European top picks matches for Saturday: Accumulator Tips for August 26

This Saturday's accumulation bet features elite European sides, so we have another chance to win big. After just edging Crystal Palace 1-0 on the road last Monday, I think Arsenal will fare better at home. Also, AC Milan will welcome Torino following a fantastic performance in their league debut. But in the Bundesliga, struggling Bochum will face off against Dortmund. Below is a more in-depth look at the matchup, including some betting recommendations.

Bochum vs Dortmund

Bochum will be desperate to avoid another mauling this weekend after allowing five goals in a poor performance in their previous match, so Letsch should position his squad to defend in order to give them the best chance of success. However, Dortmund has more than enough offensive firepower to penetrate Bochum's backline, and as a result, we anticipate the visitors to secure an easy victory at Vonovia Ruhrstadion while scoring at least two goals.

Arsenal vs Fulham

In the first two gameweeks of the season, Arteta has been experimenting with a new system for Arsenal, which has led to some inevitable teething pains. However, the Gunners should have little trouble exerting their control over a Fulham squad that is fragmented. The return of Palhinha will at least bring some steel to the Cottagers' midfield, and Arsenal's defensive record at the Emirates offers some optimism as well, but a third consecutive win to kick off the season definitely awaits the men in red since they are the favorites.

AC Milan vs Torino

Torino, who are generally difficult to beat, may think that they have a chance of leaving San Siro with at least a point, but a lack of firepower is going to come back to bother them again. In the event that the away team is unable to score their first goal of the Serie A season, Milan's revamped offense will be able to punish them. This is especially true given that Stefano Pioli can now call upon some dynamic options from the bench.
