Exclusive Six Points For Kings: Accumulator Tips for April 24

With leagues nearing completion, teams continue to lock in fierce battle for European spots while some seek to survive relegation. Real Betis will strive to appear in the UEFA Champions League, and every game matters at the moment. They’ll host a struggling Real Valladolid team on their ground, and they can’t afford to lose back-to-back against the guests. Conversely, Bologna FC 1909 can’t afford to lose guard with a three-goal advantage over Empoli at home. Lastly, Club Brugge will fight to extend their dominance at the top of the standings when they face off against USB on their ground. 

Real Betis vs Real Valladolid

Manuel Pellegrini’s men have been in decent form lately, marching here with just a defeat in their previous nine league matches. Real Betis, who had some rough patches at the beginning of the campaign, are almost certain of playing in Europe next season. More recently, Real Betis bounced back from their shocking home loss against Villarreal, scoring three times to secure the maximum points in their contest against Girona. With Isco finding the back of the net and providing an assist, Johnny and Anthony were both on the scoresheet. On the other hand, Real Valladolid's poor run of games continued as they were overwhelmed by the visiting Osasuna side. Alvaro Rubio’s comrades would have to win at least five of their remaining six matches to stand a chance of playing in La Liga next season. They have lost six consecutive matches in the Spanish league, and a defeat here could see them return to division two. 

Fortunately, Real Valladolid's only win in 2025 came against Real Betis on their ground; a terrible game to forget by the traveling Betis fans. The hosts are better compared to the side that lost on the road against their opponent.

Real Betis have won four, while Real Valladolid have recorded four victories and two games ending in a tie over their previous ten meetings. Every single Real Betis La Liga remaining game this season is highly important, and they can’t afford to slip up in their attempt to play in the UEFA Champions League next season.

Real Betis presently sit in sixth place on the log and are a point behind Villarreal in fifth place. They’ll start strong against a winless Real Valladolid side and probably exert dominance over them. Betis hardly keep a clean sheet in the league, and provided the guests have nothing to lose, we expect an open game, with goals at both ends. The in-form Anthony will ask the guests lots of questions, while Isco will face a late test to determine if he’s going to feature in this game. 

Real Betis Potential Starting Eleven (4-2-3-1)

Adrián—Youssouf Sabaly, Marc Bartra, Natan, Romain Perraud—Johnny Cardoso, Pablo Fornals—Antony, Isco, Abdessmad Ezzalzouli—Cucho Hernandez

Out: Diego Llorente, Marc Roca, Chimy Ávila.

Real Valladolid Potential Starting Eleven (4-1-4-1)

André Ferreira—Henrique, Javi Sánchez, Joseph Aidoo, Antonio Candela—Stanbko Kuric—Darwin Machis, Florin Grillitsch, Chuky, Anuar—Mamadou Sylla

Out: Karl Hein (Shoulder Injury)

Bologna vs Empoli

Vincenzo Italiano’s team are one of the surprises of the season as they are on the verge of securing the UEFA Champions League spot. Two-time Coppa Italia Cup winners, Bologna FC 1909, have a three-goal advantage following their decisive away victory over Empoli. Bologna FC attacked their opponent from the start to the end of the game, as Thijs Dallinga scored a brace while Ricardo Orsolini found the back of the net to amass all the points. Since the (0-3) win, the Petronians have drawn once, lost a game, and won against Inter Milan across their last three league games. On the opposing end, Empoli, who conceded three times in the first leg, failed to win any of their last three league matches. Empoli are presently struggling in the league and have managed just a win this year. 

Bologna, who are buzzing following their (1-0) over the potential title winners, Inter Milan, will approach this game in high spirits. They are more than capable of securing the maximum points, even though they have a three-goal advantage over Empoli. The hosts are unbeaten against Empoli in their last five meetings, and the guests have failed to keep a clean sheet in six consecutive matchups. Bologna are already dreaming of playing either of the Milan sides, and I expect them to record a comfortable victory over their guests.

Bologna FC 1909 Potential Starting Eleven (4-2-3-1)

Federico Ravaglia—Emil Holm, Sam Beukema, Jhon Lucumi, Juan Miranda—Freuler, Micheal Aebischer—Ricardo Orsolini, Giovanni Fabbian, Emiliano Cambiaghi—Thijs Dallinga

Out: Lukasz Skorupski, Lewis Ferguson, Davide Calabria, Nicolò Casale

Empoli FC Potential Starting Eleven (3-4-2-1)

Devis Stiven Vasquez Llach–Mattia De Sciglio, Luca Marianucci, Mattia–Emmanuel Gyasi, Liam Henderson, Viktor Kovalenko, Giuseppe Pezzella–Ola Solbakken, Jacopo Fazzini–Lorenzo Colombo

Bet Type: W1

Club Brugge vs Royale Union Saint-Gilloise

Nicky Hayen’s men have been firing on all cylinders this campaign, hoping to win back-to-back Belgium Pro League titles. Club Brugge, who have won six consecutive league games, will be keen to extend their lead at the top of the log. Recently, they put five goals past Gent on the road, making it twenty-one wins so far this season. On the opposing side, Royale Union Saint-Gilloise have been consistent in recent years but are yet to record a success since promotion. For the second season running, Royale Union Saint-Gilloise have been a point behind in the title race. 

This is an important game for the guests, who can either continue to live in the shadows of the hosts or take the bull by the horns and break the jinx of back-to-back campaigns without securing the title. 

This fixture could be a title decider as two points separate both sides. Both teams have won three games apiece and four games ending in a tie across their last ten meetings. Club Brugge are without a clean sheet in thirteen meetings against Royale Union Saint-Gilloise, and it’s almost sure they’ll concede here. 

The guests have some pretty decent attacking players in their carts, and with Promise David and Franjo Ivanovic up front, we could probably see more than two goals. Based on both teams' recent trends, the most viable option here is for a BTTS. 

Club Brugge Potential Starting Eleven (4-2-3-1)

Simon Mignolet–Kyriani Sabbe, Joel Ordonez, Brandon Mechele, Jorne Spileers, Maxim De Cuyper–Raphael Onyedika, Casper Nielsen–Antonio Nusa, Hans Vanaken, Christos Tzolis–Romeo Vermant 

Central striker Gustaf Nilsson could be left on the bench again after fourteen games without finding the back of the net. 

USB Potential Starting Eleven (3-5-2)

Anthony Moris–Christian Burgess, Koki Machida, Mac Allister–Ousseynou Niang, Charles Vanhoutte, Anan Khalaili, Kemiel Van De Perre, Naoh Sadiki–Promise David, Franjo Ivanovic
