Saturday Football Accumulator Tips: EFL picks and French leaders in five-fold

Saturday’s Football Accumulator Tips takes us around the EFL and over to France, as we search for another winning five-fold. 

I’m feeling confident on this one, but is my confidence misplaced?

Ipswich (H) to beat Blackburn @ 1/2

Ipswich are good, Blackburn are not. That’s the jist of this selection as we get up and running with a home win. Kieran McKenna’s men are in a hunt for the title alongside Coventry City and Middlesbrough, with Ipswich currently eight points behind the Sky Blues with a game in hand. 

They’ve got the best squad in the league, have won three of their last four and should be able to brush aside a Blackburn outfit in relegation danger. 

Wrexham (H) to beat Norwich @ 1/1

Wrexham are in flying form right now having won their last four Championship matches and beaten Nottingham Forest on penalties in the FA Cup. That winter run has propelled them to within a point of the play-offs and I think they are in fine shape to break into the top six over the second half of the season. 

Norwich have improved under Philippe Clement but they sit in the bottom three with plenty of work still to do. Josh Sargent looks to be on his way out and they’ve lost two of their last three in the league. Fancy the hosts. 

Football Odds

Portsmouth (A) to beat Sheff Wed @ 23/20

I will consistently back Sheffield Wednesday to lose this season for reasons that barely need noting right now. Off the field problems have left them with a really poor and shallow squad that has only one once all season. 

That win came against Portsmouth in the reverse fixture, but that was a shock and relegation is a certainty for the Owls. Pompey don’t fill me with confidence and they are in serious danger this season, but I will back them to beat this dreadful Sheff Wed outfit at a decent price. 

Stockport (H) to beat Rotherham @ 8/15

Stockport County went through a bit of a sticky patch over Christmas, dropping to fourth in the League 1 table, but they are still one of the best teams at this level and have now won their last two outings. They will have their eyes set on closing the six-point gap between themselves and second, and will be targeting a big win over Rotherham United.

The Millers are 22nd, have lost their last three in all competitions without scoring and they’ve lost their last eight on the bounce. Would take something special to save them this term.

Lens (H) to beat Auxerre @ 4/9

Over to France now and league leaders Lens are back in action on home soil. I’m somewhat surprised by this value here given they are hosting Auxerre, the second-worst team in Ligue 1 right now. 

Auxerre sit 17th with just 12 points to their name, while Lens are top having won 13 from 17 - including each of their last nine outings in all competitions. Should be comfortable for the hosts.
