Following a midweek of Cup matches, we bring you the BoomBanker’s 52 odds ACCA for home wins across Europe’s major leagues
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!
ARSENAL VS BRENTFORD
We begin the BoomBanker’s 52 odds ACCA in England. Arsenal’s surprise defeat at Everton last time out saw them lose back-to-back games for the first time this season but they should be able to get back to winning ways when they entertain Brentford on Saturday.
Both of the Gunners’ defeats came away from home, as they went down 1-0 to Manchester City in the FA Cup prior to the loss at Goodison, and the Emirates Stadium has been a fortress for Mikel Arteta’s men this term.
Arsenal may have one eye on their midweek showdown with title rivals City – but Arteta should still stick with his best XI for this potentially tricky match-up with in-form Brentford.
The Bees are unbeaten in their last seven league games in a run that stretched back to before the World Cup break, and includes wins over City and Liverpool, but Arsenal’s awesome home record suggests the home side can claim the spoils.
This is unlikely to be anything other than a home win for Arsenal at 1.41 odds on BestBet360.
BURNLEY VS PRESTON NORTH END
Burnley’s red-hot form will be put to the test by a Preston side boasting the third-best away record in the division when they meet at Turf Moor on Saturday afternoon.
Vincent Kompany’s Clarets continue to roll over good teams with relative ease and maintained their 17-point gap to third-place Middlesbrough with a 3-0 victory over Norwich last weekend.
That was their ninth consecutive league win and an 11th overall followed on Tuesday night when Nathan Tella’s stoppage-time goal saw off League One Ipswich in a cup replay.
However, the Clarets’ last three home victories have been much less impressive than their performances of November and December. They needed two goals in the last 15 minutes to come from behind against West Brom and it took until the 83rd minute for them to break Coventry’s resistance.
Burnley to win at 1.56 odds on BestBet360 comes handy.
LILLE VS STRASBOURG
France is the second call for the BoomBanker’s 52 odds ACCA. Despite the disappointment of being knocked out of the French Cup by Lyon on penalties in midweek, Lille must refocus if they’re to continue some strong form in Ligue 1 having lost only once in their last nine such games (W4, D4).
Lille can attest to the saying that there’s ‘no place like home’, as they haven’t been beaten at the Pierre-Mauroy stadium since August (W5, D3). They’ll be confident they can keep that form going, especially against a Strasbourg side that have lost five of the previous six H2Hs at all venues (D1), bookended by a 3-0 loss in the reverse fixture.
Strasbourg make this trip after winning two of their previous four league outings (L2), capped off by a 2-0 home win against fellow relegation contenders Montpellier last time out.
Ultimately, improving away performances could be the difference between relegation and safety for Strasbourg, and with only fellow strugglers Angers and Auxerre registering less than their nine points on the road in Ligue 1 so far (W2, D3, L5), there is plenty of work to be done.
Backing Lille to secure a comfortable home win at 1.49 odds on BestBet360.
STADE REIMS VS AUXERRE
Having flown under the radar so far this season, Reims’ fantastic 16-game unbeaten streak across all competitions (W7, D9) came to an unfortunate end in midweek Coupe de France action with a 3-1 loss to fellow top-flight opposition Toulouse. Their resilience has been rewarded with the safety of a mid-table spot in Ligue 1, proving themselves incredibly hard to beat by recording 12 league draws, the highest tally across Europe’s five largest leagues.
The Red and Whites have been dominant at the Stade Auguste-Delaune, winning four of their last six home matches whilst remaining unbeaten in that time (D2). Manager Will Still’s troops will therefore be buzzing with confidence as they seek their first Ligue 1 win over opponents Troyes after seven failed attempts (D3, L4).
Troyes may not be sharing the optimism of their hosts, after their 3-1 loss to Lyon last round extended their poor run that has now seen them win just one of their last 14 league matches (D6, L7).
Reims to secure a routine home win comes at 1.55 odds on BestBet360.
JUVENTUS VS FIORENTINA
Still coming to terms with their 15-point deduction for ‘financial irregularities’, a period of defensive fragility seems to be over for Juventus after picking up consecutive clean sheets, the second of which came in a thumping 3-0 victory over Salernitana in midweek, with coach Massimiliano Allegri peculiarly calling the game a ‘relegation battle’. There was another small win for Juve in that game too, with two goals and an assist for big money recruit, and former Fiorentina man, Dušan Vlahović, who finally ended his four-month SA goal drought.
His return to form may prove timely as Juventus aim to end their two game winless run at home in league action (D1, L1), conceding five goals across those games which accounts for 63% of their home SA seasonal tally. The omens look good for ending that run given Juventus have won eight of the last nine games here against fellow mid-table side Fiorentina (L1), with the only exception being a 3-0 defeat in 2020 when Vlahović interestingly scored the opener for the visitors!
Falling further away from European spots after a 2-1 defeat to Bologna, Fiorentina suffered jeers and insults from their fans after the game as their winless SA run stretched to four matches (D1, L3). That fan unrest disappointed club president Rocco Commisso, who ironically asked them if ‘reaching the Coppa Italia semi-final two years in a row is worth nothing’.
Juventus to prevail at 1.85 odds on BestBet360.
