After missing out by just one result in successive editions, on an afternoon packed with goals and drama, This Week's Acca delivered an 18/1 winning five-fold for Sporting Life followers!
The signs were good even before kick-off, with the Sky Bet-enhanced price cut into 16/1 and the market pricing the five-fold at closer to 11s.
And acca backers definitely got plenty of bang for their buck as a total of 21 goals were fired in across those matches, with the main focus of the drama taking place at Portman Road and Meadow Lane.
This Week's Acca selections
- ☑️ IPSWICH 4-3 Blackburn
- ☑️ PORTSMOUTH 2-1 Lincoln
- ☑️ Northampton 1-2 BARNSLEY
- ☑️ MANSFIELD 1-0 Barrow
- ☑️ NOTTS COUNTY 4-3 Forest Green
The real drama came in East Anglia though. Ipswich led Blackburn 1-0, 2-1 and 3-1 but the visitors refused to go away.
With the scores locked at 3-3 with 25 minutes to play, things were on a knife edge, leaving Massimo Luongo to step forward as our hero.
The Australian chose the perfect time to score just his fourth goal since 2020 and send This Week's Acca backers wild.
All that was left was to survive the now requisite 10 minutes-plus stoppage time at three of the five matches involved before celebrations could begin.
