Accumulator tips and predictions for Friday

Racing Post football expert Dan Childs has picked:

Rayo Vallecano to beat Racing Ferrol @17-20 with Ladbrokes

Falkirk to beat Airdrieonians @2-9 with Ladbrokes

Nice to beat Rennes @2-5 with Ladbrokes

Real Madrid to beat Valencia @23-20 with Ladbrokes

Total odds: @11-2 with Ladbrokes

Odds correct at time of publication

Racing Ferrol v Rayo Vallecano

Rayo Vallecano are a solid La Liga outfit and should breeze through to the third round of the Copa del Rey at the expense of Segunda Division hosts Racing Ferrol, who are third-bottom in the second tier.

Aidrieonians v Falkirk

Falkirk hold a six-point lead at the top of the Scottish Championship and look set for a fairly comfortable away win over basement boys Aidrieonians, who have won one of 19 league fixtures.

Nice v Rennes

Nice are one of two Ligue 1 teams with an unbeaten home record and should be too strong for 12th-placed Rennes, who have taken only one point on their travels.

Valencia v Real Madrid

Real Madrid capped off a glorious 2024 with their success at the Club World Cup and they can start 2025 in the right manner by defeating second-bottom Valencia at the Mestalla.

Football acca FAQs

What is a football accumulator (acca)?
A football accumulator, commonly referred to as an 'acca', is a single bet that combines multiple individual bets into one. Each selection within the accumulator must win for the bet to pay out, offering higher potential returns but at increased risk compared to single bets.

Can I place an acca on different markets?
Yes, you can combine various markets in an acca, including match winners, total goals, both teams to score, and more. However, most betting platforms require that selections within an accumulator are not related to ensure the bet is valid.

What is the advantage of placing an accumulator bet?
The main advantage of an accumulator bet is the potential for higher returns from a smaller stake since the odds of each selection are multiplied together. It adds excitement to watching multiple matches, as each leg of your acca needs to be successful for a return.
