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

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?
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
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

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 funToo 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.
November 20, 2020, 05:07:31 PM
Well, 4 players got their 3 points on this first match from round 10, good job guys!
For tomorrow’s early one I’m going for Villareal and Madrid to win

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 
First place team vs most-exciting promoted side! Best game for me any day, especially, when I am favoring upset in the game. 
fair play, m8! good luck As for tonight in the pool, I'm ridding with a very narrow win for Osasuna.

Barcelona will take easy win against Atletico Madrid (I am going with 1-5 in favor of away side ).
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.
This matchday is going to be very interesting. Especially, Cadiz vs Real Sociedad match. For me, it is the game of the week.
really? over the game between 2nd place Villareal vs 4th place Real Madrid? or the walmart version of El Clasico with Atletico and Barcelona? First place team vs most-exciting promoted side! Best game for me any day, especially, when I am favoring upset in the game.

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

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. I don't expect high scoring game between these teams. 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).
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;)

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

Real is playing away to Valencia. Valencia has been terrible so far and I am thinking on backing Real to win in this match. I am bit afraid since I always lose the ticket when I put Valencia on it but I will give it one last chance here. That was a fair warning to all of you to skip this game and predict something other than Real win
Real Sociedad top the table thanks to that, and now Barca just needs to win 2 more games in hand (plus Real one game in hand) to at least stay within distance. What an exciting table it looks now, just see if Atletico win their 2 games in hand THEY are top with a huge lead already! Granada even will be level on points on Barca if they win. Incredible.
Anyway, I'm bottom of La Liga pool after a strong start. Sad:)
November 09, 2020, 03:31:28 AM
4:1 for Valencia at the moment, WTF, is anybody watching this?
yeah, we did not scored from the play, three penalties and one own goal, did not expected it, but i am happy with this win over Real, it is always good to win a big one, no matter how, since there is no way to say that it was deserved to have 4:1 at the end
agree, last night was great for bookies, all the results were far from expected
Ah yes, the days of Benitez, that was also my first intro to La Liga (only because I had friends with Real and Barca and here were the upstarts winning it all. How to win a game by a big scoreline without actually scoring from open play. Marvellous season of Sunday football haha.
actually, the best time was under Hector Cuper, two missed Champions league, but the road to those finals made those years full of fun and joy for me
