Football Accumulator Tips: Scotland to suffer in 11/1 Friday five-fold

We were scrambling around for fixtures to fill this column in the first few days of the week, but the international window is now well and truly alive, and in Friday's Football Accumulator Tips, there are four Fifa World Cup qualifiers to check out, alongside a single contest from Serie B in Brazil.

This five-leg acca is worth 11.48/1, and you can check it out below...

Match Result - Denmark (H) to beat Scotland (19:45 BST, BBC Two) @ 4/7

Three wins from eight games makes for poor reading for Denmark, but all three of those victories have come in their last four, putting to bed a poor second half of last year, when they won just two of their final 10.

Despite a rocky run of results in the final six months of 2024, Denmark's home record remains impressive, with only Spain (1-2), in a Uefa Nations League match last November, managing to beat them there since a 1-0 defeat to Croatia in June 2022. The Danes have won 25 of their last 28 home games in all competitions (D1, L2).

Scotland, meanwhile, have won their last three away games, beating Poland (1-2), Greece (0-1) and Liechtenstein (0-4), the first of those victories ending a six-game wait (D1, L5) for a win on their travels.

Steve Clarke's side will be desperate to start their qualification campaign with a positive result in Copenhagen, but having beaten Portugal (1-0), Northern Ireland (2-1) and Lithuania (5-0) on home soil in 2025, Denmark will be confident of adding the Scots to their list of victims at Parken Stadium on Friday.

To Win to Nil - Croatia (A) to Win to Nil vs Faroe Islands (19:45 BST) @ 8/11

Croatia have romped to victory in their opening two qualifiers, blitzing Gibraltar (A) 7-0 on June 6 before thrashing the Czech Republic (H) 5-1 three days later.

Next up for Zlatko Dalic's side is a trip to the Faroe Islands, who lost their first two Group L games, against the Czechs (A) 2-1 and Montenegro (A) 1-0, before getting points on board with a 2-1 victory over Gibraltar (H) on June 9.

On paper, they stand next to no chance of achieving a positive result on Friday against the world's 10th-best international side, who beat France 2-0 in the first leg of their Uefa Nations League play-off tie on March 20, and were only knocked out by Les Bleus on penalties in Paris three days later.

The Croats have kept two clean sheets in four outings so far this year, while the Faroe Islands have blanked in half of their four matches. I'm backing the visitors to win at Torsvollur and to record a shutout.

Today's Football Fixtures

To Win to Nil - Greece (H) to Win to Nil vs Belarus (19:45 BST) @ 4/7

Like Croatia, I expect Greece to win their Friday qualifier and keep their goal secure.

Greece ended last year with six victories from their final seven games, recording five shutouts in that run, and after their first four matches of 2025, Ethniki boast a 3-1 record. They've won their last three games, keeping two clean sheets - the first away to Scotland (0-3) on March 23.

Belarus have also won three of their four games this calendar year, but they're yet to play a competitive fixture, with their three victories, over Tajikistan (5-0), Azerbaijan (2-0) and Kazakhstan (4-1), against nations outside the top 100, whereas Greece (39) are in the top 40.

In six competitive matches last year, all in League C of the Nations League, Belarus blanked three times, ending their campaign with just three goals.

Greece denied Kazakhstan (5-0), Finland (3-0) and the Republic of Ireland (2-0) from scoring in Greece last year, while two of England's three goals (0-3) came after the 77th minute.

After routine friendly victories over Slovakia (4-1) and Bulgaria (4-0) in June, this should be another easy win for Greece on Friday, with a clean sheet to accompany the three points at the Georgios Karaiskakis Stadium in Piraeus.

Both Teams to Score - Yes in Slovenia (H) vs Sweden (19:45 BST) @ 10/11

The final World Cup qualifier in this acca, Slovenia host Sweden at Stadion Stozice in Ljubljana.

Group B is yet to get underway, so all four nations - Switzerland host Kosovo in the other game - begin Friday night level on zero points.

Sweden and Slovenia will both fancy their chances of finishing in the top two of Group B, and getting off to a good start could be crucial to their chances of progression.

I'm expecting a lively affair in Ljubljana, with both sides getting on the scoresheet. Slovenia have scored in seven of their last 10 games, conceding in half (five), while Sweden have struck in nine of their last 10, keeping just four clean sheets.

BTTS-Yes has landed in half (five) of Sweden's last 10 games, and four of Slovenia's last 10.

Total Goals - Under 2.5 in Paysandu PA (H) vs Volta Redonda (23:00 BST) @ 8/15

From Europe to South America, we head to the Brazilian second division for the final game of this acca.

At the Leonidas Sodre de Castro in Belem, Serie B's two lowest-ranked sides, Paysandu (20th) and Volta Redonda (19th), do battle, with two points separating the teams heading into Friday's fixture.

Scoring goals has been the problem for both clubs this season, with only Volta Redonda (14) netting fewer times than Paysandu (20) after 24 games.

Unsurprisingly, Volta Redonda are top of the 'Under 2.5 Goals' table, with 83% (20) of their league matches featuring two or fewer strikes, while Paysandu are fifth with 71% (17).

Six of Paysandu's last seven games have gone under 2.5 goals, while Volta Redonda's last five have produced two or fewer.

The last three head-to-heads have finished with two or fewer goals, including Volta Redonda's 1-0 win at the Raulino de Oliveira on May 5.
