The Daily Acca: Fulham to fall at the final hurdle

Paul Robinson has put together a 12/1 Daily Acca, and it kicks off in the Irish Premier Division. Here are his selections:

New-boys to take the points

Bet 1: Back Shelbourne @ 11/5 - KO 17:45 BST

Shelbourne are back in the top flight of Irish football for the first time since 2013 and they have done well to win two of their opening five matches.

They returned from lockdown with a 1-0 defeat against Waterford, but I can forgive that, and the Shels have a great chance of picking up an away win this evening.

Finn Harps only just survived last season, needing to win a relegation play-off to do so. They did win their opening match of the new campaign, but since then it's been one point from a possible 12, and they returned with a 3-1 loss.

Wembley to be buzzing

Bet 2: Back Brentford 6/5 - KO 19:45 BST

The Bees narrowly missed out on automatic promotion, in heart-breaking style, but I expect them to make amends at Wembley

Thomas Frank's men were back to their best against Swansea last week, beating them 3-1 to overhaul a 1-0 deficit from the first leg.

Fulham did the hard-work in their opening game with Cardiff in the semis, as they won 2-0 in Wales, meaning that a 1-2 defeat at the Cottage wasn't damaging.
