Mega Acca, Saturday 29 August

prediction and reasoning

Strasbourg vs Lens — Draw or Lens — Lens have been the more settled side of the two in the early weeks of the campaign and look well priced to avoid defeat at the Stade de la Meinau. Strasbourg are still finding their rhythm under a new-look setup, and the 1.25 on the double chance offers a safe way into the acca.

Auxerre vs Angers — Over 1.5 Goals — Both sides have shown they can score in the opening rounds, and Auxerre's home games have a habit of producing goals. Two or more goals at 1.33 is a solid early anchor.

Brest vs Toulouse — Draw or Toulouse — Toulouse are compact and hard to beat on their travels, while Brest are yet to fire consistently in front of goal. The double chance at 1.44 covers the draw and the away win.

Lyon vs Le Havre — Over 2.5 Goals — Lyon are one of the most attacking sides in France and should carry plenty of threat against a Le Havre defence that has shipped goals on the road. Over 2.5 at 1.72 is the value leg of the Ligue 1 block.

Elversberg vs Bayer Leverkusen — Over 2.5 Goals — Leverkusen's high-intensity style usually produces goals, and promoted Elversberg will have to commit men forward at home. At 1.44 this is a comfortable goals line for the champions.

Mainz vs Paderborn — Mainz to Win — Mainz are strong at the MEWA Arena and should have too much for a Paderborn side adjusting to top-flight football. 1.55 is a fair price for a home win.

RB Leipzig vs Borussia M'gladbach — RB Leipzig to Win — Leipzig are formidable at the Red Bull Arena and their pressing game should overwhelm Gladbach's rebuilt defence. Backing the home win at 1.55.

Union Berlin vs Eintracht Frankfurt — Both Teams to Score — Both sides carry genuine attacking threat and neither looks particularly watertight at the back. BTTS at 1.53 has landed in the majority of these sides' recent meetings.

Borussia Dortmund vs Hamburg — Borussia Dortmund to Win — Dortmund's quality in the final third should prove decisive at the Signal Iduna Park, even against a well-organised Hamburg side. 1.38 on the home win.

Fiorentina vs Frosinone — Fiorentina to Win — Fiorentina are strong at the Stadio Franchi and face a Frosinone side that will sit deep and hope for a point. The hosts' firepower should eventually break through at 1.61.

Juventus vs Parma — Juventus to Win — Juve's squad depth and defensive solidity make them a reliable anchor at home to newly-promoted Parma. 1.25 is short but safe.

Levante vs Real Betis — Draw or Real Betis — Real Betis travel to Levante with superior quality across the pitch, and the double chance at 1.30 protects against the draw while backing Pellegrini's men to come away with at least a point.
