Odds correct at time of publication

Sheffield United vs Cardiff

Championship strugglers Cardiff performed well in last Saturday's 1-1 draw at Middlesbrough and can spring an FA Cup third round surprise away to second-tier highflyers Sheffield United, who are missing several injured players.

Everton vs Peterborough

Everton have lost back-to-back Premier League games but can stop the rot with an FA Cup success over League One Peterborough, who have the second-worst defensive record (46 goals conceded) across the top four divisions.

Fulham vs Watford

Fulham are unbeaten in eight Premier League games and should have a bit too much quality for Watford, who are missing injured first-choice goalkeeper Daniel Bachmann.

Dundee vs Rangers

Rangers were held to a 3-3 draw at Hibernian on Sunday but they can bounce back with a victory away to Scottish Premiership strugglers Dundee, who have lost their last two home fixtures.

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.
