I'm feeling great after the 4-0 Barcelona win. Because it was my exact pick in the pool.    Sergi Roberto did me a favour by scoring the last one in the final moments. I must add that Lewandowski was very impressive tonight by two goals. He has adapted to the team really fast by reaching his 4th goal in the La Liga.

Another pick of mine is 3-1 Real Madrid win. So far so good as it is 1-1 at halftime. I'm happy to see Espanyol scoring the equalizer because this can ease things for me as Real Madrid would keep the tempo high to get ahead again. And we can watch a similar scenario to the Celta Vigo match. Real Madrid scored three more goals after the score became 1-1 there.

Match week 3 Real Madrid vs Espanyol became a pretty exciting match. Real madrid won with a score of 3-1 against Espanyol who also appeared tough at home at the RCDE stadium.
Real Madrid's victory was thanks to Karim Benzema's action thanks to the 2 goals he created. The first goal was scored by Karim Benzema in the 88th minute and the second goal in the 90+10' minute which finally brought Real Madrid the winner. Karim Benzema deserves to be dubbed the Man of the Match. This victory brought Real Madrid to 4th position.

Not a bad week in general it was a very competitive especially for the winner of the game round, it all came down to the last game between Valencia and Atletico, and there were about 5 people or more with the same number of points going into that game, Congrats to Saint Loup with the exact score on the Atletico 1-Nil victory, it was a very nervy match but with Gattuso and Simeone coaching opposite sides what else would anyone have expected.

In the Valencia vs Atletico Madrid match, my prediction was Atletico Madrid to win 2-1. Although Atletico Madrid won, they failed to score two goals. Atletico Madrid forward players are not weak. Still, they are not playing well. We have to be more careful to predict Atletico Madrid matches. Teams like Valencia have 70% of possession against Atletico. Although Atletico Madrid won, Valencia dominated the match. Atletico Madrid will play against Real Sociedad next month. Madrid has a tendency to lose points in this match.

I think we have to assume us part of fault in Sevilla performance, we talked so much before the start of the season saying Sevilla always start amazing and after mid season they go down in performance. So Sevilla say Ok lets change that!. And made this start hahaha.

Valencia now buy Cavani lets see how much he can do to MVGA Make Valencia Great Again.

[casperBGD]

I was spooned in last round, and off to a really slow start in the pool, but there is enough time to change that
Valencia also had slow start, after initial win over Girona, three loses in the row, finishing with Atletico, that would not be that bad if that was last season, or one before that, but this season, Atletico is also pretty much in bad shape

but overall, Sevilla is biggest negative surprise

[slaman29]

but overall, Sevilla is biggest negative surprise

So far. I was half expecting Atletico to be another round of stupidity but somehow they managed to win.

Already 20 points separating top from bottom this pool, and I'm much closer to bottom than top, may I congragulate you personally CLS63 for the awesome exact pick for Barca. So much faith, more even than me

There is a fixture for today, and I hope everyone remembered to put in their picks, I had 1-1 Draw initially until a few minutes ago when I decided to with Celta Vigo to get a 2-nil victory, Cadiz are to win or draw a single match, they've lost all 3 games played so far and have conceded an average of over 2 goals in those 3 games, seems about right with my decision, hopefully, it will pay off at the end of 90 minutes.

You should have been the only guy not betting on a Celta Vigo victory because everyone has found the good outcome for this match according to superbru results. The round starts with a very disputed match result : ten 1point, eight 1.5point and one 3point, I guess I will lose my yellow cap this week-end lol. BTW I want to thank Trofo for the free bet very quickly sent to my sportsbet account. I wish good luck to everyone to win it this matchday.

Give thanks where thanks is due...I would love to take credit but this season it is all jeremypwr for free bets. Since yellow caps are public knowledge he picks winners directly and includes them together with PL pool and his contests. Thanks for that jeremypwr, one less thing to remember.

While we are on the topics of contest there is couple from Sportsbet running now in games and rounds section so go try your luck guys.

I will post final rewards tomorrow or the day after since pools are now officially closed and I am not taking any new particpants.

