This weekend brings you hot 23-odds BoomBankers ACCA selected from exciting football fixtures across leagues in Europe, especially as top clubs in Europe’s top leagues return to league action after their involvement in UEFA club competitions midweek.
With the avalanche of games to choose from, the Boom Banker’s well researched Home Wins selections for this ‘exciting weekend of football actions’ are largely drawn from both the top and lower leagues across Europe.
Let’s play along!
MANCHESTER UNITED VS LEICESTER CITY
Manchester United face a quick turnaround as they entertain Leicester City in the first of two Premier League games on Sunday, having played out an entertaining 2-2 draw with Barcelona at Camp Nou on Thursday.
United boss Erik ten Hag could be tempted to rotate for this clash with Leicester ahead of next week’s second leg with the Catalan giants, while Casemiro will definitely drop out of the team as he completes a domestic suspension.
A United win would be the clear selection for this game if they didn’t have the Europa League tie with Barca to contend with despite Leicester’s good form.
Leicester have enjoyed some success over United in recent seasons and the Foxes have won three of the last five meetings between the two sides, losing just once in the last six.
However, Old Trafford has been a stronghold for Ten Hag’s men this term and they haven’t lost at home since a Europa League defeat to Real Sociedad in September, with their only domestic loss at home coming in the opening round of fixtures.
United have won 13 of their last 14 home games as Leeds halted that streak with a 2-2 draw last time out
This is unlikely to be anything other than a home win for Man United at 1.60 odds on BestBet360 to open our hot 23-odds BoomBankers ACCA.
UNION BERLIN VS SCHALKE 04
A creditable stalemate away to Ajax in the Europa League certainly disturbed Union Berlin’s preparations for this clash, yet they remain unbeaten across all competitions in 2023 and will enter this clash with confidence as they continue their pursuit of Bayern Munich.
The Iron Ones have been particularly strong at home this season and are one of only two remaining unbeaten home sides along with Bayern Munich (W7, D2).
Urs Fischer has been left frustrated by a pair of draws in both of their top-flight home H2Hs with Schalke, yet it could be third time lucky for the title-chasing Berliners.
Although Schalke have somewhat stopped their rot with three consecutive stalemates, the rock-bottom club remain seven points adrift of safety ahead of this round and without a win since November 2022.
Looking at Schalke’s away form makes for depressing reading for fans of the Royal Blues, as they’ve failed to win each of their last 37 Bundesliga road games (D11, L26). That’s an all-time negative record for any club in Bundesliga history, making any case for an away win particularly tenuous.
Union Berlin to win at 1.60 odds on BestBet360 comes handy.
BORUSSIA DORTMUND VS HERTHA BSC
It’s now seven straight victories for Borussia Dortmund in 2023 after a 1-0 win over Chelsea set them up perfectly for their upcoming Champions League second leg. Attention swiftly turns back to the small matter of the Bundesliga title race, as Dortmund welcome Hertha Berlin to Signal Iduna Park.
Edin Terzic’s Dortmund sit just three points behind league leaders Bayern ahead of this round, so they’ll hope to at the very least keep that gap as tight by consolidating their rock-solid record in home league games when priced up as the betting favourites (W7, L1).
That’s not to mention a nine-game unbeaten run of home H2Hs (W7, D2). Hertha Berlin will hope to spoil the party after recording a 4-1 win over Gladbach last time out, but the fact they’ve not recorded consecutive league successes in almost a year perhaps throws some cold water on their hopes.
Only the brave will back against Dortmund in their current form, anything short of a home win would perhaps prove the biggest shock of this Bundesliga weekend.
Backing Dortmund to secure a comfortable home win at 1.35 odds on BestBet360.
ATALANTA VS LECCE
Atalanta succumbed to a 2-1 defeat at Lecce shortly before the World Cup break, but their response since that setback has been good, allowing them to move into third place and build momentum behind their push for Champions League qualification. Lecce, meanwhile, have been inconsistent of late, and they are big outsiders for their bid to claim a similar result when they visit Bergamo on Sunday.
Atalanta have won four of their last seven games, culminating in last week’s routine 2-0 triumph at Lazio. If that scoreline was not impressive enough against a Biancocelesti side also competing for a top-four finish, La Dea created 3.0 expected goals and attempted 23 shots in a terrific performance. Each of Atalanta’s last four wins, a run featuring 8-2 and 5-2 scorelines, have come by more than one goal, and only Napoli (54) have now bettered their tally of 41 goals in Serie A this campaign.
Lecce, meanwhile, have only won once in their last six games, beating Serie A’s only winless outfit and bottom club Cremonese 2-0 a fortnight ago. Lecce were fortunate to claim a 1-1 draw against Roma last week after spending much of that contest under pressure and benefitting from an own goal, and their defensive performances have worsened of late – having only conceded multiple goals in three of their first 17 league games this term, they have now done so in three of their last five.
Atalanta to secure a routine home win comes at 1.51 odds on BestBet360.
AJAX VS SPARTA ROTTERDAM
Under the relatively new leadership of Johnny Heitinga, the Amsterdammers are playing at a much higher standard since Alfred Schreuder’s sacking, a statement backed up by their incredible 12-goal haul across the previous three rounds.
Ajax are perhaps hampered by their Thursday night Europa League clash when holding German title chasers Union Berlin to a draw here, although a return to Eredivisie action often spells goals as no side won more games with over 3.5 total goals than Ajax this season.
Although the gap may have extended by kick-off, Ajax have a chance to keep pace with the title race with victory here as they entered the round just three points behind the leaders Feyenoord. With five straight wins in home H2Hs though, they may be expectant of claiming all three points once again.
