Newell’s vs River Plate Preview
Argentina, Primera Division, Sunday, April 16th, 20:30 (UK)
River Plate are in action as they head to Newells on Sunday Night. They have made a good start to life after Marcelo Gallardo. The hugely popular manager left the club after last season. Former Manchester City defender Martin Demechelis has come in and picked up where he left off. River are top of the league by four points after 11 matches.
Whilst not being one of Argentina’s big five, Newell’s are still a massive club. They haven’t won the league since 2013 and they will need to improve if they want to qualify for next season’s Copa Sudamericana. They have 18 points after 11 matches.
Newell’s vs River Plate Best Bet
River Plate are generously priced to win this one. They have been in fine form at both ends of the pitch under Demichelis. They have a positive goal difference of 16 at this stage. River have also kept clean sheets in five of their seven away matches. They also have an xG of 2.0, the second-best in the league.
Newell’s have struggled so far. They are averaging less than a goal per game but they have been bailed out by their solid defence. River are more than capable of breaking them down. Unde Gallardo, they won their last three matches at this ground. They also won 4-1 the last time these sides met.
- Selection: River Plate To Win (TRACKED BET)
- Best Odds: 1.95 (Unibet)
- Stakes: 8/10

Independiente vs Racing Club Preview
Argentina, Primera Division, Sunday, April 16th, 23:00 (UK)
There is another heavyweight clash in Argentina to look forward to on Sunday night. Independiente are the most successful club in the history of the Copa Libertadores with seven wins. They have suffered a slump in recent years and made a disastrous start to the season. Los Diablos Rojos have nine points so far and are languishing near the bottom of the table.
Racing Club will also be far from pleased with the start they have made. They are 10th in the league but a series of wins could see them fly up the table. Racing Club were the first team in Argentina to win seven consecutive league titles and are considered one of the big five.
Independiente vs Racing Club Best Bet
Racing Club have beaten Independiente in five of the last six meetings between the sides. They also have the joint fourth-best xG in the league at this early stage but have been underperforming the metric. However, they are scoring 0.19 more goals per game than they are conceding so I fancy them to do well against a side that are struggling.
Independiente have won just one of their 10 league matches so far. This was an opening-day victory over Talleres Cordoba. Pedro Monzon’s men have the 5th worst xG in the league and the lack of goals could be an issue here.
- Selection: Racing Club To Win (TRACKED BET)
- Best Odds: 2.10 (bet365)
- Stakes: 7/10

Corinthians vs Cruzeiro Preview
Brazil, Primeira Division, Sunday, April 16th, 20:00 (UK)
Our final bet is in the Brazilian top flight which gets underway this weekend. Corinthians welcome newly-promoted Cruzeiro to the Neo Quimica in what should be an entertaining match. Corinthians last won the league in 2017 and they finished fourth last season.
Cruzeiro have a good record against Corinthians but the sides haven’t met since 2019. They were exceptional last season when they earned promotion back to the Serie A but taking on one of the division’s top sides in their first match could be a step too far.
Corinthians vs Cruzeiro Best Bet
Cruzeiro’s matches last season were very corner-friendly. Their last 20 competitive matches have seen an average of 11.6 corners per game. While this is definitely a step up in class, they will be keen to impress on their Serie A return. They will also be buoyed by the fact they have won four of their last five matches against Corinthians.
Corinthians’ last 10 competitive matches are averaging over 10 corners per game. We are going to double the corner’s angle with the home side to win or draw. Their quality should shine through in this one but they will wary of the threat posed by the visitors.
- Selection: Over 9 Corners In The Match & Corinthians Double Chance (TRACKED BET)
- Best Odds: 1.79 (bet365)
- Stakes: 7/10

WHAT IS A FOOTBALL ACCA?
A football acca is an accumulator bet, a type of bet that consists of several selections across different matches that are combined together into one single bet. An acca usually. consists of at least four selections but many more can be included. There will be odds for the single bet as a whole which is calculated by multiplying the odds of all of the selections. A football acca is one of the most popular ways to bet. This is the case because they can create potentially massive odds for a small stake. Many punters choose to create football accas which is what we have created here. If one of these selections loses then the football acca will lose. This type of bet needs every selection to win in order to succeed.
