well, over/under and BTTS, my condolences, that was a boring 0-0   

I had the game pegged as a draw so maybe I'll take more secure route of x2. Gonna go try and build something up now.

i decided to go for the handicap right before the start of the game and it paid off,, i like it when my friday tickets hit

Valencia is playing home match with Osasuna, but cup final is next week, and all eyes are on that one, since League position will be between 10-15 this season

damn! i totally forgot about the Copa del rey. No wonder we have such a high-profile game on a friday night (Sociedad-Betis). About this match, the recent head-to-head is something else: 3-1 Betis, 4-0 Betis and a another 4-0 in the league cup. Betis win @3.6, i'll take my chances 

And it dies with our predictions no matter what we say lol.

0-0 not in 10 picks would I ever have made it for this game, and yet this was exactly what it was served up. Maybe I should have paid attention to some of the chats who said both teams will be happy for a draw last night even though it didn't make sense to me at all. Sorry to BTTS also.

So, didn't even peek at any other game but now that Liverpool's finally (phew) through Citeh (for now), I've just come to see that my picks have lost -- still weirdly don't have access to Superbru but I do remember thinking surely we'll get Rayo to win, and I thought Elche would be Elche (but forgot they also do know how to pop up with wins).

Rayo is really down, but if Granada could not win them over, I thought Alaves would not do that as well
seems that Arsenal and Tottenham were watching FA cup between City and Liverpool instead playing their matches, so United is again with some CL chances

Valencia is playing boring match with Osasuna

I honestly can't explain what's going on with those super teams. It's pretty normal to get one or two of those every season -- I know Liverpool used to be one of the hot-cold teams, god those years in the wilderness, so I do feel for Spurs and Arsenal but not United -- they are rich and have superstars and big wages, it's a humiliation to play like them.

Villareal came through for me, but not Valencia, which, well is beyond being hot and cold!

[slaman29]

Levante 4 goals away? I did not see that coming. Or maybe I should have seen Granada loss coming. I have no idea anymore about the games especially these non-top-four fights. Everyone's just having fun at their fans expense now or rather, at my betting expense lol.

This suggests to me Atletico will drop points today

it was a close call for Atletico, but Bilbao is losing home match with Celta, which comes as surprise for me
maybe Real could lose points tonight, Sevilla is a good team, but honestly I do not believe in them to be capable to win home match, they could not win over Barca when situation was much different, in their advantage

4 goals is big deal, but Levante win after all isn't big surprise. After all, Granada isn't doing much better. Like I already said, in final part of season we can expect to see such results from bottom table teams - simply they will desperately try to not relegate. And personally, Levante isn't that team which I would want to see dropping to Segunda.
Meanwhile Real just made score 2:2 with Sevilla and they continue to push hard.

Benzema have given Real Madrid the lead in the added minutes, this is one of those match that Real Madrid had to dig deep and fight to get a result, getting a point from this game after being behind by 2 goals in to half time would have been a positive result imo, but completing the come back is just pure class.

Just give Benzema this year's Ballon D'Or already 

[tomahawk9]

between Sevilla staying in good form/as title contenders until April and Barcelona possibly winning the league title at the end of the season, i would go all-in Barcelona lol Sevilla always shit the bed in the league

Just give Benzema this year's Ballon D'Or already 

so clutch. he'll win the award this season 100%

this team never gives up, man, it's insane, the mentality is unbelievable. Played 120 minutes a few days ago and today they make another comeback. Modric, Benz, Vini, Rodrygo, everyone, so proud of the boys 😭

That was just an amazing match to behold with them going into the second half 2-0 to Sevilla. The odds makers had them at 20x plus to go on to win the match and Benzema did it for them with a goal with the usual calm and collected demeanor he is known for.
So this match solidifies Real Madrid winning the league statistically right?

yeah, one cannot count how many goals Benzema scored in overtime, or after 80 minutes, and all are close to be decision makers, it is not that he is scoring hat-tricks against Levante or Getafe, he is the best when needed
Sevilla proved what we all know, they are not top team, and that is it, and this season they could not win Europa league as well, which is their place to be, not Champions league

one more tonight, Barcelona vs Cadiz, shitty round for me, probably worst this season

[slaman29]

Benzema has to win it I agree but it also depends on if he wins more than just the title which arguably was mostly because of him but not in as big a way as in Champions League. And it's a popularity contest end of the day (I love Messi but I think voting for him last time was idiotic).

Someone has to copy the way he tells Vinicius to pass to him and score, like no need for Ancellotti just give the Benzema brain a rest

I can't believe they are still winning. I watched them last couple of games and it always looked like Real is nowhere, opponents are destroying them and then in second half or even just last 20 minutes of second half they start playing something. Then they always get the result they need, part of it is qoulity, part is sheer determination and part of it is pure luck. Teams should start to use those "bad" minutes much better and put the game beyond salvation.

[casperBGD]

I thought that Atalanta will be main mess-up tonight, but as far it is now, all matches will be without home win
Barca is down at home vs Cadiz, Napoli did not won over Roma, and Verona is leading 0:2 in Bergamo

shitty Monday, as always

[tomahawk9]

after everything's that's happened over the last few weeks, i'm 100% sure that Madrid losing 0-4 to Barca was nothing more than a glitch in the matrix, it was that 1 game out of 100... seriously, how tf did we lose to this Barcelona? LOL

Teams should start to use those "bad" minutes much better and put the game beyond salvation.

Man City and Pep are taking notes, they're going to be relentless in both legs of the semis

shitty Monday, as always

Man, being a Barca fan last week was rough, i mean, KO from europa league, real madrid qualified to semis in CL and they just beat sevilla... Now they start off the week with a loss AND the whole thing with Pique and the president of the spanish footbll federation. Well, when it rains it pours

Yes and not only this... for me the loses in the match was insignificant against the fact they show to all the world they are a very bad fans. They always chant and say things for catalunya and more but when the things go "wrong" they dissapear? They deserve to go down the pipe for this. One only season of bad results and they dont full the stadium? this show they have a ton of "tourist fans" and no real fans.
The other day for UEL the Eintrach Frankfurt embarrassed them not only on the pitch but also in the stands.

[LTU_btc]

It's likely that Cadiz will relegate from league despite this win, but they have simply amazing H2H with Barca in these two seasons - 2 wins and 2 draws.
Today's game was simply embarrasing and Cadiz win wasn't luck or something similar. It's well deserved result. It's simply amazing how everything can turn into worse side just in one week. When I saw that there is Garca and Lenglet in starting swuad, I already had fears that it may not end good for us.

agree, before Eintracht looked that Barca is on to something, now they are completely down
nevertheless, I would like to see Betis in Champions league next season, but on the expense on their city rival, not Barca or Atletico, Sevilla is really not top team

and Betis in CL would mean Valencia in EL, no matter cup final result , although I expect that we will win that one

[slaman29]

Well I hope someone made the Cadiz pick for a huge upset because of course I lost a lot of bets on Barca, not even 1x2 even, big handicaps and all that plus over goals whatever, I've no idea what went wrong, don't even want to see match reports.

Boogeyteam for sure man.

I was almost right wasn't I? The penalty they needed to win was absolutely bonkers too, I would never ever have called VAR as I saw nothing and even replays showed nothing. Oh Atletico