I had 1-1 Draw initially until a few minutes ago when I decided to with Celta Vigo to get a 2-nil victory

good call. Cadiz are relegation fodder, they avoided 2nd division by one single point last season, but they're not gonna get away with it this time, they're looking way worse in this season

anyhow, looks like i'm gonna be glued to the tv today, i mean: Real Madrid - Betis, Real Sociedad - Atletico, Sevilla - Barcelona (and then in Serie A we have Inter - Milan, Napoli-Lazio) ... btw, everyone's been shitting on Sevilla, i know have, now watch them pull a miracle win today

Yeah damn right, I'm glad to have to made the late call, At least it will make the prediction job a lot easier, when all you just have to think about is by how many goals will they lose week after week.

That makes two of us, and the Merseyside Derby was the starting point, alongside Celtics vs Rangers, the latter has been one sided after 45 minutes though, Celtic up by 3, I knew the Odds of ~1.75 was a free gift from the Bookies today, not with Celtics recent form!

We are really spoiled for choices today aren't we, so many derby games and games where I expect loads of goals scored. Unfortunately I will not be able to watch most of it since family is coming to my place for my daughter birthday celebration. What a poor timing, I was actually considering faking covid test and telling them to better postpone it We already did party for all the children in the morning so enough presents to keep daughter occupied, really no point entertaining any more.

Controversial victory for Real Madrid, I was expecting a more convincing result and I didn't like that after Rodrigo scored a goal, Real started playing in the style of their neighbors in the city and just killing time. Of course, such skills are needed, but ...
Has anyone seen to what digit Real Madrid's odds of winning have risen to? I stopped watching at 1.6 as it seemed to me unfair compensation for the risk in a roughly even game, and then Rodrigo scored a goal.

Betis is actually always good in Madrid, and usually Real has problems to win this match, even score a goal, did not watch statistics, but from memory there was at least to goalless matches for Real against Betis at home, in last five years

and Betis is great this season, think that this is their chance on CL spot

Atletico is up in San Sebastian, interesting match

[Swordsoffreedom]

Real Madrid 2-2 Real Betis
Fortunately for Real Madrid, they managed to get full points from this match as well. Real Madrid played well, but Real Betis were strong opponents. Due to the beautiful gameplay and match strategy, Real Madrid has secured 3 points from this match and is now at the top of the table.

Real Sociedad 1-1 Atletico Madrid
This match was very competitive as we expected. Both teams scored. However, Atletico Madrid's gameplay is still not stable. The players are also not performing well with the team. By performing like this they will not be able to challenge Real Madrid and Barcelona for the title.

Sevilla 0-3 Barcelona
Sevilla has been in very poor form this season. They did not win a single out of 4 matches and lost all three matches. Sevilla's position is now 17th in the points table. Sevilla could not put up any resistance against Barcelona with such a performance. Sevilla was badly beaten.

This game could easily have gone side ways, Sevilla, contrary to what you said did put up some good fight, and the game wasn't as easy for Barcelona as the scoreline might have seemed. Sevilla could on several occasion could have taken the lead early into the game, with Barcelona struggling to put a string 4-5 passes together and getting caught on the break on every other possession, Barcelona started the game on back foot, and also got dominated in possession by Sevilla, that's how hard the game was up until Raphinha gave Barcelona the lead out of the blue. Barcelona were only able to bank on that lead thereafter.

Real Sociedad 1-1 Atletico Madrid, for now the performance of Atletico Madrid is not constant, stable is fluctuating if it continues like this it will hardly be able to fight for the title

[buwaytress]

Slaman must be a happy man, you won a lot of bets from the very comfortable victory? Not as comfy as Real though, sitting at the top with Vini taking them on a perfect streak. Think this bodes really well for both teams in UCL.

Have to say Xavi doesn't seem to have fixed discipline though, for a passing and possession team, Barca racks up a lot of cards.

there haven't been such party in Mestalla for a while. Valencia is detroying Getafe 5:0. Congrats @casperBGD. Stadium is literally waving. After difficult first rounds it was difficult to expect such big result. Especially considering that previous Velncia games ended with 1:0 win or defeats.
Villarreal is on fire too. 4:0 against Elche and they yet to concede first goal this season.
P.S. Getafe scored 1 goal while I was typing, but it don't change anything
