July 17: Sunday Football Accumulator – 7/1

With teams like Brazil's Serie A and MLS taking center stage this weekend, we have a stacked schedule throughout Sunday. So for those of you looking to stay away for the weekend, we've found a handful of helpful tips worth following.

Starting with Sunday's guests, last seen putting on another hugely impressive display earlier in the week, there's no doubt the mood in Austin's camp will be at an all-time high. . Eventually edging their way to a landslide 3-1 victory at home to Houston, the Texas-based team are in the midst of a stellar purple smudge. Making a series of improvements since opening the 2022 campaign, head coach Josh Wolff has been showered with praise for his team's charge in the Western Conference. Now holding a one-point buffer on the chasing pack, the Oaks have now won each of their last four national outings. Likewise, on what has been a standout run, it's worth pointing out that Austin has also taken 16 points in its last six MLS meetings. Quickly gaining a reputation for free displays after netting three goals in their last three MLS wins, Sunday's hosts should feel the chance to set up another marker against their local rivals. On the other hand, last seen being hit by a 1-0 home loss to New York in midweek, Dallas is on a downbeat run. In a run that dates back to May 28, the Burns have now won none of their last six consecutive outings. Plus, picking up just one point from one of their previous four games at Toyota Stadium, a no bet away draw can be found at great odds here.

Tip: Austin FC draw no bet @ 8/11

6:00 p.m. Finn Harps v Derry City

Left disappointed to have seen his adventure in the Conference League come to an end in midweek, Derry will be happy to focus on his domestic duties here again. Last seen in the Premier Division in an action-packed 3-2 win over Bohemians in the July opener, the Candystripes sit in pole position to earn another top-three spot this season. Although Ruaidhrí Higgins' men may have endured a worrying rut in May, it seems Sunday's guests have put those troubles behind them. Now claiming back-to-back victories in the top flight and enjoying a five-game domestic unbeaten streak, Derry also continued to impress with their performances on the road. Including that 3-2 win over the Bohemians on July 1, it's worth pointing out that Higgins' side have won three of their last four away clashes at Brandywell Stadium. On the other hand, while Derry could end up top of the Premier Division table, Finn Harps is having a nightmarish run in the Premier Division this season. Holding just a three-point buffer after dropping to the bottom of the board, the Blues also haven't won any of their last nine top-flight games on the rotation. Managing to muster just a pair of points on this dismal form, the hosts on Sunday showed some prolonged problems on home soil as well. Seeing Derry claim a 2-1 win in the trip to Ballybofey last season, we back a similar result here.

Tip: Derry City win on August 11

8:00 p.m. São Paulo against Fluminense

Starting with Sunday's guests, extending their Copa do Brasil adventure earlier in the week with a resounding 3-0 win over Cruzeiro, Fluminense enjoy a genuine purple stain. Soaring up the Serie A table, Fernando Diniz's men have now won each of their last six appearances in all competitions. With their stellar form highlighted by a 4-0 loss to Corinthians on July 2, the Habs really found a clinical advantage in the final third. Now sitting just one point from the top four, Fluminense has also impressed away from the Maracanã since opening the 2022 campaign. Diniz has lost just one of his last nine road encounters. As for this weekend's hosts, watching their own eye-catching unbeaten run end abruptly in...
