It's Holland and Italy for Paul Robinson and followers of The Daily Acca today as Paul Robinson has picked out a 10/1 treble. Here are his selections:

- Back Heracles @ 13/10
- Back BTTS in Ajax v Excelsior @ 5/4
- Back Over 3.5 Goals in Lazio v Cittadella @ 11/10

The Acca pays approximately 10/1

Bet 1: Back Heracles @ 13/10 - KO 17:30 GMT

The hosts are 10th in the Eredivisie and come into the game on the back of two straight defeats. Their record at home this term reads well though as they have won five of their eight fixtures and lost just once.

Opponents, Sparta Rotterdam have also lost their two latest outings and they find themselves 17th of 18, having taken just 11 points from their 14 fixtures to date. They do have games in hand over their rivals, but just two wins all season is a concern.

They are yet to win on their travels as they have lost four of their seven - drawing the other three. I don't have much faith in their ability to get a result this evening - even though they won the reverse fixture last year.

Bet 2: Back BTTS in Ajax v Excelsior @ 5/4 - KO 19:45 GMT

Our second selection also comes from the Dutch top flight as Ajax and Excelsior clash in what is expected to be a one sided game. I certainly wouldn't rule out the visitors from scoring though, making BTTS attractive at odds-against.

Ajax have conceded six in seven home matches this season but with 20 goals at the other end, they have still been able to record five victories. They did win to nil last time out, but prior to that this selection landed three times in a row on this ground.

Excelsior have dropped to 11th in the standings following a run of four straight defeats. It's been their defence that has been the issue though as they scored themselves in every game. It's also interesting to note than in seven away matches this year, they have netted 13 times and conceded 11.

Bet 3: Back Over 3.5 Goals in Lazio v Cittadella @ 11/10 - KO 20:00 GMT

We finish with a last 16 Coppa Italia tie that should result in a comfortable victory for the hosts.

Lazio have stuttered of late, winning just one of their last half dozen matches in all competitions. They have still been scoring goals though and they take on lower league opposition here.

Cittadella are in good form as they are unbeaten in five - winning four times. The goals have been flowing in their games as well, with their two latest outings ending 3-1 and 2-2.

I fully expect Simone Inzaghi's side to put their opponents to the sword this evening and build some confidence ahead of a tricky trip to Atalanta on Sunday. The manager won't play his first XI, but I can easily see them scoring the four goals we need themselves - and that doesn't include the real possibility of a Cittadella goal.
