Winners and Losers in Cup encounters: Accumulator Tip For September 03

The accumulator tip for the third day of September will feature league cup encounters. In Qatar Stars Cup, Al Rayyan, Shamal and Qatar SC will be in action while Copa Colombia have matched Envigado against Millonarios in the first leg of their action at Estadio Polideportivo Sur. Which sides get to book a place in the next round? Below, I will consider the team’s analysis from betting perspectives and offer high value options to consider. 

Al Rayyan vs Qatar SC

Qatar SC have stepped up so much this season and I feel confident they will be a problem for Al Rayyan in this encounter. While the hosts visiting team has been tagged underdogs in this fixture, it is still impossible to see this game as a walkover for Al Rayyan despite the bookies favouring them. Looking at how the visiting Qatar SC started their season, winning their last two games without conceding is impressive which also extended their unbeaten run to four. Meanwhile, Al Rayyan have also shown competitiveness with two wins already in their first three games of the Qatar Stars League. In the meantime, the home team has been the better team in this fixture and they have displayed top level play heading into this game. Yet, the visiting Qatar 

SC have improved so much and a bet on both teams scoring is a good option. 

Trends

Al Rayyan have won three of the last four games of this fixture and come into this game as favourites. With their impressive run of four wins in their last five home matches, they have a chance to repeat with Bet365 offering a 1.72 odds. 

Despite their poor performances in this fixture, Qatar SC are enjoying a different level of football and have a shot at this. 1Xbet offers a 4.04 odds for their win, with win or draw at full time at 1.95. 

Four of the last five meetings between Al Rayyan and Qatar SC have ended with both teams scoring and over 2.5 goals. Betway is offering this option for a value of 1.95. 

• Bet: Both Teams to Score

Shamal vs Umm-Salal

These are two teams who have shown a high number of inconsistent play and close to poor competitiveness. In the meantime, encounters between these sides have always been full of unpredictable outcomes and tough gameplay. In the meantime, we have seen a different approach from these two teams this new season, with Shamal looking like a reborn side with a lot of top plays. Ahead of this game, the home team has a clean slate of three direct wins, while Umm-Salal have lost twice in their first three games of the current season. However, league performances might not have much impact on what to expect from these two teams but it is clear that Shamal have improved compared to previous years. Therefore, with the visiting team expected to struggle many times in the game, I believe Shamal will do well to take their chances and win at full time. 

Trends

Both teams to score is a common trend in this fixture. In the last nine meetings between these two teams, we have witnessed this outcome seven times. This option is available on Betway with odds at 1.57. 

Over 2.5 goals have been won in four of the last four meetings between Shamal and Umm-Salal. On 1Xbet, we have this option available at 1.47 odds. 

Shamal head into this game with three wins in the last five games of this fixture. Also, the home team has not lost the last three games of this matchup. With three straight wins heading into this cup contest, the hosts have a 1.55 odds of winning. 

• Bet: Shamal to Win

Envigado vs Millonarios

This will be a very tough game with both teams expected to show character. While the home team is coming off a winless run, they will view this game as the one needed to build momentum. In the meantime, Millonarios have not been a special side this season either but their last few games have shown improvements. In the meantime, considering how past games of this fixture have ended, it is clear there are higher chances this game will end in a draw than possibility of witnessing a winner especially considering there is another for this fixture. Yet, I believe it is much better to lean towards Millonarios in this game given their records and team vs team recent performances. Hence, a win or draw option for the road team. 

Trends

Millonarios have not lost their last five games of this fixture. With the last two ending in a win, the bookies are offering 2.20 for this same option. 

Envigado's last four games at this venue have ended in draws with the last three ending with a 1-1 correct score. A full time draw option is available on Bet365 with odds at 3.10 and 1-1 correct score at 6.00. 

In the last five games of this fixture, we have witnessed both teams to score being won three times. Meanwhile, this option has also ended the last three games at this venue with a value of 2.20 on Betway.
