Champions League Acca
I absolutely love the Champions League qualifying stage. Nothing to do with the actual football, I just love the betting opportunities that this stage presents.
Personally, I like big accas at reasonable odds. In this case, I used one of the best online bookies Betfred to compile a six-fold 3/1 bet. Check out the details below.

No Expiry Date
Bet 1: Bodo/Glimt Over 0.5 Goals vs Union SG
Scandinavian sides always have a head start in these qualifiers—they're bang in the middle of their season while everyone else is still blowing the cobwebs off.
Bodo/Glimt are absolutely flying too. Five wins on the bounce, 13 scored, none conceded. They're in ruthless form.
Union SG have home advantage and a Super Cup win under their belt, but keeping this Bodo attack quiet is a different beast. Back the Norwegians to find the net.
Bet 2: NEC Over 0.5 Goals vs Olympiacos
NEC enjoyed a dream season last year, finishing third in the Eredivisie and reaching the Dutch Cup final. More importantly for this bet, they know exactly where the goal is.
They've scored in each of their last 14 competitive away games, with their last away blank coming way back in November.
Olympiacos are favourites, but they've looked anything but watertight in pre-season, shipping six goals across their last two friendlies. I fancy NEC to nick a goal!
Bet 3: Dinamo Zagreb to Score First vs Kauno Zalgiris
Dinamo Zagreb are European veterans, having reached the main draw of European competitions for the last eight years.
Kauno Zalgiris are the exact opposite enter George Costanza meme of their rivals. In fact, their ability to even make this stage is a shock.
The bookmakers have not offered anything tasty, but I’m willing to add the hosts to score first in our acca.
Bet 4: Sparta Prague vs Lyon – Over 1.5 Goals
This is a proper heavyweight clash!
The Czech side will be looking to once again unleash new star forward Jonatan Braut Brunes, who already netted on his league debut.
Lyon have also made plenty of signings, including the addition of Lois Openda, who has seven UCL career goals to his name. Anyway, over 1.5 goals is the way to go for me.
Bet 5: Levski Sofia Over 0.5 Goals vs Kairat Almaty
Kairat made the Champions League last season, but one point from the league phase tells its own story.
They've hardly pulled up any trees in these qualifiers either, which should give Levski Sofia plenty of encouragement.
The Bulgarians have hit 15 goals in seven competitive games already this season and come into this one fresh from sticking three past their league opponents. Back them to get on the scoresheet.
Bet 6: Crvena Zvezda Over 0.5 Goals vs Hapoel Be’er Sheva
Let’s finish strong. I’m backing the visitors to score and the reasoning is simple.
Firstly, there’s no home advantage for Hapoel who will host this game in Hungary.
Secondly, the Serbian opponents have won all four of their competitive games this season, scoring 17 goals along the way. Yes, 17!
