Lazio were really unlucky last season I think. They were headed in an upward momentum until Covid stopped them. Most other clubs benefitted from the rest and break but not Lazio.

Got one of my fav midfielders (Lucas Leiva) who I hope gets over his injuries because without him they're not as solid in midfield. Inter should also have won last season but they kept getting idiotic after taking leads so I'm really not sure. That said, they do give good value odds because of that instability.

Atalanta is already 2:1 against Torino, playing into my hand, I've set 3:1 for Atalanta win against them   Regarding out side bet, the match between Osijek - Gorica is at 19h CET , so I will send you a link where you can find a stream so you can watch the match if you are not sleeping

DUDE. One penalty and one 97th minute goal, and it was total of 12 minutes injury time, well done bloody Osijek hahaha. Was it as good a match as the stats suggested?

Well done, and yes, now for Round 3 Superbru Serie A I have put all my picks at 1-1 as agreed. Good luck to me, currently in 5th spot, let's see if I can survive Round 3 hahaha. Well done again Viking.

Udinese X2, and Napoli with Milan to win are my Serie A choices for a nice ticket

I wish you good luck in the next round, it will be soooo fun to follow hahaha

Yeah Osijek-Gorica was a fun match to watch and quite tough one. Both teams were fired up and there was lots of good football to be seen. I was not disappointed with the match despite I had high expectations, so that says it all.

You can check the highlights here:

Damn, Rebic dislocated his elbow in the match, it was so hard to watch. I had the same injury, while playing for the school's team and had a broken elbow as a result. Sweat broke through me while I was watching him screaming and holding the hand, fucking traumas     I turned of the match immediately after his injury, couldn't watch anymore...

He was luckier then me in the end, but he will have to wear the cast for month and a half for sure, probably even longer. Such a shame.

Napoli with Milan is indeed one of the strong representatives of Serie A this year, hopefully they can win as expected from the previous match they look very good

Thanks for the link, I'm afraid the only Malaysian football clip I feel good enough to show to anyone is the one that won us our first and only Puskas haha: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4lRTLRCuGkE

I dislocated my right shoulder in my late teens playing football, guy twice my weight did a tackle from behind similar to Chelsea's red card against Mane last week and landed on me boom, shoulder gone. It is still weak until today, probably 20 dislocations thoughout my life so I'm like a right handed guy who doesn't even feel confident lifting a 20kg gas canister. Even dislocated while changing a light bulb once! It's like 20+ years later and I still have a phobia, that cold sweat and chattering teeth, fck I know your pain =p

Wasn't even the only injury I ever had but my second worst one is completely gone (that's actually a cool story but let's save it haha).

So I always feel for ppl who have football injuries -- the pain and recovery is one thing. The confidence after that. That's the main issue.

No shame m8 , goal was awesome and we both know that you can't have amazing quality of football without a lot of money these days, but you can find a lot of good matches in lower leagues in each country. Sometimes they get more tense and wild then matches in top leagues

Yeah, watching injuries is hard to watch for me, along with that elbow I have screw in my knee too   You are quite right, the confidence after the recovery is a bigger issue. After my recovery from my knee surgery where I had to lay on my back for 2 weeks with no books or tv, cos they messed my spinal block anesthesia, I had crazy headaches,dizziness and nausea attacks. So the first time I went out on my own with the crutches I had a major panic attack  

Took me, like 2 more months to defeat all that shit.

I will lock my picks in Superbru today and can't wait to see your picks locked all showing 1-1

Football really is life, isn't it? I know it's "sad" but the happiest moments of my life have been around football. Who doesn't remember the exact moment and place they were when their team won some crazy match (Istanbul for me, especially as I was nowhere in life at the time haha).

Glad you got over the recovery. My worst time in hospital wasn't football related but I was KO for 2 weeks (delirium, hazy memory) and about 2 months in recovery I did nothing and that was when I realised I may never play football the way I loved anymore and yeah, sometimes just coming back to a game after an injury you just never feel the same. And we don't have motivation coaches the way big teams have eh?

All my picks at 1-1 for Round 3. Watch me tear up Serie A;)

[morvillz7z]

Congrats to -CryptoViking- for taking down the yellow cap in Round 2, narrow win by just 0.5pts! Overall i feel like it's going to be a tight race all year long, just 5 points from 1st to 8th place.

