Portugal vs Armenia
Portugal’s shock 2-0 loss to the Ireland on Thursday night means they still have work to do in their qualification bid but Roberto Martinez’s men can go through the gears against minnows Armenia, even in the absence of the suspended Cristiano Ronaldo.
Azerbaijan vs France
France have their place at next year’s World Cup in the bag and Les Bleus can end their campaign in style against Azerbaijan. Aykhan Abbasov is in temporary charge of the hosts, who have conceded 13 goals in their five qualifiers, were hammered 3-0 in Paris and lack the quality to keep up with Didier Deschamps’ men.
Ukraine vs Iceland
Ukraine and Iceland are battling for a playoff spot and on the evidence of the Blue and Yellow’s 5-3 victory in Reykjavik last month, Serhiy Rebrov’s side should be backed to freeze out their visitors.
Italy vs Norway
Italy need to beat Norway by a nine-goal margin to surpass the Red, White and Blue at the top of UEFA’s World Cup qualifying Group I and the Azzurri may struggle to even register a win at San Siro. Norway have won all seven of their Group I games, scoring 33 goals and conceding only four.

Football acca FAQs
What is a football accumulator (acca)?
A football accumulator, commonly referred to as an ‘acca’, is a single bet that combines multiple individual bets into one. Each selection within the accumulator must win for the bet to pay out, offering higher potential returns but at increased risk compared to single bets.
Can I place an acca on different markets?
Yes, you can combine various markets in an acca, including match winners, total goals, both teams to score, and more. However, most betting platforms require that selections within an accumulator are not related to ensure the bet is valid.
What is the advantage of placing an accumulator bet?
The main advantage of an accumulator bet is the potential for higher returns from a smaller stake since the odds of each selection are multiplied together. It adds excitement to watching multiple matches, as each leg of your acca needs to be successful for a return.
