Maximum profits mid-week: Accumulator Tip for February 5th

Prepare for sensational football action on Wednesday as big European teams clash in their fight for the domestic cup. Newcastle will take on the Gunners who are fresh from a scintillating victory over Pep Guardiola’s City, Real Madrid will take on Leganes in the Copa Del Rey and two Italian giants will clash at the San Siro in the Copa Italia. Let us analyze both teams’ forms, key stats, and my expert opinion on the upcoming game. 

Newcastle vs Arsenal

Newcastle hopes to finish what they started at the Emirates as they take on Arsenal at St James Park on the return leg of their EFL Cup semi-final clash. Newcastle boasts a 2-goal advantage as they won by 2 goals to nil in the first leg with Isak and Gordon finding the net in the first and second half respectively. The Gunners are in superb form, especially after they thrashed Manchester City in the league last week by a 5-1 scoreline. Anything can happen and the Gunners can come back from the deficit. However, one thing is sure and it’s goals here. 

• Bet: X2 & TO 1.5 goals

Leganes vs Real Madrid

Real Madrid is still in shock from their 1-0 defeat to Espanyol last week and they cannot afford to suffer two consecutive defeats in a row. Espanyol held their forte all through the first half and struck at a deadly moment in the second half to secure the all-important win against the Galactico. Real Madrid has always had it quite easy against Leganes and I believe it's an imminent victory for Madrid. 

• Bet: 2TO 1.5 goals

Milan vs Roma

Milan and Roma will clash at the San Siro for their Coppa Italia quarter-final clash. Both teams were involved in high-profile games last week with Milan facing Inter in the Milan Derby which ended in a 1-1 draw and Roma holding the league leaders Napoli to a 1-1 draw as well. Roma, I’m unbeaten in their last 7 Serie A games but a victory at the San Siro against a strong Milan side might be too much to ask of Claudio Ranieri but we expect a very tough game with few goals scored.

• Bet: Milan to qualify
