Levante just scored in a solid match against Mallorca, very offensive and good football
they are on a road to their first win this season, in which they are scoring well, but conceiving a lot

2-0 it ended, and surprisingly quite a few of us in the pool backed the home win, I was going for a draw till yesterday and changed my mind, pretty amazing to have to wait this long for a first win, their fans must be happy. But they will have to string a few wins to survive the drop, so not sure I'm picking them often.

But does anybody else here think Celta Vigo is worth betting on against Sociedad? I'm considering it heavily because Sportsbet specials have Iago Aspas to score but Sociedad to win, and they are also the Super Boost selection. I would have gone for Correct Score but market's not available at the moment.

I took all specials today as all were high, so yeah hoping Sociedad wins but Aspas scoring is almost a given. They're in the lead already so great I guess. I did make a weird hedge though, Celta to win at HT paired with a live game... so I'm losing that unless they got 10 mins to get 2 in. Still, this could go either way and a draw looks suspiciously possible.

And in the later games, most of the favorites also got through except for Celta Vigo who again proved that for some teams, for some reason they can do well in La Liga but if you put them back into second tier league they seem to forget how to play there. As Trofo says, this is cup for you Smiley
Must say, I had great results in Spanish cup. Played a lot of games and every single one of them passed, only problem - it was for small stake since cup games usually don't work that well for me. Had Real -1.5 yesterday and was sweating a bit, I also had Betis to win @2.2 and then before the game odds on Betis shot up to @2.7. Very sorry I did not have the guts to put big bet on them. Line ups were known and I sow Betis had almost best first 11 but I thought it was a fixed game or somebody knows something I do not.
there's been some decent value in this round of the league cup...today, Sevilla ml @1.6 and they're playing against the 16th place of the 2nd division. Villareal with the same odds but they'll face Sporting who are 12th. Finally, Athletic Bilbao to beat a 3rd division team @1.4 sounds like a nice pick for a double, Sevilla + Bilbao perhaps

Didn't do any betting on any of the teams except Barca who actually ended up having to really fight it seems haha. I think overall the odds were good for all the La Liga teams, and that's probably because of Russian roulette, not knowing who would end up losing. Look at Villareal going out for example, so funny when they're getting somewhere in Champions League!

Good picks mate, congrats. After killing it yesterday I am back to loosing on cup matches. My choice today was Villarreal and you dodged it perfectly.

I am looking forward to some regular leagues action on Sunday. This time Premier League will spoil the party since they are playing cups but we have La Liga and Serie A to keep us entertained.

Just saw they're all right now playing! Good news is Valencia, Real Sociedad, Eibar all up by half time heh.
They all lost their advantages in second half Smiley That's cup for you, but not over yet.

New challenge is up, go make your predictions. I picked Villareal-Atletico and Roma-Juve since they have the odds about even while the other two "big" games have clear favorits (Real, Inter)

Sorry to you buway, Eibar lost, the others all went on to win.

Oh what the hell, I was desperately looking for games to put accas on tonight, and then saw some good Copa rounds playing. I took the 12.50 specials on Valencia, Real Sociedad and Eibar all to win in regular time, and was thinking Valencia and Sociedad are super value to put on accas... then totally missed that all these games playing early.

Last night was particularly hard on us all. Villareal already racing into 3 goals by half time. Hard to swallow for anyone who predicted 3-0 and still only got away with 1 point in the pool. Awesome run from you CasperBGD. I see my attempt in La Liga slipping further and further away.

Well done MoSalah for the yellow cap!

lol i paid the the price and wasted a freebet,, ffs  Roll Eyes

yeah, Barca won, cannot comment on quality, since I did not watch it

Villareal is already up, and this could easily slide into much goals
will be interesting to see Sevilla tonight, local matches are neevr easy, just as Getafe showed yesterday

it is probably a consensus on Barca to win in the pool
two brave souls predicted Mallorca to win...and how can you blame them,, barcelona have been abysmal and their starting XI yesterday didn't inspire confidence, but still, you're expecting a team close to relegation zone to beat a top team, more often than not if you do that you're asking for troubles lol i paid the the price and wasted a freebet,, ffs  Roll Eyes

Good win in the end for Barca, and only 2 guys log and rdbase decided to go against them even with all the bad Covid news? That's what I call faith in Xavi or bookies or I guess a lack of faith in Mallorca Wink I think at some point there was even a consideration of playing Ter Stegen in midfield or defence and take a backup keeper. Anyway, we march on for 4th place lol

Slava Ukraini!

i think i went with a 2-1 Barca in the pool, but my betslip is totally different because why not :⌃)
~snip

it is probably a consensus on Barca to win in the pool
but in gambling reality, I really doubt that someone will put money on Barca, egal chances to win for both teams, it can go any side, but I think that there will be goals, and that is my bet for tonight, over2.5, or even 3.5
I'm not really sure what to expect from Barca game. Yeah, I also haven't put money on our win, but went with our win 1:2 in the pool without much confidence. We are missing 16 players for various reasons and some players in our squad list for today's game is toltally unknown for me. On the other hand, Mallorca also missing big number of players and their squad isn't deep at all.
I'm very surprised about Getafe win against Real. In first part of season they were heading to Segunda in straight way, but recently they got some positive results. Now it's great chance for Sevilla to get closer to Real.

looks like barca will play with 4 centre backs in the defence cos they don't have any fullbacks available...i should've added Mingueza or Araujo to get carded, centre-backs playing as fullbacks sometimes leads to dumb fouls and yellow cards
That yellow cards for "full backs" could be a given. Centre-back are usually way too big and slow to contend with fast light weight wingers and they have no way of stoping them without fouls. Even if they are not yellow cards first time it happens they will start to be on 3rd foul. If opponent is not stupid they will also try to exploit that vulnerability and concentrate their game on the wings.

That type of defense can only work if Barca wingers are willing to help their full backs a lot.

what a shit game from Real today, ffs,, can we sign Haaland and Mbappe tomorrow? Benz and asensio-rodrygo-hazard were dreadful today


What will you play on that game, please share. Both teams have a lot of important players missing. I am thinking 0:1 for Barca.

Valencia killed all of us.
~snip

yeah, it was a good game until 80 minutes, but red card, penalty and Valencia was down
goal in last minute just nailed it to have zero points, it was a good chance to ensure fight in Europe positions, but it is a long season, and this one is better than previous, so not complaining

do not forget to put picks for tomorrow

True, they actually didn't lose too much from this game. The only thing is Espanyol was right below them so to give them 3 points just puts the gap even closer, but they need to look up and not down from them anyway.

And yes, much better season so far... just that now I'm wondering how the hell we will be playing with Covid as we are all forced to play if we have 5 senior squad members including goalie.

i might drop it on the Mallorca - Barca game...Mallorca are actually pretty decent when playing at home, only lost 1 game and they've had some pretty good results against the big teams this season, draw vs. Villareal, Valencia, Sevilla, won vs. Atletico madrid,, i could see mallorca going on the attack a lot and getting a bunch of corners, maybe add some booking points + mallorca double chance 🤔
Hurry up, you know those free bets have expiration date Smiley

Full game week for La Liga starts today, make your picks.
Be vareful when betting though, covid has done a number on many teams. I started checking the info a bit while making my morning bet slip and so far it seems Rayo is hit hard so maybe Atletico will have easier time and Real Socieded is missing 13 players. Both those games could get called off so best to wait for line ups and then place the bets.
