Battle for European Champions League Spot Continues : Accumulator Tips for August 06

The accumulator tip for this first Tuesday of August will be from European Champions League qualifying games. In this one, we will go for night matches involving top sides like Fenerbahce, Red Bull Salzburg, and Sparta Prague. Below, I will look into each encounter and make predictions.

Sparta Prague vs FCSB

Sparta Prague at home is a tough side to beat, and coming into this game as favorites, we can expect more from them. On the other hand, FCSB got the best of Maccabi Tel Aviv on the road in their qualifying game after being held to a 1-1 draw at home, and that will give them confidence that they can also get a positive road result here. Ahead of this game, Sparta Prague had a run of five matches, which ended in victories, with just one defeat recorded in their last 15 matches. While FCSB have also had a decent run of performances into this game, it is still very clear that Sparta Prague have a better squad, and with home turf advantage, a win for them is lucrative.

Lille vs Fenerbahce

Fenerbahce had it tough in their first game of this qualifying round, and in this encounter, they know they have to do better, especially in defense. As a side, Lille has a very good quality in both attack and defense; in this game, I expect a lot of top plays from them. However, on a big stage like this, Jose Mourinho's side is always tough to write off despite his weaker side. On the road, despite expected to be a tough one, with their offensive confidence in Dzeko, who netted four times in two legs against Lugano, with a more improved defensive performance, I am backing Mourinho's team to pick a draw in this game.

Red Bull Salzburg vs Twente

This is a tough one to predict, but I have confidence in the home team. Heading into this game, the two teams have an unbeaten run of games, which will boost their confidence in this encounter. However, as a two-legged match, each side will focus on getting the result at home. Also, Red Bull Salzburg have the experience to play at this level, and while Twente could be a threat offensively, I still believe a win for the host is the best possible outcome.
