Just finished watching Valencia vs Eibar. It's pretty amazing to see a team, in this case Valencia, do eveything they can so that the other team scores LOL Dumb mistakes, wasting clear chances, more dumb mistakes, giving up ball possesion, even more silly mistakes...It was hard to watch  

Regardless, I've won my first of 2020 (: Valencia ML @1.66...gonna try another single bet in FA cup...Or perhaps Espanyol double chance? 

Leganes are a completely different team ever since Javier Aguirre took the job as head coach back in November. Leganes stats with Aguirre: two losses (vs Barca and Sevilla, very close games), 4 draws, 2 wins, pretty good stats for a team that's sitting in the relegation zone. On the other hand, Valladolid at home are...ok (2W, 6D, 1L). All in all, there were no favorites in that game so it was hard to predict a winner.

Too good to pass up, specially if you look at the H2H over the past few years.

The Getafe vs Real Madrid match seems interesting to look forward to. The two clubs have met 28 times in the history of the two clubs, and Real Madrid is superior with a record of 20 wins and three draws, while Getafe has only won in five matches. This has increasingly seen statistics over the past few seasons.

Since 2015, Getafe hasn't been able to beat Real Madrid, both at home and away. Of the last eight meetings, they won one draw, and the rest, seven defeats.

Thus, the record of Jose Bordalas's foster children this season is quite positive when playing at home. They have only swallowed one defeat in nine home matches so far, namely cons Barcelona (0-2) in the 7th week. The rest, closed with three draws and five wins.

Eriksen is a deal done to Inter in the next weeks for a 20-24 Milion €.
I will very surprised if he will end there for 20M to Spurs and 12M as salary.

I doubt Liverpool will end this season without a single defeat. I think they will end it with 2-3 draws and 1-2 defeats imo.
Now Arsenal winning vs ManU was surprising and unexpected! Same goes for Southampton vs Tottenham... Chelsea draw too...
Next Saturday Tottenham game vs Liverpool will be interesting. I think LFC will win with 2 goals difference at least

For sure he will be available next month. he got up on hospital again.

And maybe that's related to the news Steve had promised Champions League promotion participants to announce.

Here is what I am waiting for.

Arsenal was tagged 'invincibles' not just cause they went 49 games without losing a match, but because they 'won a league title' without losing a match. Liverpool can equal the record but would have to win a league title undefeated to have an invincible season. They are more than capable of doing it, although, I do not think it's going to happen for a couple of reasons;

They are the defending UCL champions and are likely to go far in the competition, possibly all the way to the final, with the points gap between them and the chasing pack they are likely to win the title before the final day of the season. In the event that this happens, they will prioritize having a fresh squad for UCL games over going unbeaten all season, hence resting a number of key players. If they do go invincible all season, that would be quite an impressive feat in the modern game.

Well, the latest announcement from Steve should get everyone excited! We already know for sure they honor their promises on giving out prizes to people who win these contests, so if anyone needs an excuse to get a passport done now, you have it:)

Happy belated new year to all you sport junkies!

If Tottenham continue playing the way they have been doing in their last games, then this one wouldn't even be any test for Liverpool, Spurs must improve their game all round to take anything from that game. The only thing spurs fans can hold on to in that game is the fact that Mourinho is usually a tactical genius in this sort of games, and he would be scratching his head on what tactics to use in order to stop Liverpool, he usually comes up with something, let's see if he does.
This is really unbelievable, klopp is building one of the best teams in premier league history, and if they can achieve the feat of going 49 games unbeaten, then they themselves have created their own history, up next is Spurs, let's see if they can stop them.

I think you should wait until they play against City. Tottenham is shaky as hell. Losing every now and then. If I were you, I won't bet at all.

@EdenHazard let me explain this to you Halland had a release clause of €20 millions which was about to be activated once the January transfer window began, and his agent wanted huge amounts from Manchester United because he knew Ole was desperate to get Halland.

However Manchester United walked away from the deal and his only remaining option was Dortmund, who agreed to pay those huge amounts demanded by Hallands agent. Now I know you’ll yet not be convinced so look at Pogbas transfer from Juventus to Manchester United, it took place only because of the money he made.

Looking at the way Bayern Munich have bought players from their rival Dortmund in the past, then I wouldn't be ruling this one out from happening, though if Dortmund are smart enough, they'll stop selling their star players to their rivals, how can they compete if they keep doing that.

However the cause of Haalands decision to move to Bourussia Dortmund is, the fact remains that he is now officially their player, and I just hope all the hype/media attention surrounding him wouldn't affect him, the boy has got some talent, so let's get over the transfer/dad/agent fee and see how quickly he'll adapt in Germany and how well his game will improve at Dortmund.

All of them are smart with their decisions to make that transfer from Real Madrid to Juventus.

- Real Madrid: They bought Ronaldo years ago, used him intenstively, won lots of titles, and still got back big transfer fees.
- Juventus: They fastly and easily got the transfer fees back by selling the Tshirts with CR7 in the back, and they also got big improvements outside and inside the pitch as well as potentiality to win the Champions League with him.
- CR7: He was smart by leaving Real Madrid and moved to Serie A, that is a perfect league for old players and he also got very good salary and priviledges in Juventus. Very smart!

Some reports suggest because his agent and his father demands additional money for his transfer, which is rejected by United and Juventus. IIRC around 10 mil euro or so for each of them. IIRC Dortmund buys him for 20 million, with an extra 10 + 10, they spend around 40 million probably.

Other than speculation, one of the obvious reasons is probably that United is not as good as before and Juve playstyle probably doesn't suit him.

Manchester United were absolutely poor right from the start, and I was also baffled to see Lingard back in the starting lineup as I was expecting Greenwood would start ahead of him. @Furious 7 this season you should avoid placing bets on Manchester United as they’re not playing consistent football, and you should only consider these three teams for your future bets i.e. Liverpool, Manchester City and Leicester.

Here are the picks for the next one. Good luck to all and hopefully we will have a 15 pick winner from one of us here on the forums this time!

So, with the arrival of Haaland in Dortmund, anybody thinks they can finish in 2nd or 3rd?

He's a great finisher but he need somebody that could deliver a killer through pass like Minamino. His movement between the lines is great.

Arsenal lost but their game looks better. They still need to find better players to strengthen their defenses. They got a bit unlucky because of Leno's mistake, and obviously Mustafi didn't play that well.

They should keep pressing high on the 2nd half to squeeze Chelsea out. If they keep playing like this, finishing in the top 8 is still possible imo.

Was watching the Sydney vs Melbrne city match and they were down by a red card early on but managed to score two goals. It was another strange one where melbourne had all the opportunities to win but just couldnt do it even with sydney playing with only 10 most of the match.

He seems to ask 8M/€ + Taxes.

For sure it is a good move for the if they will have him for this year but depending on the duration of his contract he will be a problem in the next market sessions.

I'm late to post my picks for the 15 Multi:

home wins: Brighton, Galatasaray, Sydney, Celtic, Arsenal, Fulham, Liverpool, Man City
draws: Southampton, Watford
away wins: Everton, Tottenham, Leicester, Man Utd, Fenerbahce

6-2 which isn't too bad at this point, there are only three guys with 7 correct picks. Absolutely missed on the Watford as seem most of you (everybody) had it at @1, but at least Watford Special hit again, twice in four days.

I see that @tomahawk9 has also 6 correct ones, and we both have the exact same picks for tomorrow...
