Coleraine vs Glenavon Preview
Northern Ireland, Premiership, Friday August 26th, 19:45(UK)
Coleraine have produced a rapid start to life in Northern Ireland’s Premiership. The Bannsiders sit top of the tree after three games, playing the role of crowd pleasers and registering 2+ goals in each outing. Glenavon, who make the 65-mile jaunt to Coleraine, are without a victory, having played just two games – both of which have seen Glenavon go down to nine men.
Glenavon boss, Gary Hamilton, feels aggrieved that recent decisions haven’t gone his side’s way and spoke after the Larne loss about how the same happened in 21/22. That feeling will likely emanate within the squad, something which is not always ideal when playing against a collective wounded animal.
Coleraine vs Glenavon Best Bet
Glenavon will be without four starters due to said suspensions, one of the main reasons this selection stood out amongst others.
Coleraine striker Matthew Shelvin is on fire with five goals in the last two games. A delectable lob and an impressive header with his back to goal downed Portadown 0-2 away from home. A hat-trick made light work of Carrick on Tuesday, as two poacher-like finishes accompanied a Shelvin effort where he rounded the keeper and slotted home.
The prices of 1.67 at Boyles, 1.73 with PP, and 1.75 at Coral/Ladbrokes makes bet365 the bookmaker of choice.
- Selection: Coleraine Over 1.5 Goals
- Best Odds: 1.61 (William Hill)
- Stakes: 7.5/10

Chobry Głogów vs Wisła Kraków Preview
Poland, I Liga, Friday, August 26th, 19:30 (UK)
Wisła Kraków were relegated to the I Liga for the first time since 1996 after losing 4-2 against Radomiak Radom in the penultimate game of the 2021/22 season. Now, they face the task of bouncing straight back, a task they’ve started well with 5/7 victories.
Chobry Głogów’s top goalscorer from last term, ten-goal Mikołaj Lebedyński, left to Stal Mialec for £18k in the summer to test himself in the Ekstraklasa. Lebedyński wasn’t the only one vacating to pastures new. Michał Rzuchowski, who hit the second-highest goal total with six left to sit on the bench at Śląsk Wrocław along with goalkeeper Rafał Leszczyński. The man between the sticks left for a summer high of £45k to, so far, warm the benches throughout Poland’s top tier.
Chobry Głogów vs Wisła Kraków Best Bet
Although 12 faces left the recently-relegated capital club, the summer business appears to have steadied the ship. Incomings from the Ekstraklasa as well as the Greek Super League and La Liga 2, to name just a few, provide the experience to ready an assault back to Poland’s highest division.
In the hope that Wisła Kraków continues their fine vein of form and Chobry Głogów’s missing personnel casts questions over the squad’s performance, odds against for the win is something many will likely side with.
- Selection: Wisła Kraków Over 1.5 Goals
- Best Odds: 1.95 (William Hill)
- Stakes: 7.5/10

Brentford vs Everton Preview
England, Premier League, Saturday, August 27th, 15:00(UK)
With the news that Chelsea continues to court Anthony Gordan and stump up a new bid totalling £60m including add-ons, don’t be surprised if the 21-year-old is left out of the matchday squad. It’s a sizeable fee and an avenue the club may not want to scupper through injury. No Gordon or Calvert-Lewin likely means a front three of Gray – Rondon – McNeil for the trip to Brentford.
The home side’s opening three sides have been full of goals, including a 4-0 romp versus Manchester United at home. Everton, who are still looking for their first win, were victims of a Premier League Brentford double last term. A 2-3 victory against a ten-men, Brathwaite-less Everton at Goodison was the highlight, following a 1-0 Ivan Toney penalty-inspired home win.
Brentford vs Everton Best Bet
Considering the Gordon void, Demarai Gray will take the reigns as Everton’s leading man up top in terms of creativity and goal threat. There were six attempts alongside his goal last time out against Forest. In the two games prior, Gray hit two versus Aston Villa and a solitary blocked shot up against Chelsea in the curtain-raiser.
The opening price here was 2.10 for 2+ and 4.33 for 3+, but after a flurry of money changed hands for the Everton winger upon market opening, we’ll have to settle for 3.40 for the trio.
- Selection: Demarai Gray 3+ Shots
- Best Odds: 3.70 (William Hill)
- Stakes: 5/10

Sheffield Wednesday vs Forest Green Preview
England, League One, Saturday, August 27th, 15:00 (UK)
The League One pairing heads into Saturday’s fixture with sizable card averages from the season’s first five games. For the hosts, Sheffield Wednesday, a 3.20 cards received per90 total throws shade over Forest Green’s 2.50.
So far, Sheffield Wednesday card totals are as follows: 5* (includes one red card), 4, 1, 3* and 1. Forest Green’s card totals this season: 4, 2, 3, and 1.
Sheffield Wednesday vs Forest Green Best Bet
In addition to the card-happy start, Simon Mather takes the whistle for the Saturday afternoon fixture. Mather showed his true colours (mainly yellow) on the season’s opening day, handing out eight yellows. If either side are willing to rack up the fouls once more, Mather will play ball. Across the 32 officiated games last season, Mather stumped up 137 yellows and ten reds, brandishing 40+ booking points in 18/32 – safe hands.
- Selection: Over 3.5 Cards in Match and Card Each in 2nd Half
- Best Odds: 1.95 (William Hill)
- Stakes: 8/10

Aston Villa vs West Ham Preview
England, Premier League, Sunday, August 28th, 14:00 (UK)
As I write this, there may be a bit of recency bias creeping onto the page. Aston Villa’s midweek trip to Bolton in the cup wasn’t as comfortable as they’d have liked, and neither were the legs of Bolton’s midfielders after 71 minutes of Boubacar Kamara hacking the life out of their pins.
Somehow, the former Marseille man escaped a booking, something which I’ll be trying to figure out for the next week or so. In the Premier League this term, Aston Villa are averaging 2.67 cards received per90. The totals for Villa’s matches to date: 1, 4, and 3.
Aston Villa vs West Ham Best Bet
One should anticipate more than a few tricky periods on Sunday encouraged by a West Ham side on the back of three successive losses. In the middle, David Coote provides plenty of reassurance and fuels the fire in terms of prospective bookings. In 20 outings in 2021/22, Coote summoned 4.65 cards per90 on average, with 3.45 coming after the first 45 minutes.
- Selection: Aston Villa 2+ Cards & Aston Villa Card in SH
- Best Odds: 1.88 (William Hill)
- Stakes: 10/10

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.