Hopefully we get to finish the season, as you all probably know by now, there's been a huge outbreak in Genoa with 14 covid19 cases. Their game with Torino has been postponed.

Some important information down below:

The Extraordinary Council of the Lega Serie A has confirmed the application of the UEFA rules in the Italian League.

If a team have 13 players available, including a goalkeeper, the match should go as planned. If a team still can’t participate, they will suffer a 3-0 defeat by default.

The clubs are allowed to ask for one postponement without being handed a defeat, if they have at least 10 positive cases in the same week.

And we don't have motivation coaches the way big teams have eh?

But we sure have 3rd half in local pub. It is now 8-9 months since I last played a game and missing it more than I thought possible. At least I was able to join the gang on drinks here and there, would have gone mad otherwise Finally taken care of knee arthroscopy 3 weeks ago and hopefully will be able to come back to football in another couple months.

Shit will get worse before it gets better for sure. That is why I insisted to add that clause on money back/payout of rewards just to be sure. I don't expect any league will get cancelled, there is too much money involved but tere will be a lot of games rescheduled though. We shall see...

Lols yeah we had that too but where I come from, it's more like street food late night (we play football at night or even futsal past midnight because most of us get off work and home like after 7pm and it's too hot to play in the day time) so yeah that was nice... hope you get that knee done, I always feel the pain seeing players walk off because we all know how it's like and that's just us amateurs... can't imagine what it's like for professionals. Take it easy man.

@morvillz7z  Thank you, it was a close one indeed Guys you need to wake up, so far Croatians are beating you, first @Trofo now me, both with fu..d up knees lol  Trofo wish you a fast recovery m8, been there.

The only guy I know won't be getting a yellow cap next round is @buwaytress  As he lost an internal bet with me so has to put 1-1 score for all the round 3 matches 

I feel sorry for you m8, but it is also fun haha, now when you win the round and rub that it my face 

[Harkorede]

Everyone is starting the week off with Zero points 

The level of consensus with predictions us really going to make this a very close competition, I locked some of picks in matches where I'd expect an almost even selection for win, draw, lose, but there still some 70%ish+ consensus.

Hey, you never know. I'm looking forward to at least 3 1-1s for this round. I'm actually picking a Juventus loss otherwise, but judging from last night's narrow 1-2 result, I might get some joy after all. I'll definitely be rubbing it all in your face by Monday =p

Croatians are fcking me up in all Superbru leagues haha.

Unfortunately, it seems that Juve - Napoli game will be postponed. Napoli have few actived Covid cases and local authority banned team from travelling to game. Last weeken Napoli played with Genoa, where big Covid-19 outbreak happened.

That's sad to hear, I hope this doesn't affect the whole league as a whole, we are just getting our football back 😏

Props to who ever had Sassuolo to win 4-1 (that was @Morvillz7z, right ?) I saw the pick while making mine and I was like, 4-1 fr?

I think I'm currently 3rd place, except I performed badly with the rest of my picks for this week 😏

[morvillz7z]

I'm actually surprised no one has picked Sassuolo to score over 2 goals, they are like a mini-version of Atalanta, putting goals in bunches.

Unfortunately, it seems that Juve - Napoli game will be postponed.

It won't be postponed! Napoli will be handed a 3-0 defeat if they don't show up for the match tonight. Anyone picked 2-0/3-0 Juve, congrats.

Ah damn, yeah I just read about that. The virus definitely making its presence felt in Europe. I've seen even Liverpool get hit with Thiago and Mane now in self isolation so I'm hoping it doesn't spread to others as that's a whole damn 3/4 games missed if you need to self isolate.

And yeah well done 4-1. I'm so far yet to score a point ha ha ha. Damn me. Come on boys, 1-1!!

[Trofo]

I am watching that one as a hawk Waiting for team news etc. There could be some nice money to be made if Napoli shows up with weak side and just 10 minutes before the match. I know their departure has been postponed and it ruins players concentration if they don't have usual training/warm up on opponents pitch. Still a lot of time before the match. Concentrating on premier league first and hopefully I'll be swimming in money until this one comes along, probably I'll be broke

Man! You went 5-1 for Atalanta too, you missed the exacta by a goal, I'd never comfortably go for more than 3 goals even when I'm expecting a blow out win in a fixture.

I've already got Juventus to win 2-0 since I made my picks.
