Battle for European Trophy Continues as South Africa League Resumes : Accumulator Tip for April 30

Accumulator tip for the final day of April is here. In this one, the battle for the Champions League title continues in Spain as Barcelona take on Inter Milan. However, We will also go into the South Africa Premier League as the top three teams will be in action. Let's delve into these contests and provide the best betting possibilities.

Mamelodi Sundowns vs Richards Bay

Richards Bay needs so much to give in this game, as the Mamelodi Sundowns will be hungry for more success after making it to the Champions League final. While Richards Bay have won two of their recent matches, their battle against relegation still continues as they have only three points, just ahead of Cape Town City. However, the Mamelodi Sundowns have been the better team this season in the South Africa Premier League, despite some struggling performances at the start of the season. These are two teams that are miles ahead of each other and I surely expect so much from the Mamelodi Sundowns at home, as I believe they will use this game to celebrate their win over Al Ahly. Taking a look at the recent meetings between these two teams, Mamelodi Sundowns have won seven different times and that is convincing enough to back them here.

Mamelodi Sundowns Expected Lineup (4-3-3)

Ronwell Williams (GK), Grant Kekana, Mosa Lebusa, Aubrey Modiba, Khuliso Mudau, Jayden Adams, Marcelo Ivan Allende, Teboho Mokoena, Thapelo Morena, Tashreeq Matthews, Lucas Ribeiro

Richards Bay Expected Lineup (4-1-4-1)

Ian Otieno (GK), Simphiwe Mcineka, Tshepo Mabua, Keegan Allan, Nkosokhona Ndaba, Tlakusani Mthethwa, Lionel Zikhali, Ntonelo Bomelo, Thulani Gumede, Somalia Ntsundwana, Yanela Mbuthuma

Orlando Pirates vs Sekhukhune United

Sekhukhune United are displaying some positive performances lately and we only expect more from them even on the road. However, this team have not had much luck in this fixture and will have to be at their absolute best even though they are on the road. While they were held to a draw by TS Galaxy the previous time out, their incredible performance this season cannot be written off, as they are close in the standings with Orlando Pirates. On the other hand, the Orlando Pirates have just lost to Pyramids in the Champions League, despite being in the lead two different times. While this is another chance for them to at least make it to the next Champions League, a chance of winning the league is still very close with just nine points behind Mamelodi Sundowns. Ahead of this game, I do not see either side giving up, and a bet on a goal might be the answer here, as I do not see either team dominating easily. 

Richards Bay Expected Lineup (3-4-2-1)

Sipho Chaine, Tapelo Xoki, Nkosinathi Sibisi, Mbekezile Mbokazi, Makhehlene Makhaula, Thalente Mbatha, Deano van Rooyen, Deon Hotto, Mohau Nkota, Relebohile Mofokeng, Evidence Makgopa

Sekhukhune United Expected Lineup (3-4-3)

Renaldo Leaner, Daniel Cardoso, Tresor Yamba, Vuyo Letlapa, Thabang Monare, Siphesihle Mkhize, Shaune Mogaila, Sipho Mbule, Keletso Makgalwa, Ngoanamello Rammala, Chibuike Ohiz

Barcelona vs Inter Milan

Barcelona have been flying high and their incredible story cannot be told without talking about the impact Hansi Flick has had on this team. Prior to the start of the season, no one thought this Barcelona side could at least make it to this stage of the competition, considering the new UEFA Champions League format, their performances in recent times and their inability to sign new top players due to financial difficulties. 

On the other hand, Inter Milan have been a threat in Europe in recent years and their dominance in Serie A has been impressive. However, their recent performances have changed the narrative around this team, as the side with the best defence line has changed after now going winless in four consecutive matches where they have conceded seven times. In fact, earlier this month, Inter Milan had a chance of winning a treble, but the dream has now come to an end. This side lost to AC Milan in the Coppa Italia semi final, which ended 0-3. However, their 0-1 loss to Roma last weekend also saw them go second in the league standings. Meanwhile, Barcelona have just defeated Real Madrid for the third time this season, giving them good momentum and confidence heading into this game. While they are at home, I do not see the Blaugrana team struggling. Yet, while fatigue will be what they will have to deal with after playing a number of games in the past weeks, the individual level of players like Lamine Yamal and Pedri Gonzalez will be what Inter Milan will have to deal with. 

This should be a competitive and tough game with the two teams expected to be at their best. Yet, at home, Barcelona should be able to win despite missing players like Robert Lewandowski and Alejandro Balde.  

Barcelona Expected Lineup (4-2-3-1): 

Szczesny (GK) — Kounde, I. Martinez, Cubarsi, Gerard Martin — Pedri, De Jong — Lamine Yamal, Olmo, Raphinha — Ferran Torres

Injury: Lewandowski (hamstring), Balde (hamstring, doubt), Casado (knee), Bernal (ACL)

Inter Milan Expected Lineup (3-5-2): 

Sommer (GK) — Augusto, Acerbi, Bastoni — Dumfries, Calhanoglu, Mkhitaryan, Barella, Dimarco — Martinez, Mehdi Taremi

Injury: Pavard (ankle, doubt), Thuram (muscular, doubt
