Another Weekend for Big Bag: Accumulator Tip for April 06

It's another Saturday, and we have top league actions back in play as the leagues continue to progress toward their conclusions. This Saturday, Arsenal will be in action against Brighton in an EPL showdown as they strive to enhance their league position. In another match, Bayer Leverkusen will travel to play Union Berlin, aiming to maintain their unbeaten record this season. In the Italian Serie A, Roma will host a struggling Lazio at the Stadio Olimpico. Let's analyze each match and make predictions.

Union Berlin vs Bayer Leverkusen

Bayer Leverkusen's impressive pursuit of a hat-trick of titles continued strongly on Wednesday. The dominant Bundesliga leaders secured a spot in the DFB Pokal final with a convincing 4-0 victory against Fortuna Dusseldorf, who play in the Bundesliga II. With an unbeaten streak of 40 matches across all competitions this season, Xabi Alonso's team returns to league action with a commanding 13-point lead and only seven games left in the season.

Although they are not yet mathematically assured of their first-ever Bundesliga title, it would take a remarkable collapse to prevent Leverkusen from claiming the championship in the upcoming weeks. Away from home, Bayer has dropped just four points in 13 unbeaten Bundesliga matches this season, scoring at least two goals in 11 of those games. Meanwhile, Union Berlin has managed to distance themselves from the relegation zone after a challenging start to their season, now sitting nine points clear of the relegation playoff spot held by Mainz.

Despite being strong at home and having lost only one of their last eight matches at the Stadion An der Alten Försterei, Union faces a formidable opponent in Bayer Leverkusen. Only Dortmund has managed to leave this venue with a victory since Eintracht Frankfurt did so last November. However, it's challenging to bet against Leverkusen, and I'm confident they will continue their excellent winning streak on Saturday.

In their previous encounter earlier this season, Leverkusen secured a dominant 4-0 win. While this match may not be as one-sided, I expect Xabi Alonso's team to emerge victorious and score at least two goals.

Roma vs Lazio

Roma received a timely boost with the return of their captain Lorenzo Pellegrini from suspension. Additionally, Paulo Dybala has fully recovered and had a brief cameo appearance against Lecce, indicating his readiness for a starting role. However, Evan Ndicka is serving a one-match ban, and full-back Rasmus Kristensen is out due to a thigh injury. On the Lazio side, they will be without Mattia Zaccagni, who sustained an injury in the Coppa Italia match on Tuesday. Ivan Provedel, Manuel Lazzari, and Nicolo Rovella are still nursing injuries and are unlikely to be fit for this game.

Both teams have faced offensive challenges recently, leading to low-scoring matches in their previous encounters. However, I foresee a shift in momentum in this match. Given the determination of both teams to achieve their season objectives, I expect a more offensive and goal-oriented game.

• Bet Type: Over 2.5 Goals

Brighton vs Arsenal

There's been a lot of talk about Brighton's strong home form in avoiding defeat, but they've only won 50% of their home games this season. This statistic becomes even more significant considering that their remaining four home fixtures are against top six teams, beginning with this match against the in-form Arsenal. Arsenal has been highly effective in front of goal in every away game in 2024, except for their goalless draw with Man City. I anticipate them getting back to winning ways in this match, which could turn out to be a more comfortable evening for them than initially anticipated.
