one other thing, have anyone watched match between Cadiz and Sociedad, I did not had a chance, but saw that Cadiz had not had a shot on Sociedad goal, neither in, neither out, and Sociedad had 76% ball possession, must say that I did not expected that kind of domination between the two, or to put it in another context, expected a draw in the end

I don't think it's any coincidence that they're top of the table now though (and yes I know Atletico will probably overtake them with the games in hand) -- they have been averaging out their dominance in games even in Europa League. But this type of victory means they won't last the season, 1-0 games after dominating like that can take a toll on mentality down the line (unless you're Leicester and were expected to relegate haha).

Sociedad are a second half team, though, based on my betting experience this season;)

Barca will be back into top teams, but will not finish within top2, it was clear before the season, and now it is more obvious that Atletico and Real will be on the top, while Barca will be third at most, but Sociedad is playing some good football this year, and could stay in the top3 for a while, which puts pressure on Barcelona and Sevilla for a fourth place fight
I would not count Villareal within top4, as well as all other teams that are currently within top teams, they do not have the bench to fight throughout the season

It was clear even the 3 seasons in a row that we lost in Champions League to crazy games. I still have bad nightmares about it.

I don't know if Real will stay on top, and not just saying this because they are our arch nemesis, but Zidane has a knack for getting things done so never count them (or us) out.

Atletico and Sociedad if they win, they will deserve it. Even if I don't like Atleti's style but Suarez plays there now and he will bring them more bite, not literally;)

Valencia is biggest mistery for me this season. Every time when I predict their win, they lose game or play draw. When I expect them to lose, opposite thing happens. I already said that they can beat Real, but on the next round lose against Huesca. While Alaves surprised me a bit so far, I expected to see them near the relegation zone before the season.
Bad round for me, just 5 points for me, while @tokeweed just nailing it with 14 points. At least I was able to make little profit in betting this weekend.
EDIT Maybe I made this post a bit too early. It's incredible how Gameiro missed and didn't made score 2:2

Learn to not bet on Valencia this season. They are the worst performers of La Liga, but can't really blame them after the exits of talent. Very very meh round for me. Still in 12th place:(

This is probably going to be my worst week ever. The Barca loss is what hurts the most though but they paid the price for not taking their chances in the first half with only 2 shots, and then all the 7 shots that came in the second half wasn't going to help them. Credit to Atletico here, they played their plan and got what they wanted. 12th place in Superbru damn.

That's okay man. Real only clawed back 1 point, and Atletico are a tougher opponent than Villareal -- Barca were actually the slight underdogs at some point pre-match based on the odds! Feel for you, but teams like Atletico always tough to crack, that's where Coutinho will prove useful once he's back in the equation. He did come on for final 30 minutes but not fully fit I guess?

Phew, those are some balls, webtricks I thought my 4-1 prediction was going to be the most ambitious;) I'd have gone for the upset but Suarez doesn't play (shame also). Barca almost 2/1 is good value for me, I'm definitely parlaying them in heh heh even though I promised myself to stop padding my parlays with them but 2/1 or more always where my money goes.

When I find Barcelona and Bayern Munich at such odds, I mostly tend to overlook their form in as much as they are not playing a team of the same caliber (If you get what I mean by that) and just go for the odds value, but as fan I wouldn't want to double my potential heartbreak, I might only add them to some random parlay off the same nature (Like City against Spurs, and Arsenal vs Leeds).

As for tonight in the pool, I'm ridding with a very narrow win for Osasuna.

Yeah I think I get what you mean. Even when not at full strength, or not in form, you generally have different mentalities when it comes to teams who have experience winning. I know that very well just seeing Liverpool my own team. Once you win something, you get a different steel and confidence, and maturity (which a lot is needed to win things).

Got 1.5 points for picking a 2-2 draw from Osasuna game, nil for Villareal win and currently need Sevilla to score to get 1 point hahahahahaha.

i forgot if I have Osasuna to win or not, but i added them to a multi (osasuna win) just for fun

Too bad for me, I'm starting the week off with zero points, Osasuna had to fight from behind to secure a point, even though they were arguably the better side overall, I felt i could have been an entirely different game, if they hadn't gone behind that early into the game.

