Still early season and Sociedad must first find a way to navigate both Europa and also La Liga. I think they first overcome United, then they will be favorites (or maybe still Inter) but I suspect they could throw away that game.

Nice Barca win and yes, maybe not a coincidence the lineup missed a certain French.

regarding Sociedad, they do not have strength to stay in top 4, it was obvious, but six matches without a win proved that
United is solid team, and that match would be interesting, I do not think that Sociedad can go through, but neither of these two can be a clear favorite afterwards, there are Tottenham, Napoli, Inter, Milan there to fight as well

Getafe didn't strike me as one of the losers at the start of the season but every time they can't win I wonder why I've been stubbornly backing them. Not that a 1-1 draw helps me anyway betting wise. Odds on Granada to win this right now is heading above 9/1. Should I bite? 6 minutes to half time and Real can't score still.

Hope you didn't bite. Granada put up a fight by defending (though fair enough they also had 4 shots so not completely Atletico style pre November!) and still lost by 2 goals. Odds were already 111 live for a comeback, impossible;)

Now to see what Atletico can do with 2 games in hand. They'll wish they beat Real though.

[buwaytress]

^ Nope, I didn't. I had to go live betting and Real scored just as I was toying around with the idea. Then I just went and did a Napoli parlay with 2 other DFB Pokal games.

They all screwed me anyway. Picking the Betis win in parlays didn't really help, although the 1-0 win did give me back a freebet from insurance (sobs).

You need to watch your back in the pool, I'm coming for 11th spots in the next round 

What an impressive round for big daddy with 20 points, I don't think we've had as much before..

[slaman29]

Yeah I never seen that amount of points before I think there was a 20+ round in EPL last season but that was during a round most people got close to 20 anyway. This is the kind of dominance Real/Barca used to have before the shitshows that is currently on display this corona season haha;)

[buwaytress]

Don't forget we've got a slew of games coming up from this evening guys! I put in my picks already even last week and I took a sniff around them and I think I'll just stick to them.

Please no draws tonight, I don't mind losing my parlays but seeing draws just makes me feel crap about them =p

not a single draw tonight, it is hard to expect from La Liga, and Villareal especially
I did not had some inspiration for this round, but do not expect some draws in this round either, will be interesting to see Barcelona tonight, would they confirm show from last round, or it will be same old "how to score" Barca in La Liga

what you expect in Sevilla this afternoon, home win?

Villareal is missing a lot of important players but I really like the way they play. If they had all first 11 players available I would say Villareal is not loosing this one. As it stands Sevilla is a favorite for a reason. I expect 2:1 for home team.

Barca game is something I will probably bet on live. I feel like this game will either be very tough for them or they will start really good and win with a big handicap. They are playing without Messi, Alba, Pique, Fati, Roberto so there is room for surprise if the game does not start like they want it to.

Barca have confirmed without Lionel Messi tonight and they will able win or not depend on Antoine Griezmann could replace Messi position to make goal on Eibar or not, maybe they have proof how potential him self and could be replace for Luis Suarez or Messi next season. I think Eibar become easy for Barcelona and get three points for tonight, how ever still have Martin Braithwaite become duet for Antoine Griezmann after injury Messi and Ansu Fati.

Barca killed me AGAIN. How often do you get a penalty that didn't convert and a chalked off goal from Braithwaite? Not knocking the guy, I still actually think he's better than Griezmann (Barca version I mean) but man, I got totally suckered into the Barca bet AGAIN.

Think this officially makes them the team that makes me lost the most parlays this season. And damn Betis now too haha 3-1 down bleh.

I guess it was last time when Braithwaite got chance to make penalty kick. Another shity performance by team today, but it's already so common thing this season that I hardly can find words to comment about this game. It's a joke to let Puig into the pitch only on 89 minute, it's sad to see how Koeman wasting his talent.
I don't even dream about La Liga title this season. But if we continue to play like now, there is big risk that we will end without spot in Champions league next season.

Yup, totally at a loss for me as well to comment. Just have to throw my hands up in the air and accept this is the team I love, and it is going downhill. Like you, I definitely know we can't dream of La Liga, and we should focus on stabilizing instead. I did even fancy us winning the Champions League but right now, I think it's realistic to just aim for top 4.

Well I guess you'll learn one day to never bet on Barca when Messi is not around Sort of called it few posts before.

I am betting big on La Liga tonight even though I know I will probably get rektd but all games look so good on paper. There should be easy victory for Atl. Madrid, Celta and Real tonight. Right?

Yup. My fault totally. I even said a few posts ago to please learn my own lessons and stop using Barca to pad up my parlays. Great strategy last season, moneywaster this season.

I actually have a parlay today on Atleti and Celta... Real I'm tempted to bet against... 12/1;)

There was a mistake that was quite fatal for Barcelona after being held to a draw by Eibar last night, especially Barcelona should be able to take advantage of opportunities in the early minutes after the referee gave Barcelona a penalty, but it's strange why Koeman gave a penalty taken by Martin Braithwaite even though Antoine Griezmann still has my position. a sense of being more precise in executing a penalty, a very bad result for Barca without Messi.

It's halftime and both teams are in the lead, although by a single goal, good luck with your bets.

Should Atletico win tonight and then secure 6 points from their two outstanding games, I'll consider Barcelona out of the title, sad but it's becoming the reality.

Somehow Valencia has become the "Arsenal" of La Liga, just 15 points from 16 games, 7 games without a win 

[slaman29]

Real also got crap luckily for us Barca but this is the problem with the two big teams of the league now, we are reduced to looking at how crap each other are and hoping each stumbles, while our rivals get bigger. But like I said before, Luis Suarez deserves to win with Atletico after the way we treated him.

[buwaytress]

So Trofo, neither your BTTS nor my Over 1.5 goals won. There goes my betslip dead on the first leg, I guess I'll just enjoy my rest of the new year's eve quietly and throw more money away tomorrow when I'm even less rational;)

Good luck everyone, happy new year's! Here's to a better latter stage of the season!

You were really unlucky for that over 1.5 to not hit. Sociedad had few very promising counter attacks which they fumbled and very good free kick which ended on the bar. Bilbao was never dangerous in this game so I sort of expected loosing the ticket.

Nothing more today betting wise from me, I am starting with drinks and then there will be some eating and hell of a lot more drinks 

🧨🧨🧨🧨🧨Happy new years guys 🧨🧨🧨🧨🧨
