Saturday Football Accumulator Tips: Back PL trio in 42/1 five-fold

We're going big in our Saturday Football Accumulator Tips this week. I've lined up a five-leg acca paying out at over 42/1, with three Premier League picks, one from the EFL Championship, and one from Ligue 1 in France.

Check the five-leg selection out below, and take advantage of Betfred's Acca Flex bonus, which you can read about in more detail at the bottom...

Brighton & Hove Albion (H) to beat Leeds United (15:00) @ 9/10

Leeds United beat West Ham United 2-1 at Elland Road in the Premier League last Friday to move a point behind Brighton & Hove Albion, who lost 4-2 the following day at Manchester United.

Brighton will hope to return to winning ways this weekend back at home, where they are unbeaten this season. The Seagulls have picked up eight points from four games at the Amex Stadium, beating Manchester City and Newcastle United (both 2-1), and drawing with Fulham (1-1) and Tottenham Hotspur (1-1).

Football Odds

I'm backing Fabian Hurzeler's charges to do so as they host a Leeds side that have lost three of their four away matches in the league this term, failing to score in defeats to Arsenal (5-0), Fulham (1-0) and Burnley (2-0). They did beat Wolves 3-1 at Molineux on September 20, but the Old Gold are bottom of the division, having taken just two points from their first nine games.

Crystal Palace (H) to beat Brentford (15:00) @ 19/20

Crystal Palace have failed to win any of their last three Premier League contests, losing 2-1 at Everton and 1-0 at Arsenal, either side of a 3-3 draw at home to AFC Bournemouth, but they ended a four-game winless run in all competitions (D1, L3) in style on Wednesday, beating an admittedly understrength Liverpool side 3-0 at Anfield in the Carabao Cup fourth round.

Next, they host Brentford, who followed up league victories over West Ham United (0-2) and Liverpool (3-2) with a 5-0 thrashing of Grimsby Town (A) in the Carabao Cup on Tuesday.

Today's Football Fixtures

The Bees are full of confidence, but they had lost their first three Premier League away games this season, at Nottingham Forest (3-1), Sunderland (2-1) and Fulham (3-1) before defeating a hapless West Ham at London Stadium on October 20.

Palace should offer much more resistance at Selhurst Park, where they are undefeated in the league this term (W1, D3).

This could be a tight encounter, but at just under EVS, I'm siding with the Eagles here.

Nottingham Forest (H) to beat Manchester United (15:00) @ 5/2

The last Premier League fixture in this acca comes from the City Ground, where Nottingham Forest host Manchester United.

I've backed against the Red Devils in the last couple of weeks, and they've shown me up on both occasions, winning 2-1 at Liverpool before beating Brighton 4-2 at Old Trafford.

Yet, I just can't shake off the feeling that they're not particularly good. There's certainly potential in this side, yes, as you'd expect considering the money spent and the quality of the players brought in, but can they make it four wins on the trot? At 5/2, I think there's terrific value in backing Forest to claim all three points on Saturday.

The Tricky Trees won their first game under Sean Dyche, beating FC Porto 2-0 in the Uefa Europa League to end the Portuguese side's 10-match unbeaten run, and they have the players to pose similar problems to Ruben Amorim's men this weekend.

Forest did the double over the Red Devils last season, winning 3-2 at Old Trafford last December before edging them out 1-0 at the City Ground in April.

The supporters should be up for this one in Dyche's first home Premier League game, and that might just push them to victory.

Charlton Athletic (H) to beat Swansea City (15:00) @ 11/10

My single pick from the EFL Championship comes from The Valley, where Charlton Athletic entertain Swansea City.

The Addicks are currently sixth, three points ahead of the 13th-placed Swans, who were beaten 2-1 at home by Manchester City in the Carabao Cup on Wednesday.

Charlton have won three of their five home games in the league this season (D1, L1), including their last two against Blackburn Rovers (3-0) and Sheffield Wednesday (2-1), while Swansea have lost twice on their travels (W2, D1), failing to score in both defeats to Middlesbrough and Birmingham City (both 1-0), as well as their goalless draw at Southampton.

A home win for me, here.

AS Monaco (H) to beat Paris FC (18:00) @ 4/6

We end the evening in France's Ligue 1, with AS Monaco hosting Paris FC at the Stade Louis II.

Monaco, who finished third last season, have made a strong start to the current campaign, winning six of their first 10 games (D2, L2) to sit second heading into the weekend, just a point behind leaders and reigning champions Paris Saint-Germain.

PSG's neighbours, Paris FC, were only promoted to the top flight this year, but aren't being swallowed up by the competition, as they arrive in the principality in 12th, having won three times so far (D2, L5).

However, the visitors are winless in their last three (D1, L2), and have lost three of their five away games (W1, D2).

Monaco, meanwhile, are unbeaten at home (W4, D1), scoring 14 goals, and should have too much for their opponents this weekend.
