League And Cup Action Braces Europe's Screen This Saturday: Accumulator Tip for August 03.

As league action begins across Europe, several matches are already underway in various leagues, such as the Eliteserien, the Jupiler Pro League, and the Turkish Super Cup. We've curated an accumulator tip to help you win big this Saturday. 

FK Bodø/Glimt vs. FK Haugesund

Bodø/Glimt has commenced the current Eliteserien season and their title defense on a positive note. Currently, they sit atop the standings with 37 points amassed from 17 matches and have maintained a six-point cushion over the second-placed Viking. Not only that, but their form in the Champions League qualifiers has been impressive. They defeated RFS 7-1 on aggregate in the second qualifying round to progress to the next round of the competition, where they'll get to face Jagiellonia Białystok. 

Haugesund, on the other hand, is fighting for survival this season as they find themselves languishing in the relegation play-offs. After 15 matches, they occupy 14th place with 17 points amassed, with 15th-placed Odd lurking in the relegation zone. In their most recent match against Sandefjord away from home, they found themselves on the receiving end of a 4-3 defeat, halting a two-match unbeaten run in the league (W1, D1).

Bodø/Glimt will be aiming to return to winning ways following their 1-1 league draw against KFUM last time out. However, the defending champions have managed to maintain a consistent form, avoiding defeat in their last four matches across all competitions, and will use this form as a springboard to secure a favorable outcome in front of their fans. Despite being underdogs in this encounter, we expect Haugesund to find the back of the net given that the home side has failed to preserve a clean sheet in their last five matches in the league. Therefore, support both sides to get on the scoreboard.

Oud-Heverlee Leuven vs. KRC Genk

Compared to their 2022–23 season, where they finished in 10th place with 48 points, Leuven had an underwhelming campaign in the previous 2023–24 Jupiler Pro League season, settling for a 12th place finish and avoiding the relegation round by the skin of their teeth due to a superior goal differential. In the current season, they have started off on a positive note, settling for a goalless draw against Beerschot in their opening match away from home.

Genk had a productive campaign in the previous 2023–24 Jupiler Pro League season, finishing in 6th place with 47 points amassed. Despite earning their spot in the Championship round, they failed to make the cut, finishing outside the top four, with 37 points missing out on a Europa League qualifier spot. In the current season, they occupy 9th place with 1 point accumulated from a goalless draw against Standard Liège in their opening match.

Leuven were unfortunate not to have scored in their match against Beerschot, given their threat in the final third and dictating possession. Their performance is enough confirmation that they'll be a thorn for Genk, who'll be aiming for maximum points in this fixture. Considering that 'both teams to score - yes' has been a winning wager in four of their last five encounters, we expect the same trend to continue here.

Galatasaray vs. Besiktas

Galatasaray was a force to be reckoned with in the previous 2023–24 Turkish Super Lig season, amassing 102 points to finish atop the league standings, lifting their second consecutive league title and their 24th overall. In preparation for the season, the Turkish giants failed to impress in the preseason fixtures, winning just two of their last six matches while losing four.

Besiktas, on the other hand, had an underwhelming campaign that saw them finish outside the top three, settling for a sixth-place finish. However, the Black Eagles did manage to compensate for their shortcomings by defeating Trabzonspor 3-2 in the Turkish Cup to lift the trophy for the 11th time. In preparation for the season,the Black Eagles participated in six preseason fixtures in which they won three times, drew twice, and lost once.

It goes without saying that Gala did not have a decent run in the preseason fixtures; however, they enter this match as favorites to lift the silverware for the 17th time in just 26 appearances. In the previous season, Besiktas lost their two league matches against Galatasaray, and we anticipate the same outcome to happen in this one by supporting the home side on the full-time market.
