Football Accumulator Tips: A Saturday 25/1 Treble attracts

We have a big-priced treble for you in our Saturday Football Accumulator Tips column this week.

25/1 for this bet feels like a great price as we back Newcastle to keep up their good form on the banks of the River Thames, plus betting against two sides woefully out of form and short on confidence...

Leg 1 - Fulham vs Newcastle United - Away Win

Eddie Howe’s men haven’t been impressive in any of their games so far this campaign but the results have been more than solid. A battling 1-0 home win against Southampton after being reduced to ten-men in the first half opened their campaign.

A draw at Bournemouth followed, which was helped by a dodgy VAR decision ruling out an injury time winner for the home side but they beat Spurs and scored twice late to get past Wolves.

The return to availability for Sandro Tonali has been a boost that the Geordies needed and Joe Willock has shown real class in his two appearances so far. A midfield three of those two plus Bruno Guimaraes could be the key to getting Alexander Isak better service up the field. The Swede has looked isolated and out of sorts in the four games so far and is now an injury doubt for Saturday's clash, one to maybe watch closely when the team sheets come out.

As for the home side, they have enjoyed a relatively quiet start to the season. They were a tad unlucky to not get anything from Old Trafford on the opening night but they bounced back with a close win over Leicester before sharing the spoils with both Ipswich and West Ham in their previous two.

Travelling to the capital has not been a fruitful experience for Newcastle in recent years but in their previous five matches at Craven Cottage, the fans haven’t made the long trip home without a huge smile on their face as they’ve won them all. Backing the Toon to win away in recent times has been a tough ask but Fulham seems to be a place where they play well and the odds are more than fair enough.

Leg 2 - Leicester City vs Everton - Home Win

Backing a team to beat Everton at home feels like a pretty good bet with the way things are going for Sean Dyche’s men but getting 6/4 makes it a great bet for any accumulator this weekend.

The home side have yet to enjoy three points in their return to the top flight but they’ve been in every single game. They took a point from Spurs and were an injury-time penalty away from taking all three at Selhurst Park last time out.

This leg though is primarily about my thoughts on Everton. The pressure is clearly building on their manager and having thrown away two goal leads against Bournemouth and Aston Villa and coming away with nothing from either game is not a good look.

Confidence and form have deserted the Toffees and this feels like a make or break game. Defeat would really ramp up the rhetoric and former manager David Moyes is available.

An Everton fan is currently sitting behind me in the office and he even thinks they’ll lose. Pessimism is certainly spreading among their fans and Leicester are no pushovers. I love the odds on offer here either as part of an accumulator but it might be one of the best singles on Saturday’s coupon.

Leg 3 - Bolton Wanderers vs Reading - Away Win

Our office is full of diverse football fans and a Bolton one is sitting a couple of banks back and he came in this morning even more glum about his team's prospects than the Evertonian!

Recent results though do show why as losing 0-2 to Exeter City plus a 0-4 home shellacking to Huddersfield Town is not exactly what you’d expect from one of the pre-season promotion favourites.

Plenty of column inches have been written about Ian Evatt’s position at the club as they seem to be suffering from a post play-off final defeat hangover. Something feels wrong about what is going on at the Toughsheet Stadium and even though mid-table Reading aren’t the most fearsome of opponents, they couldn’t have picked a better time to make the trip to Great Manchester.

The price is big but the treble comes in at 25/1 and that for me feels like very reasonable odds.
