Football Accumulator Tips: 31/1 five-fold from Saturday’s EFL action

The curtain comes down on the 2024/25 EFL season on Saturday with lots at stake across the three divisions. With much on the line, I've hand-picked five matches from the day's roster to put together a football accumulator for the day.

Check out my Football Accumulator Tips below, which pay out at an enticing 31/1.

Football Odds

Burnley to beat Millwall (H) @ 8/13 

Burnley have secured promotion back to the Championship at the first attempt but Scott Parker and his players are fighting for the Championship title on the final day. They are level on 97 points with leaders Leeds United, whose superior goal difference puts them in the driving seat for the trophy.

The Clarets will be hoping the Whites slip up at Plymouth Argyle while they get their job done at home to Millwall. The Lions head to Lancashire hoping to end the day inside the play-offs. They are level with Coventry City in sixth on 66 points and they ideally need a win to finish in the top six.

They face a tough test as Burnley are 32 games unbeaten in the second tier and are yet to be beaten at Turf Moor. I expect the hosts to keep that record intact and I'm backing them to get the win they need, even though I doubt it will be enough to secure them the title.

Luton to beat West Brom (A) @ 11/8

At the other end of the table, Luton Town will look to avoid back-to-back relegations when they travel to The Hawthorns to face West Bromwich Albion. The Hatters have built some strong momentum at the right time in their fight for survival. They are on a winning run of three games, thanks to Shandon Baptiste's last-gasp winner at Coventry last weekend.

They face an Albion side who blew their shot at the play-offs, with just one win in their previous nine appearances in the Championship. The Baggies have nothing to play for on Saturday whereas the visitors are fighting for their lives. They know a win will see them maintain their second-tier status and I fancy them to do just that.

Derby to beat Stoke (H) @ 11/10

Both Derby County and Stoke City are also going into the final day with the risk of relegation. The Rams secured a huge victory at fellow battlers Hull City last weekend to take them a point outside the bottom three and they've now won two games on the spin.

The same can't be said for the Potters who have lost two in a row against Leeds and Sheffield United. They will be expected to be more competitive against Derby but a packed-out Pride Park will make this a tough trip for Mark Robins' side.

John Eustace has given Derby a fighting chance for survival and he could establish himself as one of the best coaches in the division by keeping them up on Saturday. I'm going for a home win.

Birmingham and both teams to score - No against Cambridge (A) @ 7/5

The last two legs come from League 1 and we start at the Abbey Stadium as champions and EFL record-breakers Birmingham City face Cambridge United. The Blues sit on 108 points, the most of any English team in history but this is a record they share with Red Star Belgrade (2021/22) and Verdy Kawasaki (1994/95) in the world record books.

They have the chance to put themselves in a league of their own in Cambridgeshire, while also claiming the most wins in a single EFL campaign with three points.

The Blues have won their last three games to nil in the third tier, while it has been a successful bet in 42% (19/45) of their fixtures across the campaign, including a 4-0 reversal against Cambridge at St Andrew's back in February.

Reading to beat Barnsley (H) @ 7/10

The Select Car Leasing Stadium is where we round off our acca as Reading host Barnsley, with the Royals fighting to finish inside the League 1 play-offs. They are level with Leyton Orient in sixth on 75 points, with the O's boasting a better goal difference.

Reading will be hoping for a favour from Huddersfield Town as they look to do their part against the Tykes. Considering Reading's off-field troubles, it's remarkable that they are in this position given how many obstacles they have to face.

The Royals have won their last two matches heading into the weekend, featuring a 5-1 hammering of Mansfield Town. Barnsley were once in the conversation for the play-offs but their form tailed off massively and they have just one win in their previous 11 fixtures in the third tier.

They have nothing to play for here and they are going to be surrounded by a packed-out home crowd, who I think will spur Reading on to victory.
