Special Picks for Wednesday: Accumulator Tip for March 20

On Wednesday, some of the best women's teams in Europe will be in action as Hacken welcome PSG and Barcelona travel to face Brann. Additionally, Somalia will battle Eswatini for a spot in the qualifying rounds of the AFCON. Below, these matches are analyzed for your betting pleasure.

In just over a month since the previous edition, qualification for the 2025 Africa Cup of Nations commences this week, featuring Somalia against Eswatini in the first leg of the preliminary round. This round comprises four ties involving the region's lowest-ranked teams, with matches played home and away. The winners will advance to the group stage qualifiers slated for September.

Somalia's national team has never qualified for major tournaments, consistently faltering in the preliminary rounds. Similarly, Eswatini has yet to participate in any major tournaments, but they typically surpass the preliminary rounds. In the previous Africa Cup of Nations Qualifiers, Eswatini dominated Somalia with a 5-1 aggregate victory.

Both teams have displayed poor performances in recent matches, particularly in goal-scoring. Considering their track records and recent form, it's anticipated that the match will yield fewer than three goals.

• Under 2.5

Hacken's home record in the Champions League hasn't been particularly strong, which may raise doubts about their ability to perform well against PSG. Meanwhile, PSG displayed strength during the group stages, boasting significant attacking quality that could pose a threat to Hacken's defense. Hacken have experienced setbacks in their recent home matches, losing 5 out of their last 8 Champions League fixtures at home.

However, both teams have shown their scoring prowess in recent matches. Hacken scored ten goals in their last two matches, indicating they are in good form. Similarly, PSG netted an impressive 21 goals in their previous five games. Considering the attacking potential of both teams and their recent goal-scoring records, betting on Over 2.5 goals seems like a safer option for this tie, providing a balance between potential outcomes and minimizing risks.

• Over 2.5

Barcelona have established themselves as one of the top European women's clubs in recent years, with impressive performances in the UEFA Champions League. Over the last three editions of the tournament, they reached the finals each time and emerged victorious twice. In the previous season, they clinched a thrilling victory in the final, defeating Wolfsburg 3-2.

Domestically, Barcelona continues to dominate. In the Spanish Primera División Femenina, they currently hold the top position with a convincing record of 19 victories in 20 matches. The reigning Champions League champions have demonstrated their superiority by remaining unbeaten in the league, with only one draw.

Remarkably, Barcelona have maintained an unbeaten streak across all competitions since May 25, 2023. Given their strong performances and goal-scoring prowess, opting for the over 3.5 betting option could provide favorable odds in their upcoming matches.
