MrFixIt’s Big Acca is a confidence-ranked accumulator built to give you control over risk.
Selections are ordered from strongest to weakest based on form, matchup, and underlying performance. You decide where to stop. From the third selection onward, the cumulative odds update at every step, allowing you to lock in a sensible acca or keep building toward a bigger return.
This midweek sees me focus on the World Cup, as well as selections from Iceland and the Republic of Ireland.
One list. Multiple exit points. You choose the risk level.
The top two in the Icelandic Besta deild karla meet at the Vikingsvollur on Tuesday night as leaders Vikingur host second-placed KR in a fixture that screams goals.
KR’s opening 10 league outings this campaign have averaged a staggering 6.10 goals per game, with Over 3.5 Goals landing in all 10 (100%) of them, whilst seven of Vikingur’s last eight have gone Over 2.5 Goals.
Goals also look likely at the Samsung vollurinn tomorrow evening as eighth-placed Stjarnan host fourth-placed Breidablik.
After seeing just three goals scored across their opening three league outings this season, Breidablik’s next six have averaged a staggering 5.67 goals per game, with all six (100%) producing a minimum of three strikes, whilst 8/10 (80%) of Stjarnan’s clashes in the Icelandic top flight this term have seen Over 2.5 Goals land.
Runaway Irish First Division leaders Cork City will look to strengthen their position at the top of the table as they welcome bottom side Treaty United to Turners Cross on Friday night.
Tim Clancy’s hosts have been near-faultless at home this campaign, winning eight of their nine clashes in front of their supporters (W8-D0-L1) – firing in an impressive 21 goals in the process – and should have no issue claiming another three points against a Treaty United side that is still winless on their travels this season (W0-D4-L5), losing five of their six trips to the top-six.
Bet: Cork City to Win, Stjarnan vs Breidablik – Over 2.5 Goals & Vikingur vs KR – Over 3.5 Goals at 27/20 at Betfred
Second-placed UCD will look to record a third consecutive win in the Irish First Division on Friday night as they welcome poor-travelling Kerry to the UCD Bowl.
The Students have been strong at home this campaign, picking up 19 points from a possible 27 (W6-D1-L2) – with that record changing to W6-D1-L0 when excluding meetings with fellow top-three sides – and look well-equipped at picking up another three points at home against a Kerry side that has picked up just three points on their travels this campaign (W0-D3-L6), losing all five of their trips to the current top five.
Bet: Cork City & UCD to Win, Stjarnan vs Breidablik – Over 2.5 Goals & Vikingur vs KR – Over 3.5 Goals at 14/5 at Betfred
Entertainment looks on the cards at Carlisle Grounds on Friday night as third-placed Bray Wanderers entertain fifth-placed Longford Town.
Bray Wanderers’ opening 19 matches in the Irish second tier this season have averaged a league-high 3.16 goals per game, with Over 2.5 Goals landing in each of their last seven and 13 of their past 16, whilst four of Longford Town’s previous five encounters have seen at least three strikes.
Bet: Cork City & UCD to Win, Bray Wanderers vs Longford Town & Stjarnan vs Breidablik – Over 2.5 Goals & Vikingur vs KR – Over 3.5 Goals at 6/1 at Betfred
Two clubs separated only by two points in the Irish Premier Division table meet at Dalymount Park on Friday night as third-placed Bohemians entertain fourth-placed Dundalk in a fixture that appeals for goals.
After seeing just 14 goals scored across their opening nine league outings this season, The Bohs’ next 12 have averaged an eye-catching 3.58 goals per game, with Both Teams to Score paying out in all 12 (100%) of them, whilst 7/10 (70%) of Dundalk’s road trips have delivered goals at both ends.
Bet: Cork City & UCD to Win, Bohemians vs Dundalk – Both Teams to Score, Bray Wanderers vs Longford Town & Stjarnan vs Breidablik – Over 2.5 Goals & Vikingur vs KR – Over 3.5 Goals at 10/1 at Betfred
Goals are also a possibility at Eamonn Deacy Park on Friday night as mid-table duo Galway United and Derry City face off.
After seeing just five goals scored across their opening four league outings this season, Galway’s next 15 have averaged an eye-catching 3.40 goals per game, with Both Teams to Score paying out in 12 (80%) of them – including in 10 of their previous 11 – whilst five of Derry City’s last six road trips have delivered goals at both ends.

Reigning Copa America and World Cup champions Argentina begin the defence of their world title in the early hours of Wednesday morning as they take on Algeria in Missouri.

Two nations that made winning starts in Group D meet in Seattle on Friday evening as co-hosts, the USA, take on Australia in what has the potential to be a high-scoring clash.
Goals are a regular feature of the USA’s matches over the last 18 months or so, with Over 2.5 Goals landing in an impressive 15 (75%) of them, and that trend looks likely to continue against an Australia side that rarely fails to score.
