Football Accumulator Tips: Brazil & World Cup co-hosts headline 21/1 Sunday five-fold

There's a mix of club and international football for Sunday's acca as we head to China, Brazil and the USA for our five-fold.

Read below for my Football Accumulator Tips for Sunday 31 May, with this acca paying out at over 21/1.

Both Teams to Score - Yes in Wuhan Three Towns vs Yunnan Yukun (7:35pm local, 12:35pm BST) @ 1/2

Wuhan Three Towns and Yunnan Yukun have both seen 71% (10) of their 14 Chinese Super League games this season finish with both teams scoring.

For Wuhan Three Towns, BTTS-Yes has been a winning bet in the last six matches, which includes five score draws, the last three with at least four goals.

Yunnan Yukun were beaten 3-2 at home by Qingdao West Coast last time out, and that’s the sixth time in the last eight games that Both Teams to Score has landed.

The two clubs have faced off twice before, with Wuhan Three Towns winning 3-1 at Wuhan Sports Centre in April 2025 before losing 2-1 at Yuxi Plateau Sports Center Stadium four months later.

Both Teams to Score - Yes in Palmeiras vs Chapecoense-SC (4pm local, 8pm BST) @ 5/4

Heading into this weekend’s round of fixtures, Chapecoense and Palmeiras ranked joint-fifth and joint-seventh, respectively, in the Campeonato Brasileiro’s ‘Both Teams to Score’ table.

Both teams have struck in 69% (11) of Chapecoense’s league games this season, while BTTS-Yes has been a winning selection in 65% (11) of Palmeiras’ 17, rising to 75% on home soil.

Palmeiras were 3-0 winners at Flamengo last weekend, but they were indebted to a 21st-minute red card shown to Jorge Carrascal with the score at 0-0; prior to that victory, Palmeiras had drawn four consecutive league games 1-1.

Chapecoense, meanwhile, have seen both teams score in their last six Serie A matches, including their last three away from home.

With Palmeiras in Copa Libertadores action in midweek, and some of their best players set to link up with their national teams ahead of the 2026 FIFA World Cup, there’s an opening here for Chapecoense, who can at least make this a competitive contest at Allianz Parque.

Ceara (H) to beat Operario (4pm local, 8pm BST) @ 9/10

Moving down to Serie B, Ceara host Operario at Castelao in Fortaleza.

Ceara, who were relegated from Serie A last year, have picked up 13 points from their first 10 games of the season, just like Operario.

Eight of Ceara’s points have come on home soil, where only Atletico GO (0-1) have beaten them. Last time out at Castelao, Ceara edged out Fortaleza 2-1.

Operario, meanwhile, have collected four points from as many away games, losing their last two to Vila Nova (2-1) and CRB (3-0).

The last time these two teams met in Fortaleza, in September 2024, the hosts came out on top, winning 2-1, and I think something similar will unfold this Sunday.

Both Teams to Score - Yes in USA vs Senegal (3:30pm local, 8:30pm BST, Premier Sports 1) @ 10/11

The USA play two friendlies before kicking off their World Cup campaign against Paraguay on 13 June, with the first arriving this Sunday against Senegal, whose final warm-up game is against Saudi Arabia on 10 June ahead of their World Cup opener against France six days later.

Mauricio Pochettino’s Stars and Stripes were beaten 2-0 by Portugal in their last match on 1 April, but had scored in their previous six friendlies.

Pape Thiaw’s Senegal, meanwhile, have scored in six of their last seven friendlies, including both earlier this year as they followed up a 2-0 victory over Peru on 28 March with a 3-1 win against Gambia three days later.

Both sides are likely to make a lot of changes in this game, utilising all possible substitutes, so there’s unlikely to be much fluency or defensive solidity, which makes Both Teams to Score a good bet at the Bank of America Stadium in Charlotte, North Carolina.

Panama +3 Handicap vs Brazil (8:30pm local, 10:30pm BST) @ 4/5

Panama haven’t lost a game by more than one goal since suffering a 6-1 friendly defeat to Chile in February 2025, losing just two of their last 16 matches in regulation time, both to Mexico (1-2, 0-1).

Brazil, meanwhile, have only won three of their last seven games, with just one of those victories, a 5-0 friendly thrashing of South Korea last October, seeing the Selecao win by more than two goals.

Once again, expect to see a lot of rotations and substitutions, disrupting the fluency of the game.

Panama will dig in, replicating what they will attempt at the World Cup, so I don’t see Brazil tearing apart their opponents at the Maracana in Rio de Janeiro.
