The Daily Acca: An 11/2 boost from the continent

Real Madrid to get their hands on another trophy

Bet 1: Back Real Madrid @ 8/11 – KO 18:30 GMT

Real Madrid needed extra time to see-off Barcelona in the semi-finals of the Spanish Super Cup, but I expect them to get the job done inside of 90 minutes in the final.

Their opponents are Athletic Bilbao, and they beat Atletico Madrid 2-1 in their semi on Thursday.

That last bit of information is of some significance as Real have had an additional 24 hours rest.

It also can’t be debated that Carlo Ancelotti’s men have been the stand-out Spanish side this season, and they beat Bilbao on two occasions last month.

Another cracker at the top of Serie A

Bet 2: Back BTTS in Atalanta v Inter @ 1/2 – KO 19:45 GMT

Inter are the current leaders in Serie A, and they can move four points clear of AC Milan if they win their game in hand here.

Unfortunately for Simone Inzaghi’s side, they are away at Atalanta, and the hosts can close the gap on Inter themselves to just five points if they get the victory this evening.

Serie A has been full of goals in recent years, and things have really ramped up in 2022. Seven of the hosts’ last eight at home have seen this selection land, and the visitors are yet to fail to find the net in an away game.

Marseille to take the points

Bet 3: Back Marseille @ 13/10 – KO 19:45 GMT

Lille haven’t been able to put up much of a defence of their Ligue One title this year, but they have climbed to 11th, thanks to an unbeaten run of seven – three of which were wins.

That run could come to an end at Stade Vélodrome tonight though, as Jorge Sampaoli’s team are in third place, and they have two games in hand over Nice in second.

Their recent form is good too – unbeaten in six in all competitions, winning on five occasions. They have stuttered slightly at home in the league, drawing too many matches, but they are a big price to put that behind them tonight.
