A historic Saturday ahead: Accumulator Tip for May 18

Crucial Saturday ahead for top teams in Europe and Africa. In the CAF Champions League, Esperance Tunis will play Al Ahly, while Lecce will take on Atalanta in a Serie A encounter. In what will be an honorable achievement for Xabi Alonso’s Bayer Leverkusen, they will attempt to complete an invincible season against Augsbur✨g in the Bundesliga. I will delve into the analysis of these fixtures from a betting perspective and provide an accumulation bet. 

Bayer Leverkusen vs Augsburg (Bundesliga)

After a long, successful season, Bayer Leverkusen will attempt an invincible Bundesliga record. At home, the hosts are favorites, and they will surely have the support of their fans in this one. Augsburg have played below par in recent weeks, and this team also comes in as an underdog in this encounter. No doubt, Bayer Leverkusen will look to make history, and looking at how things have shaped for them in the last matches, I expect them to dominate. Also, Leverkusen's league games have ended in many goals, and their attack has the second most goals scored in the league this season. On the other hand, Augsburg have conceded a lot in consecutive games, and with their poor defensive performance, I am backing this game to end with many goals. 

• Bet: W1 and Over 2.5 Goals

Lecce vs Atalanta (Serie A)

Lecce were woeful in last time out against Udinese, and this team will have to do better if they want a positive result here. Following a strong run of games that saw Atalanta go seven games with no defeat come to an end in the Coppa Italia final to Juventus, Atalanta will go into this game to take maximum points on the road to console themselves. In the meantime, this game should be a competition against a better team, and despite being on the road, Atalanta have what it takes to secure maximum points in this game.

• Bet: W2

Esperance Tunis vs Al Ahly (CAF Champions League)

This is going to be a tough one, and we can expect both teams to give their maximum best. Having dominated this encounter in the last four meetings, Al Ahly will confidently come into this game, drawing momentum from their prior encounters. However, Esperance Tunis have been below par lately, but in the CAF Champions League, they have had the best performances either at home or on the road. At the moment, Al Ahly have stepped up with consecutive impressive win results. While matches like this will demand both teams to be very solid on both ends of the field, Al Ahly is the better team overall, and with the qualities they have, they should be able to win this Africa trophy.
