October 22nd: Sunday’s European Accumulator – 5/1

With another stacked schedule from across all of Europe’s elite this weekend, Sunday certainly promises a host of noteworthy affairs.

So, for those of you who are looking to stick on a Sunday accumulator, we have found a trio of helpful tips that are worth keeping an eye out for.

Sunday, October 22nd

BST 15:15 Girona vs Almeria

Heading into October’s international break with a gritty 1-0 victory away at Cadiz, it is no secret that Girona are enjoying a remarkable La Liga purple patch. Enjoying a stunning run of form since opening up the 2023/24 campaign and riding what has been a major wave of momentum, Sunday’s hosts will be relishing their return here. Opening this weekend’s fixtures sat second in the table and continuing to receive a string of plaudits, Michel’s high-flying squad will certainly be smelling a golden opportunity in Catalonia. Already mustering 22 points from just their first nine La Liga appearances, Girona have also won seven of their previous eight top-flight showdowns – a run that stems all the way back to August 12th. With their record-breaking flurry highlighted by an action-packed 5-3 win against Mallorca last month, Michel’s side are rightfully tipped as a standout contender here. While Sunday’s hosts might be enjoying a history-making start to the new campaign, Almeria are dealing with a string of public issues. Although Gaizka Garitano’s side might have just about clung to their La Liga status last season, the Andalusia-based outfit are billed as a leading relegation contender this time around. Heading into the fortnight interval with a woeful 3-0 drumming at the hands of Athletic Bilbao, Almeria face another stern examination this weekend. Two sides battling it out at opposite ends of the La Liga table, we are expecting a routine victory here.

Tip: Girona win @ 8/15

16:30 Aston Villa vs West Ham

While Aston Villa might have been disappointed after entering October’s international break with just a 1-1 draw away at local rivals Wolves, Sunday’s hosts have continued to gain a string of plaudits. Making real history last season as they claimed a famous European return, Unai Emery’s side have their sights firmly set on mounting a genuine top-six charge this time around. Excited to make a return from the fortnight interval here, the one-time Arsenal boss will be calling on his squad to make a heavyweight statement on home soil. Signing off September with a stunning 6-1 romp against Brighton, a huge part of Villa’s success has come thanks to their remarkable record in the Midlands. In fact, along with an action-packed 3-1 victory against Crystal Palace last month, Emery’s side have won each of their first three Premier League showdowns in front of their own supporters by an aggregate score of 13-2. On the flip side, making their own piece of blockbuster history last season as they were crowned Europa Conference League champions, West Ham have also impressed many since opening up the 2023/24 campaign. Heading into October’s international break with a 2-2 stalemate at home against Newcastle, David Moyes’ men also find themselves scrapping it out in the top-six chase. Two sides who have a habit of producing plenty of action they meet, chances could come thick and fast at Villa Park on Sunday afternoon.

Tip: Oli Watkins to score anytime @ 7/5

20:00 Real Valladolid vs Andorra

After losing their La Liga status last season, it is no secret that Real Valladolid have their sights firmly set on securing an immediate top-flight return this time around. Although Sunday’s hosts might have entered October’s international break with a 2-0 defeat at the hands of Espanyol, Paulo Pezzolano’s side have largely impressed since opening up the new Segunda campaign. Still mustering 15 points from their previous six second-tier appearances and marking their return this weekend with just their goal difference keeping them outside the play-off places, Valladolid have also gained a recent reputation for their continued success on home soil. Including an action-packed 3-2 win against Mirandes in their last showdown in front of their own supporters, Sunday’s hosts have won each of their previous three Segunda contests at the Jose Zorrilla by an aggregate score of 7-2. Looking to make up some ground in the top-two chase here, Valladolid will be confident of cashing in on an Andorra squad that have shown some rather glaring issues on the road. Although the Tricolours might have entered October’s international break with an eye-catching 2-0 victory against Alcorcon, that is the only win that they have claimed from their last five Segunda appearances. Likewise, almost sat in second-tier limbo, Eder Sarabia’s inconsistent squad have lost each of their previous four contests away from the Estadi Nacional by an aggregate score of 12-5.

Tip: Real Valladolid win @ 4/5
