Weekend Football Accumulator Tips: 3/1 Treble in our 3-3-3 Column

The 3-3-3 column sees our European Weekend Accumulator tipster take a trip through Portugal, Italy and France this week as he looks to built on his current Profit/Loss stats for the 25/26 season.

Let's see if Jamie can do this thing with one game on Saturday evening and a pair on Sunday as we take in his Weekend Football Accumulator Tips...

Last year, the 3-3-3 column returned a profit of 17 points, which means that if you’d backed every treble recommended over the course of the season for level £10 stakes, you’d be up by £170.

That’s one of the better returns you’ll see in the tipping business and speaking of returns, Jamie Pacheco is returning again this year to do try to do it all over again, and maybe even improve on it.   

Welcome to the 3-3-3 betting column. Why is it called that? Glad you asked.  It’s not a formation to play when you’ve had a man sent off but rather:

3 - The number of different selections making up the acca.

3 - The number of different (non-English) European Leagues the selections are taken from every week.

3 - The minimum odds (3/1) or 4.0 if you prefer, that the acca will come to it every week.

And it really is as simple as that. The selections can be from any betting markets, as long as they meet the criteria set out above.  And to round things off, every week I’ll leave you with a cool (or at least I think so) bit of trivia involving one of the teams featured in the acca. Simples...

2025-26 season Current P and L: +3.09 pts  

2024-25 season’s P and L: + 16.9     

We fell at the first hurdle last week when we failed to get a BTTS match in Udinese v Atalanta, with only the hosts scoring, and for good measure the other two selections lost, too. That’s fine by me. Makes no difference if two lose, one loses or they all lose. But we’re still in decent profit as we know and will look to build on that further.  

• Santa Clara v Sporting Lisbon  
• Saturday 8th November 20:30  
• Back Sporting to win and over 1.5 goals 8/11  

If ever you wanted an example of an under-the radar manager who keeps his nose clean and just gets on with the job without craving the limelight, then look no further than Sporting’s Rui Borges.  

And boy, does he get the job done. A midweek draw at Juventus, rewarding backers of the Sporting/Draw option on the Double Chance market as advised in my preview of that match was just the latest positive result on this watch.  

But draws don’t do it if you’re going to win this division so it’s a good thing that he’s also won six of his last seven in the league, only slipping up against Braga in a 1-1 draw.  

Sporting should be too good for 8th placed Santa Clare here and given they’ve only won one match this season 1-0, we can go in search of a slightly bigger price by adding that the game will have at least two goals in it.    

• Angers v Auxerre  
• Sunday 9th November 16:15  
• Back over 37.5 bookings points 4/7  

Auxerre’s home games have produced an endless number of cards this season. All six of them had four or more yellows in them, meaning this bet would have won in all of them. Four of those matches had a red card in them, one of them had two. They’re 3/5 away from home for games with four or more yellows.  

As it happens, Auxerre are away this weekend, and their stats aren’t quite as strong on the road, but Angers have a 60% strike rate of their own for home games that clear 37.5 points.  

Ref A. Kherradji, in charge of this one, has refereed five games this season, showing two red cards. All five went over 37.5 points.   

• Roma v Udinese  
• Sunday 9th November 17:00 
• Back Under 2.5 Goals 4/5  

Not that it would have made much difference because the other two would have lost anyway but I regret not having included another ‘unders’ selection involving Roma last week when they travelled to Milan. I left out the selection because Milan scored a few of late but maybe that’s missing the point: even teams who do tend to score some goals get dragged into low-scoring affairs when they’re up against Roma.  

And not only did that one end 1-0 to Milan but Roma followed it up with yet another ‘unders’ match when they travelled to Rangers on Thursday night and beat them 2-0.  

At home in Serie A they have an 80% strike rate for ‘unders’ including all of their last four and they’re also 80% for less than three goals away from home. 

Udinese’s matches aren’t quite as tight and they’re 50% for the season in terms of the ‘overs’ and ‘unders’ split but they’re also fresh from a 1-0 matc.h so the potential is there at a slightly bigger price than what we would have expected.   

Jamie’s Fun Fact  

Santa Clara is on the island of Sao Miguel in the Azores meaning Sporting obviously have to fly to get there. But it’s not the only team in the division you need to fly to, the same being true of Nacional, which are from the island of Madeira, home to a certain Cristiano Ronaldo.
