October 22nd: Saturday’s Football Accumulator – 7/1

While the 2022 Qatar World Cup might be just around the corner, it will be Europe’s elite that takes center stage once again this weekend. On that note, we have found a handful of helpful tips that are worth keeping an eye out for if you’re looking to place a Saturday acca.

Saturday October 22nd

BST 15:00 Morecambe vs Barnsley

While Barnsley might have once again lost their Championship status last season, Saturday’s guests have their sights firmly set on an immediate second-tier return. Despite being last seen playing out a 0-0 stalemate away at Bolton, Michael Duff’s men should find the mood in their camp at a real high. Opening this weekend’s fixtures battling it out in the play-off places, the Yorkshire-based outfit should be smelling the chance to lay down a marker here. Likewise, on a run that is highlighted by an action-packed 4-2 victory against Doncaster earlier in the month, the Tykes have lost just one of their previous nine matchups across all formats. With that impressive run of form stemming all the way back to August 30th, Barnsley have also continued to shine with their rugged displays on the road. Suffering just a single League One defeat away from Oakwell since opening the 2022/23 campaign, Duff’s side will be looking to cash in on a Morecambe squad that are enduring a real third-tier nightmare. Last seen getting hit with a 2-1 loss away at Harrogate, Saturday’s hosts find themselves sat rock-bottom of the table. Mustering just a single point from any of their last five League One outings, the Shrimps should be set for a tough test here. Likewise, losing three of their last four showdowns on home soil, we’re backing an away victory for the promotion contenders this weekend.

Tip: Barnsley win @ 19/20

15:00 Gillingham vs Barrow

Although some in Gillingham’s camp might still be looking over their shoulder at the drop zone, Saturday’s hosts are enjoying what has become an eye-catching run of form. Last seen picking up an impressive 1-1 draw at home against league leaders Stevenage, Neil Harris’ side are now unbeaten in each of their previous six domestic matchups across all formats. Likewise, with their recent boost underlined by a last-gasp 1-0 victory at home against Sutton when opening October, the former Millwall boss has been filled with praise for his side’s welcomed flurry. Suffering just a single defeat since back on August 31st, the Kent-based outfit have also gained a reputation for their rugged approach. Despite initially struggling with life back in League Two after losing their third-tier status over the summer, Gillingham appear to have found their feet. Desperate to try and widen their buffer over the drop zone this weekend, Harris’ side should be looking to lay down a marker here. Although Barrow might have claimed a much-needed EFL Trophy victory in midweek, that shouldn’t cover what has been a real downbeat run for the Bluebirds. Losing each of their last four League Two outings by an aggregate score of 6-1, Saturday’s guests have come tumbling down the standings. Likewise, losing three of their previous four appearances on the road, a home draw no bet can be found at appealing odds here.

Tip: Gillingham draw no bet @ 20/21

19:45 Fiorentina vs Inter Milan

While Inter Milan might have shown some worrying issues on either side of September’s international break, it appears that the Italian heavyweights have put those issues behind them. Last seen picking up a routine 2-0 victory at home against Salernitana at the San Siro, it is no secret that the Nerazzurri have their sights set on recapturing their Serie A crown this season. Now unbeaten in each of their last four appearances across all competitions, Simone Inzaghi’s men also find themselves sat in pole position to book a Champions League knockout stage ticket. Collecting four points from their back-to-back meetings against Spanish icons Barcelona this month, the ex-Lazio boss has also seen his side find a recent clinical edge in the final third. Looking to kickstart their campaign and break back into the European places here, Inter Milan will be calling on Lautaro Martinez to spearhead their charge on Saturday night. Now finding the net in back-to-back outings, the 25-year-old will be looking to test a struggling Fiorentina outfit. While the Purples might be enjoying a real European romp this season, this weekend’s hosts are enduring a hugely concerning domestic blip. Having to settle for a 1-1 draw away at Lecce earlier in the week, Vincenzo Italiano’s men have remarkably recorded just a single victory from their previous nine Serie A showdowns. With Inter picking up back-to-back wins in Florence, we’re backing a similar outcome here.

Tip: Inter Milan win @ 6/5
