Scott Thornton's Saturday Night Football Acca Tips: June 25th
The major leagues may have stopped for the summer, but there is still plenty of action to get stuck into on Saturday. I’ve picked out some of my favourite picks in a variety of different markets here.

River Plate vs Lanus Best Bets
Sunday, June 26th, 00:30 (UK Time)
Argentine giants River Plate have been exceptional in recent years under the highly-rated Marcelo Gallardo, and after three matches without a win they returned to winning ways by putting five past Union Santa Fe in their last match. River are known for their attacking football, and they should create a whole host of chances against Lanus here.
Lanus have four wins in their last 10 matches in all competitions, and their games have been light on the goals front in that period. They average just over one goal per game, while their opponents average just under. However, River have scored 11 goals across the last three meetings with Lanus.
River Plate to score over one goal in the match and have five or more corners is priced at 2.50 with the bet365 bet builder. As previously stated, River’s recent matches against this opponent have seen them scoring at will, and the constant attacking threat lends itself to corners.
River are averaging over seven corners per game at home this season. Lanus’ opponents are over six corners per game in their away matches this season, and I expect this trend to continue here.
- Selection: River Plate Over 1 Goal & River Plate 5 Corners Or More
- Best Odds: 2.50 (Bet 365)
- Stake: 7/10

Corinthians vs Santos Best Bets
Saturday, June 25th, 23:00 (UK Time)
Two heavyweights of Brazilian football clash on Saturday night, and we should see an entertaining affair. Corinthians have started the season well and are just three points behind the league leaders Palmeiras. Santos are ten points off the top of the table and they will need to improve significantly to come away with all three points here.
Corinthians beat Santos 4-0 midweek when they met in the cup, and they will be confident of getting a result here. Both teams are likely to make changes to the teams that started in the week, but Corinthians are unbeaten at home in their last 16 matches. Santos have won just two of their last 10 matches in all competitions, so I’m more than happy to back the home side to secure victory here.
Corinthians are priced at 2.00 to win on bet365. They are conceding an average of just 0.3 goals per game in their last 10 home matches, and Santos themselves are averaging less than a goal per game in their last 10 away matches.
- Selection: Corinthians To Win
- Best Odds: 2.30 (Bet 365)
- Stake: 8/10

Atletico Mineiro vs Fortaleza Best Bets
Sunday, June 26th, 01:00 (UK Time)
The final match we are going to look at also comes in Brazil. Last season’s league winners Atletico Mineiro are taking on struggling Fortaleza, and I expect them to pile on the misery for Fortaleza here.
Atletico Mineiro have scored eight goals in their last three matches against Fortaleza. They are also averaging over two goals per game in their last 20 away matches, so I’m expecting them to find the net a couple of times here against a team battling relegation.
We can get 2.25 using the bet builder on bet365 for Atletico Mineiro to score two or more goals in the match, and for them to win at least four corners. Atletico are averaging over eight corners per game in their last 10 matches in all competitions, While Fortaleza’s opponents are averaging over six corners per game in their last 10 away matches. This makes the four or more line very appealing here.
- Selection: Atletico Mineiro Over 1 Goal & 4 Corners Or More
- Best Odds: 2.25 (Bet 365)
- Stake: 8/10