Well, looks like Zidane will play with a weakened squad tomorrow given how many injured he has in the squad: Ramos (2 weeks or more), Casemiro, Benzema, Valverde, Jovic, Militao...big change of seeing Isco in the starting XI tomorrow, meaning that Villareal will play against 10 men, plus Varane and Nacho as CB duo? and Mariano as our main striker? oof! Hazard needs to to show up tomorrow Lips sealed

Wow, brave prediction, what should I say. I would like such final result, but I can't imagine how it can end with such score.

Well, Barcelona players were much better than Atletico players during international duty. Although, Messi and Griezmann didn't score a goal but both were at their razor sharp. Especially, Griezmann, who was the best French player (probably best Nations League player) of this break. When every other team is losing its player, good news for Barca is that Coutinho is back. Can't tell how much I am waiting to see fit and firing Messi, Griezmann, Coutinho and Dembele - all playing together in single attack!

5-1 isn't that difficult to imagine, especially when Messi's open-play goal curse has finally ended against Real Betis. Cheesy

Osasuna plays much better than Huesca at the start of the season, at home they scored a goal against Atletico Madrid, Ante Budimir will play tonight as well
I'm on 2:0 on pool and will take Osasuna as my single bet today

Though, Atletico isn't very consistent this season. Sometimes they struggle to score even 1 goal, but they also had quite many games with 3-4 goals. But they won't have Suarez on Saturday.

thx to the user who bumped the thread, i totally forgot the league returns tomrrow. Picks submitted!

About the big games: I'm expecting a comfortable win for Atleti so i went with a 3-1. If they can't beat the worse Barca in the last 10+ seasons, then Simeone needs to go. Tough match for Zizou & Co, but Hazard is back, so i expect him to score the match winning goal. 0-3 Sociedad, Cadiz are losing steam lately. And finally, a hard-fought 2-1 win for Betis against Bilbao, this will prolly be my only La Liga single bet in this Matchweek. Good luck everyone!

@casperBGD did some great pickings in last matchday and not only covered my healthy lead but threw me to the second spot. 19 points! That's some good work buddy, big contender for 0.0045 BTC prize!

This matchday is going to be very interesting. Especially, Cadiz vs Real Sociedad match. For me, it is the game of the week. I am rooting for Cadiz and believe the long run of wins for Sociedad will end on Sunday.

Barcelona will take easy win against Atletico Madrid (I am going with 1-5 in favor of away side Cheesy

).

Villareal can beat injury-prone Real Madrid squad. Ramos, Varane, Valverde, Benzema, Militao and Hazard, all unavailable for next fixture which will cause some serious trouble for Real especially in defense.

Bilbao and Levante can do some upsets. Meanwhile, good opportunity for Sevilla to get 3 points and climb up in the table. Overall, a good matchday and some exciting Spanish football action, bring it on!

Just entered my picks and that makes only 4 of us who entered picks for this week. Don't forget guys a new match day starts tomorrow.
Very tough games to predict this week for me. i have a bunch of 1:1 scores entered and I am not trusting Barca and Real this week.

I feel like Barca could end up with a point while I expect Real to lose against very good Villarreal. Real has some injury problems (Ramos, Varane, Valvrede, Hazard, Militao, Benzema?) and a lot of players with too many international minutes (Modric for sure).

Don't forget to put in your predictions for this pool. After leading in first few weeks, I've been sinking slowly towards the bottom so I'm shaking it all up this one with a loss for Real

But as long as Barca win, I don't care for other results. Sociedad looking pretty though, I do need them to win as have bets including them;)

yeah, will be a tough week, since there is no clear matches, or those where winner should be already known, as Real or Barca home match with some teams from the lower part of the table

Atletico and Barca match could be very interesting, especially without Suarez, since he is out now, but i do not count on Barca easy win, or win at all
Real and Sociedad are both having tough task, with Villareal and Cadiz, and i would not expect both to win, maybe easiest task have Sevilla, with a chance to go up on the table
