New Season! New Challenge!: Accumulator Tips for August 02, 2025.

It is another football weekend and this week is meant for winning big. In this Saturday’s fixture, matches will be picked from European Leagues running from Scotland, Australia to Switzerland. Let’s get into the analysis of these games involving Basel, Rangers and Red Bull Salzburg from betting perspectives and offer best betting options. 

Motherwell vs Rangers

Motherwell and Rangers past meetings have always been competitive, close and full of shocking moments and results. In fact, there is no better narrative than the two wins each for both sides and a draw in their last five meetings. While looking at how past meetings have ended and their recent respective contests, I believe this game will involve a lot of goals, with neither team struggling in attack heading into this game. While a winner is a possibility, picking a side looks tough compared to a high offensive approach and hunger to start the season with a win which will be the drive in this encounter. 

Betting Trends

Motherwell have an unbeaten run heading into this encounter. The home team has won the last meeting of this fixture and have a 6.31 odds on 1Xbet. 

Rangers come into this game as favourites as they have won the most wins in this fixture, 50, since 2003. A win for the road team is available on Betway with odds at 1.42. 

The last five meetings between Motherwell and Rangers have ended with both teams to score and over 2.5 runs with odds available on 1Xbet at 1.85. 

SV Ried vs Red Bull Salzburg

This is a new season opener and with the two teams expected to be at their best, we can look forward to a very tough contest. At the moment, SV Ried might have the most work to do as taking on a Red Bull Salzburg side with a lot of top quality with topflight experience might be the difference. Yet, finishing top of the Liga 2 is a confirmation of how special this SV Ried young squad is and what they can offer at the big stage while also already having a good preseason. Meanwhile, Red Bull Salzburg are just on another level and their performances and approach to games are purely at top level. I expect the visiting team to have some challenges in this game as they play on the road, but their record in this fixture has been full of success which I believe they will replicate with goals. 

Betting Trends

SV Ried have now failed to pick a win in more than ten consecutive matches against Red Bull Salzburg with their best result being a draw. However, there is no better time for this team to end that streak as they are on a hot form from the league two while they also play at home. A win for the host is available on Bet365 with odds at 7.50. 

Red Bull Salzburg have had the most wins in this fixture and dominated it in the past. With SV Ried just returning to the league, Red Bull Salzburg are well favoured with a 1.42 odds of winning on 1Xbet bookmaker. 

SV Ried have failed to score in their last four meetings against Red Bull Salzburg. Both teams to score (no) is available on Betway with odds at 2.00. 

Ahead of this game, Red Bull Salzburg have scored at least two goals in ten of their last eleven meetings against SV Ried. Over 1.5 goals for the visiting team is available on Betway with odds at 1.42. 

Basel vs Grasshoppers

After a disappointing start for the two teams, they will come all out hoping to turn the tables. Last weekend, Basel could not handle the pressure from St. Gallen’s offense as they conceded twice from eight shots attempted. However, it is just clear Basel were very poor when it comes to converting their chances as their lone goal come from an own goal. Meanwhile, Grasshoppers have a lot to respond too regarding their poor defense line as they will need to be compact as Basel are expected to regain their previous season’s offensive performance. This is going to be a close game however, considering how past meetings of this game have ended. Yet, I feel Basel at home should be able to get the job done as they look to activate their title defense. 

Betting Trends

Basel have won three of the last four matches of this fixture. The home team comes into this game as favorites with odds at 1.32 on 1Xbet bookmaker. 

Only one of the last four meetings between Basel and Grasshoppers have ended with both teams to score option being won. Both teams to score (no) option is available on Bet365 with odds at 1.90.
