The midweek games are starting to dwindle, as leagues around the world - Europe in particular - draw to a close, but I've managed to pick out four on Tuesday - a couple each in Saudi Arabia and England.

Check out my Football Accumulator Tips below for Tuesday, May 20, paying out at 19/1.

Al-Taawon (H) to beat Al-Riyadh (17:20) @ 19/20

We kick things off in Buraidah, Saudi Arabia, where Al-Taawon host Al-Riyadh at Buraidah Stadium for their penultimate Saudi Professional League match of the season.

Both sides sit in the top half, with Al-Taawon (eighth) four points ahead of their next opponents (ninth). The highest Al-Riyadh can finish is eighth, while Al-Taawon can still catch Al-Ettifaq in seventh.

Al-Riyadh won the reverse fixture 1-0 on January 21, but the visitors were reduced to 10 men in the 77th minute - nine in the 13th minute of stoppage time - and the hosts' goal didn't arrive until the 11th minute of added time, with Mohamed Konate converting a spot-kick.

Neither side is in sparkling form heading into this contest, with Al-Taawon having won just one of their last six league games, while it's just one in eight for Al-Riyadh.

However, it's Al-Taawon who hold the advantage, in my opinion, as they are at home, where they have accrued 23 points in 2024/25 - four more than they have on their travels - and have lost just three of their last nine in all competitions.

Al-Riyadh, meanwhile, have picked up 18 points on their travels, and have been particularly poor away from home this calendar year.

In 2025, Al-Riyadh have lost seven of their nine travel matches (W1, D1, L7), suffering five successive defeats before beating Al-Khaleej 2-1 last time out, but even then, they were 1-0 down until the third minute of second-half added time, and didn't net the winner until the 14th minute.

This looks like it could be a close contest, but with few games on offer this Tuesday, it may be worth siding with the hosts here in an acca.

Al-Shabab (H) to beat Al-Ittihad (19:00) @ 23/20

Staying in Saudi Arabia, newly-crowned SPL champions Al-Ittihad take on Al-Shabab at Al-Shabab Club Stadium in Riyadh.

Led by 21-goal marksman Karim Benzema, ably supported by the likes of Houssem Aouar, Steven Bergwijn, Moussa Diaby and N'Golo Kante, Al-Ittihad have warded off the threat of Al-Hilal and won the league with two rounds of fixtures to spare.

Now, it's celebration time for Laurent Blanc's side, and that makes them an attractive team to bet against.

Al-Shabab don't have much left to play for, either, as they cannot finish higher or lower than their current standing of sixth, but I'd hazard a guess that they've been more focused on Tuesday's game than their visitors.

They've also won their last two matches, which includes an impressive 3-1 victory over AFC Champions League winners Al-Ahli, and they've averaged two points per home game this season, claiming 32 from 16 contests so far.

Al-Ittihad, meanwhile, have been much less impressive on their travels, picking up 15 fewer points away from home, and they've only won one of their last five games at Al-Shabab, losing on their last visit in November 2023.

With the King Cup final against Al-Qadisiya to come later this month (May 30), this could be a match in which Blanc shuffles his pack, offering a rest to his most senior players like Benzema and Kante, which would significantly decrease their chances of winning on Tuesday.

Al-Shabab, therefore, are an enticing option in Tuesday's acca at 23/20.

York City (H) to beat Oldham Athletic (19:45, DAZN) @ 8/11

The first of two National League play-off semi-finals this week comes from the LNER Community Stadium on Tuesday, as York City host Oldham Athletic.

York finished the regular season as runners-up to champions Barnet, bypassing the play-off quarter-final stage, which Oldham had to get through after only finishing fifth.

The Latics subsequently thrashed FC Halifax 4-0 to make the final four, but they'll have to raise their level even further this week as they take a trip to York, who ended the campaign on 96 points - 23 more than they amassed.

Oldham did hold York to a 1-1 draw at the LNER Community Stadium last month, an impressive result considering the Minstermen boasted the second-best home record in the National League in 2024/25, with 52 points from a possible 69 collected. Adam Hinshelwood's side won 16 of their 23 home matches, only losing three times.

Micky Mellon's Oldham, meanwhile, haven't won on their travels since February 8, drawing four and losing three of their seven away games since, a worrying statistic heading into Tuesday's contest.

Oldham have match fitness on their side, as York haven't played since May 5, but the hosts will be well rested after such a long season, and given they finished so far ahead in the table, the expectation is that the Minstermen will have too much for their opponents here, something I'm happy to go along with.

Wolverhampton Wanderers (A) to beat Crystal Palace (20:00) @ 9/5

Concluding this acca is Wolverhampton Wanderers' trip to Selhurst Park to take on FA Cup winners Crystal Palace in the Premier League.

Wolves were last in action on May 10, losing 2-0 at home to Brighton & Hove Albion, their second defeat on the bounce after a 1-0 defeat at Manchester City had brought a six-game win streak to an end.

Palace, meanwhile, are sure to be in celebratory mood after winning a major trophy for the first time in their history on Saturday, beating Man City 1-0 at Wembley thanks to a first-half strike from Eberechi Eze.

Like Al-Ittihad, mentioned earlier in this article, Palace's focus has been away from Tuesday's match, and it could be hard for them to get going again so soon after such a high.

I'm expecting Oliver Glasner to make a few changes to his starting XI following Saturday's cup success, and that should open the door for Wolves to slip in and take all three points.

The visitors are currently 14th, but could finish as low as 17th, so they will be desperate to make sure that doesn't happen, and instead, their eyes will be on overtaking Everton in 13th.

Wolves' impressive results under Vitor Pereira saw the Portuguese head coach nominated for the Premier League Manager of the Season award, and he'll be eager to avoid ending the campaign on a losing run.

With the likes of Matheus Cunha and Rayan Ait-Nouri on his side, I can see Pereira and the Midlands club taking advantage of the euphoria around the Eagles on Tuesday.
