The Daily Acca: You don't win anything with kids

Brakes to be on in Dortmund

Bet 1: Back Under 3.5 Goals in Dortmund v Leipzig @ 4/5 - KO 19:30 GMT

The Germans know how to serve up goal-fests in the Bundesliga, but this is a clash between two top teams at a crucial stage of the season, and I am banking on it being a bit tighter than usual.

When these two teams last met in January 2019, it was Dortmund who edged a 1-0 win, and four of the six meetings between the pair have had two goals or fewer.

There aren't really any other stats that support this bet, but I genuinely think that this will be a tense clash between the third and first in the league.

FA Cup replay to have goals

Bet 2: Back BTTS in Plymouth v Bristol Rovers @ 13/20 - KO 19:30 GMT

This is the final FA Cup second round replay and while I am not sure who will progress, I am confident of the fact that there will be goals at both ends.

These two sides are in good form in their respective divisions, with the visitors fourth in League One and the hosts eighth in League Two.

Plymouth have a strong home record and they rarely fail to score in front of their own fans, while Rovers have won four on the bounce on the road - racking up nine goals in the process.

Young reds to come up short

Bet 3: Back Aston Villa & BTTS @ 6/5 - KO 19:45 GMT

Liverpool's trip to Villa Park in the Carabao Cup has been a much debated tie in the lead-up to the game as the Reds are having to field their youth team due to World Club Cup commitments.

Dean Smith has been fielding a weakened XI in the competition, but even if he does here, they will surely beat a Liverpool side that doesn't even have Jurgen Klopp at the ground.

I can't see Villa keeping a clean sheet though, as their opponents will be full of youthful enthusiasm, and they do have some exciting attacking players.
