Don't Miss Out On This 5 Points: Accumulator Tips for August 10, 2025.

After weeks without league action, the Bundesliga 2 and League One will kick off their season tomorrow, with Luton Town commencing their campaign in the new league against a solid AFC Wimbledon at home. Meanwhile, FC Schalke will face off against rival Hertha Berlin on their ground. On the other hand, Crystal Palace will lock horns against Augsburg in a friendly game. 

Luton Town vs AFC Wimbledon

Matt Bloomfield’s men, who were relegated last season, will be keen to get off to a flying start when they host their guests at Kenilworth Road Stadium tomorrow. Luton Town accumulated forty-nine points in the entire season, failing to make the cut on the final day of the season. On the other hand, AFC Wimbledon gained two promotions into League One after four years. Jackson’s men wrapped up their campaign in fifth spot, setting them up with playoffs against Walsall and Notts County. 

H2H & Trend

Luton have been winning at halftime in four of their previous five matches.

AFC Wimbledon have been on the losing end in the first half in five of their last seven matches. 

AFC Wimbledon have failed to keep a cleansheet in seven consecutive games. 

Luton are unbeaten in their last three meetings against AFC Wimbledon.

Luton have scored first in four of their previous four meetings.

Betting Tip

Considering Luton played in the Championship last season and their decent performance in preseason games, they’re the favourite to amass all the points against AFC Wimbledon. Not to take anything away from the guests, they also have some serious talents who could provoke any defence in the division. I’m sure both teams will attack in this encounter, but I expect the home side to win and score more than a goal. 

Bet Type: W1 & Over 1.5 goals

Augsburg vs Crystal Palace

The German-based side have managed to retain most of their key players even after finishing bottom half of the log. Augsburg wrapped up the previous campaign in 12th place, picking up forty-three points from thirty-four matches. They have won four of their last five preseason games, scoring nineteen and conceding four times. Meanwhile, Crystal Palace, who had one of their best seasons, have started the campaign on a decent run. They have won twice Crawley (3-0), Millwall (1-0), drawn (1-1) against Mainz and lost (3-2) against the same opponent. None of their key players have been sold, and they have basically stuck with the same coach. 

H2H & Trend

More than two goals have surfaced in seven of the last eight matches.

Crystal Palace have scored first in eight of their last ten matches.

Fewer than four cards have surfaced in six consecutive Crystal Palace matches. 

Their only meetings have produced less than a goal.

Betting Tip

Augsburg have been phenomenal in their previous preseason games, winning four of the last five games. They have also been scoring for fun and have conceded fewer goals. Crystal Palace on the other hand march here following their loss against Mainz. If everything goes as planned, this game will produce goals, and of course, Augsburg are the favourite to amass all the points.

FC Schalke 04 vs Hertha BSC

Muslic’s comrades will kick off their campaign in Bundesliga 2 after surviving relegation last campaign. The former German champions have fallen off badly since relegation from the apex league in 2023. FC Schalke ended their season in 14th spot, three points above the relegation playoff spot. On the other hand, Hertha Berlin finished their campaign in the bottom half of the standings. They picked up forty-four points from thirty-four games, scoring forty-nine and conceding fifty-one. H2H & Trend

Fewer than four cards have surfaced in FC Schalke 04's last ten matches.

Heartha BSC have played four games without a cleansheet. 

FC Schalke have failed to keep a cleansheet against Hertha BSC in nine meetings.

More than two goals have surfaced in nine consecutive meetings against each other.

Betting Tip

FC Schalke have pretty much done well in all their season, and they’ll now test themselves in a competitive game against a solid opponent. The host's best player from last campaign will play against his former team, and we expect a hostile environment for the new Hertha player. Their meetings have always ended with goals, especially on FC Schalke's home ground. The season is fresh, and you can hardly tell what versions of the teams will surface; however, this game won’t deny us goals.
