meaning that @Trofo gets the yellow cap this week 👍

Woohoo my first yellow cap, this week my strategy of picking 1:1 when I don't have a favorite or feeling for goals paid of with 4 exact scores. Very happy with total points considering lots of strange results.

I was sure Betis is not loosing yesterday and then they fall so easy. Just judging per scoreline, did not watch the game.

Betis - Eibar today @21:00

both teams not good looking on the table, Eibar played five inefficient matches in a row, Betis lost 4 of the last 5 matches
1:0 or 0:0 is my prediction for tonight

i should've checked this thread earlier, Betis lost and they screw me over in a free bet. I didn't know they had a such a bad record, at least Eibar were getting a few draws prior to the match tonight

Only @Harko predicted the Eibar win, rest of us got 0 points as we backed the clear favorite on paper :/ meaning that @Trofo gets the yellow cap this week 👍

I'm backing Betis tonight. Their squad is significantly better and bad period should end sooner or later. On the other hand, Eibar achieved all their wins this season playing away.

What a match to enjoy for the Barca fans! I was so used to see such Barca dominance till couple of seasons ago. Barca used to easily win matches at home with 4-NIL, 5-NIL or even 8-NIL scoreline. Kudos to Koeman for trying a brave move and playing such an attacking team. Barca back with 4-3-3 formation and it paid off!

Did not watch it unfortunately but very glad that Barca had a performance like this. They did not forget how to play and they will have performances like this on good a good day. I am a bit afraid what happens on a bad day. This team looks quite bad when things are not going in the desired direction and it has been like that for quite some time now.

Messi is arguably the best player in the world but he is lacking that quality to yell a bit on the team and energize them all to give their utmost best on the field. I can't imagine someone like let's Roy Keane to lower his head and stop running/playing after getting a couple of goals down.

Griezmann was magically good today! It finally appeared that two of the 'Ballon d'Or Final 3' are playing together. Well, what can we say about Messi - his first game of the season as Messi. Creating 3 goals out-of-nowhere (one got disallowed), scoring a banger from outside the box, those angle passes to Griezmann and Braithwaite from the right wing, those over the top balls for Alba and Coutinho. A usual day at office for Messied-Messi.

You couldn't have said it better, even as a Barca fan, I had to switch through those highlights several times. It's so different when the mentality of the team is like this, you see people enjoying the game instead of looking worried. You see people laughing instead of proving a point. I really hope Koeman sees this, enjoys it, and take more risks and more adventure because we need to return our hearts to the football in Barca before we think about getting points.

Well, we all know why this match would be remembered - the biggest football icon of this century giving tribute to the biggest football icon of the previous century:

enthralling to watch!!

Anybody watching Real Madrid? Just saw they are loosing 2:0, at home, against Alaves Cheesy

This is a golden opportunity for a team like Sevilla, Villareal or even Real Sociedad to take La Liga. I don't remember when both Real and Barca were this bad and Atletico Madrid is nothing special as well. I am hoping for surprise champion this season.

Definitely would love to see Sociedad take the crown this season. They've been hitting good value bets almost every game I pick them either for La Liga or Europa, almost around 2/1 so I'd like for them to continue their streak for a little more.

Definitely the worst season for both the big boys in my living memory too -- and the fact that their wage bill dwarfs most of La Liga makes it even more painful I imagine for a fan.

So, Real lost and drew their last two games, but Barca not being able to capitalize on the last game so we have to win this one to make the week worthwhile. Ramos gets back soon and we have our own defensive crisis. Atletico and Real Sociedad are taking full advantage so we better just win some games and get back on track.

Bad odds for tonight but I picked Sociedad+Barca to win. If I lose the bet because Sociedad draws or loses, I'll be happy:)

Lazio fcked me up already on 2 big parlays. I'll try not to throw any more money away tonight...

I'm watching game not from the first minutes. 2nd goal was scored after awful mistake by Courtois.
I'm very sceptical about chances of other teams, but I think it's great opportunity for Atletico. They don't look special, but they are still without loss. They already have 6 points lead against Real and game in advance. Today Atletico achieved another their tpical, difficult win against Valencia.
Sevilla, Villarreal and Sociedad looks good now, but I doubt that they can play stable all season long without droping points agianst mid table teams. Especially considering that all these teams continue to play in Champion/Europa league, so they will nned to rest players against weaker teams.
I watched Sevilla game against Huesca and their win was also very difficult. But win is win.

agree that Real and Barca are really low this season, Barca is expected from my point of view, but expected a title race from Real
nevertheless, still think that Real will finish top 2, probably chase with Atletico, that is playing "champion" way this season - that means "1:0 wins are 3 point worth, as any other"
would like to see Barca out of top 4, but really cannot think about Villareal or Sociedad holding up to the end, Sevilla will be within top 4 probably

Damn it, two home wins I picked, and two home leads squandered like crap. Actually got the Atletico 0-1 score exact but that was an own goal too, what are the odds for that eh?

Not looking good for my 0-2 Sevilla prediction either, but I'll take any win at this rate. Just as long as they don't concede from now heh.

La Liga kicks off today with one hell of a match!! 17th place Valladolid vs 18th place Levante. Very exciting stuff /S 😐

I can hardly wait for this game, I don't know if I am more excited for this one or C. Pallace - Newcastle in PL. Day of the exiting derby games Undecided

I am actually tipping on draws and getting the hell out of the house. Today is the last day before more covid measures hit my place so I am using the opportunity for playing some football with friends and getting couple of bears before lock down.

Still 3 guys did not put their predictions in, hurry up not much time left.

Oi! this thread was about to get buried in the 3rd page,, can't let that happen, can we? Grin

anyone else thinks there's value in Barcelona 'Win to Nil - No' @1.60 odds? no Pique, no S.Roberto, weak defence, barely any clean sheets this season even when Pique was fit. I predicted a 4-1 Barca win...a battle between mid-table teams can guarantee goals from both sides, no?

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

It just happened that way. They are actually playing quite well from first whistle but it just so happenes that they score more in second half. At least that was the case in couple of the games i watched. Wolves are true second half team, they don't even play first half

Very happy with my performance in this round. Second place just behind crazy toke. He was way to good this week, next year I am introducing drug testing for performances like this

I was talking about them betting wise;) Somewhat reminiscent of Liverpool's past two seasons before this. Dominating like hell, and then scoring 50% of their comeback wins in the last 10 minutes. Exciting in a way, but not healthy for a fan!

I think I lost many bets and parlays on Sociedad winning at HT. They do end up winning but not until it's late.

Wolves as you say have the same result but they prefer to hit back later on when opponents are tired, and then Adama just destroys them all.

Toke is definitely on "enhancements".

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;)
