For Friday’s double, we at Accumulator Tips have picked out two games which could land you odds of 9/4 if successful. You could turn £35 into £115 in our latest accumulator.

Monaco v Toulouse

Monaco welcome Toulouse to the Stade Louis II in the opening game of the Ligue 1 season, and are favourites to pick up all three points given the contrasting fortunes of the two sides in the last 12 months.

Leonardo Jardim’s Monaco side won the Ligue 1 title last season, ending the campaign with 12 consecutive wins. They boasted 17 wins from their previous 18 home outings too.

This summer, Monaco have won two and drawn three of their six pre-season games before the French Super Cup, and will fancy their chances as a result.

As for the visitors, Pascal Dupraz’s Toulouse ended last season without a win in six, picking up just two victories in 11. Toulouse won just two of 19 away games in 2016/17 too.

Monaco, who finished 12 places and 51 points higher than Toulouse should take advantage as a result.

Sunderland v Derby County

Sunderland welcome Derby County to the Stadium of Light in the opening game of the Championship, and are favourites to get their campaign off to a flying start.
As for the hosts, Sunderland suffered relegation from the Premier League last season, ending 2016/17 with five defeats from their last six games. The Black Cats have revamped the squad but the changes made might see them disjointed.

Derby County are no slouches but struggled on the road last season, winning just one of their last nine games. The Rams will likely settle for less on Friday, giving the impetus to a new-look Sunderland side keen to impress in front of the home fans. The Black Cats might edge this one.
