Football accumulator tips for Wednesday, April 8: Back our acca at 62-1 with bet365

Racing Post football analyst Henry Hardwicke has pieced together a 62-1 treble for Wednesday’s bumper card, headlined by two Champions League quarter-final first legs and a Europa League encounter.

The wager, available with bet365, comprises: - Atletico Madrid to beat Barcelona - Liverpool to beat Paris Saint-Germain - Real Betis to beat Braga

Hardwicke believes the market has underestimated Diego Simeone’s side, arguing that while Hansi Flick’s Barcelona can dazzle going forward—evidenced by their demolition of Newcastle in the previous round—they remain vulnerable at the back, leaving room for an Atletico upset at the Estadi Olímpic Lluís Companys.

Across the Channel, Liverpool travel to the French capital with doubters circling after a limp domestic title defence. Yet Hardwicke notes that Arne Slot’s team have already accounted for Atletico, Real Madrid, Inter, Marseille and Galatasaray in this season’s Champions League, whereas PSG have rarely convinced en route to the last eight.

Completing the acca, Real Betis are backed to overcome Braga in Seville. Manuel Pellegrini’s outfit thrashed Panathinaikos 4-0 in the previous Europa League knockout round and, on home soil, their attacking depth should prove decisive against Portuguese opposition.

A successful £1 stake on the three-leg acca would return £63, highlighting the appeal of combining selections for an enhanced payout. Remember, every leg must win for the bet to cash.

What is a football accumulator? An accumulator, or acca, rolls multiple individual bets into one wager. All selections must prevail for the bet to succeed, multiplying the odds and boosting potential returns.

Can I mix markets in an acca? Yes—match result, goals, both teams to score and other markets can be combined, provided the selections are not directly related.

Why place an accumulator? The format offers bigger payouts from modest stakes and adds drama across several fixtures, with each leg heightening the tension.
