found themselves trailing at home to Middlesbrough before they scored a 77th-minute leveller to earn a 3-3 draw at Home Park.
Although Plymouth have generally impressed on their return to the second tier, they are probably playing Leeds at the wrong time. The home side is expected to dominate this fixture and prevail with a win and clean sheet, keeping the pressure on Ipswich above them.
Backing Leeds to secure a comfortable home win at 1.25 odds on BestBet360
BAYER LEVERKUSEN VS UNION BERLIN
Bayer Leverkusen will be aiming to win their seventh successive game in the Bundesliga when they host Union Berlin on Sunday.
The visitors finally ended their 12-match losing streak in all competitions by drawing away to Napoli in the Champions League on Wednesday, but they will head into this match occupying the relegation places.
Leverkusen, on the other hand, secured their 11th consecutive victory in all competitions by winning 1-0 against Qarabag FK in Azerbaijan on Thursday, which booked their place in the last-16 of the Europa League as winners of Group H.
Indeed, Xabi Alonso’s side will bypass the last-32 stage of Europe’s secondary competition – which takes place in February – meaning they can fully focus on maintaining their status at the top of the Bundesliga, as well as their progression in the DFB-Pokal over the next few months.
Alonso’s only concern may be that his team have begun to concede more goals in recent weeks – they have only kept one clean sheet in their last six games – but if they can continue to attack with such potency, this should not stop them in their tracks any time soon.
Having been defeated in 12 successive matches prior to their trip to Naples in midweek, Union Berlin could hardly be in more contrasting form to their forthcoming opponents on Sunday. However, Urs Fischer’s side showed serious grit and defensive resilience to claim a point at Napoli on Wednesday, finally putting an end to their losing streak.
In terms of form, this could be the biggest mismatch in European football this weekend, but that does not paint the full picture. Union Berlin are a much better team than they have shown so far this season, and their confidence will have been boosted by drawing away to Serie A champions Napoli in midweek.
However, Leverkusen are a serious attacking force at present and have more strings to their bow in terms of breaking their opponents down.
Bayer Leverkusen to prevail at 1.30 odds on BestBet360.
