BoomBanker’s 25-odds Home-Wins ACCA is your best bet as clubs in Europe’s top leagues return to league action after their involvement in midweek Cup matches.
With the avalanche of games to choose from, the Boom Banker’s well researched Home Wins selections for this exciting weekend of football action are largely drawn from both the top and lower leagues across Europe.
Let’s play along!
INTER MILAN vs VERONA
Inter Milan’s hopes of clawing their way back into the Scudetto race were dented by last week’s 2-2 draw at Monza, in which the Nerazzurri shipped a 93rd-minute equaliser. Simone Inzaghi’s team – who have gone five games unbeaten either side of the World Cup break – are looking to bounce back from that disappointment against struggling Verona on Saturday, and their strong attacking record makes them clear favourites to do so.
Indeed, only Sampdoria have matched Verona’s tally of 30 goals conceded in the Italian top-flight this season, though Marco Zaffaroni’s team appear to have taken advantage of the World Cup break, winning four points since returning to action after losing 10 consecutive league games ahead of the tournament.
Inter Milan have gone unbeaten through their last five games, winning four of them.
BoomBanker’s 25-odds Home-Wins ACCA says this is unlikely to be anything other than a home win for Inter Milan at 1.30 odds on BestBet360.
ATALANTA vs SALERNITANA
Atalanta went into the World Cup break in dire form, losing three successive Serie A games to slip out of the top four after losing just one of their first 12 this season. While La Dea’s poor run looked set to continue on their return against Spezia, a last-gasp equaliser spared their blushes before they clinched a 2-1 win at Bologna. Sunday’s game against Salernitana now represents the ideal opportunity for Gian Piero Gaspernini’s team to build some momentum.
Salernitana approach Sunday’s match in the midst of a five-game winless run, with Davide Nicola’s men drawing at home to Torino in their last outing. Concerningly, Salernitana have lost the expected goals (xG) battle in six consecutive games, conceding multiple goals in four of their last five. On the road, Nicola’s men have shipped 16 goals in eight Serie A outings.
Given Atalanta’s superior attacking quality and Salernitana’s poor run, backing the hosts for victory appears a no-brainer.
Atalanta to win at 1.38 odds on BestBet360 comes handy.
LILLE vs TROYES
Lille play host to Troyes on Sunday afternoon looking to extend their unbeaten record in Ligue 1 in six matches.At a time when the home side sit in seventh position in the standings, Troyes occupy 13th spot, four points above the relegation zone. Lille have been nothing short of inconsistent this campaign, frequently posting draws and defeats to end any momentum before it has really been generated.However, Paulo Fonseca’s side have now lost just once in the last nine matches, away at Lyon at the end of October, and they have come through their most recent five league fixtures without suffering defeat.
From Troyes’ perspective, they make the trip to the Stade Pierre-Mauroy having prevailed in just one of their last 13 games in France’s top flight.
Collecting six draws during that period has kept Troyes out of the bottom four, but the home defeat to Marseille last time out has left the club looking over their shoulder.
Troyes also have recent unhappy memories of this fixture having lost to Lille on away territory as recently as last weekend, that match taking place in the Coupe de France.
Backing Lille to secure a comfortable home win at 1.42 odds on BestBet360.
LENS vs AUXERRE
Lens must beat Auxerre in Ligue 1 on Saturday to ensure that they remain ahead of Marseille in second place in the table.
The visitors, meanwhile, are aiming to avoid a fifth successive league defeat.
Having finished seventh in each of their two seasons back in Ligue 1 following a five-year absence from France’s top flight until their promotion in 2020, Lens continue to go from strength-to-strength under the management of Franck Haise.
Only their fiercest rivals Lille have managed to beat Les Sang et Or in the league so far this season, with the benchmark of their campaign undoubtedly arriving with their 3-1 victory against Paris Saint-Germain on New Year’s Day.
Indeed, Auxerre suffered a hugely damaging 5-0 defeat at home to Toulouse on Wednesday, which was the first time that they had ever conceded five goals at home in France’s top flight.
Eleven defeats from their opening 18 games marks Auxerre’s worst-ever start to a season, but they are still only one point adrift of safety having only returned to Ligue 1 via the second tier’s playoffs at the end of the last campaign.
Lens to secure a routine home win comes at 1.33 odds on BestBet360.
MARSEILLE vs LORIENT
Marseille could move up to second in the table by beating Lorient in Ligue 1 on Saturday.
The visitors, meanwhile, will be aiming to return to winning ways after drawing against Monaco in midweek.
Indeed, should Lens fail to beat Auxerre earlier in the day, Marseille could jump up to second in the table should they manage to put together a sixth successive league victory.
Former Hellas Verona boss Igor Tudor has settled in nicely after moving to the South of France during the summer, helping his side gain 39 points from 18 matches after their 2-0 win away to Troyes on Wednesday.
Although crashing out of Europe altogether after finishing bottom in their Champions League group will remain a blemish on Tudor’s copybook, it does at least allow his players additional recovery time between games for the rest of the season, potentially helping them achieve their primary aim of automatic qualification for Europe’s elite competition.
Although their forthcoming opponents have defied expectations for the majority of the campaign so far, beating sides such as Lorient at Stade Velodrome could prove to be a necessary requirement if they are to do so.
Marseille to prevail at 1.38 odds on BestBet360 to round up BoomBanker’s 25-odds Home-Wins ACCA
