There is plenty of action across Europe's top divisions this weekend and we have picked out a fivefold acca featuring games from the Eredivisie, LaLiga, and First Division A which pays out at 78/1.
Sunday 1.30pm
Two Dutch sides experiencing contrasting fortunes meet in Amsterdam on Sunday with second-placed AZ in the sort of form to give struggling Ajax even more problems.
Maurice Steijn's men are stuck down in 15th place after taking only two points from their last four Eredivisie matches and they are now winless in six games overall.
The Alkmaar club have taken advantage of a soft fixture schedule by dropping only two points from their first seven games and can seize upon any mistakes from an Ajax side that look like they cannot resist taking risks in defence this season.
Sunday, 1.30pm
A solid defence has underpinned Twente's rise to third spot in the table with the Tukkers having kept clean sheets in three of their last five games.
A trip to mid-table Fortuna Sittard, who have lost back-to-back games 3-0 and 4-0, should hold no fears for Joseph Oosting's side this weekend.
After a good first half against AZ in Alkmaar last weekend, Fortuna fell apart after the break and look to have a fragile mentality that a stout Twente team should exploit.
Sunday, 5.30pm
Real Betis can keep their good run going when they travel north to face an Alaves team swiftly sinking into relegation trouble.
Manuel Pellegrini's side are unbeaten in four games and recorded their second home win in the space of a few days when they beat Sparta Pague in the Europa League on Thursday night.
Pellegrini has uncovered a new gem in teenage winger Assane Diao, who has scored in Los Verdiblancos' last three games, and can cause problems for a club that have lost three of their last four LaLiga games by the same 2-0 scoreline.
Sunday, 5.30pm
Gent, who only trail Union Saint-Gilloise on goal difference at the top of the table, have been getting away with some mediocre displays of late and their luck might not hold at home to improving Genk.
Gift Orban has stopped scoring and boss Hein Vanhaezebrouck admitted his side could have been three or four goals down before they clinched a draw at home to Sint-Truidense earlier this season.
Genk, who won 2-0 at Cukaricki on Thursday, have taken seven points from three tough away trips already this season and have the firepower to capitalise on any more slip-ups from the Buffaloes.
Sunday, 6.15pm
The First Division A leaders were not disgraced in a 2-0 defeat against Liverpool on Thursday and can get back to what they do best — beating domestic rivals — when they travel to Sint-Truiden on Sunday.
Alexander Blessin made six changes at Anfield, so the coach should easily be able to freshen up his line-up as they chase a fourth league win in a row.
Meanwhile, the Canaries have lost two of their first three home league games without scoring and appear better suited to playing away from home when they can set-up to play on the counter attack.
