Negotiating existing offer with a new one

I'm expecting an offer from company B (higher than company A)

I have already accepted an offer from Company A. How should I communicate to Company A to raise/ match the offer without damaging relationship with Company A?

They may or may not increase the offer. Many times HR already has a backup ready, so if you re-negotiated they might pass the offer to the backup.
