Atletico Madrid succumb to yet another defeat, I wonder how long will this go on for before Diego Simeone's job would be at stake ? I don't think he'll finish the season at the club if there are no changes with their performance and most especially the results.
Bear in mind he is also the manager with highest wages in the world. I belive Pep is maybe now making more but he was highest paid for long time. Just to put things into perspective, he is still earning double of what Ancelotti makes in Real Madrid. Makes you really think, especially since even when Atletico did well they played unwatchable football.

It seems that Sevila kept their local derby mindset when starting the game tonight, don't know how else to explain two red cards inside first half. They are already trailing 2:0 against Sociedad and this game is already over. Just a question of how many goals Sociedad will score tonight.
Not gonna watch but I am interested to see if Atletico Madrid is able to get full 3 points tonight. I am predicting another though game for them and possible draw.

I think Sevilla will probably be proud of themselves for avoiding total humiliation from Real Sociedad by getting back with a goal difference and they were able to keep the defeat marginal. I was expecting a large goal difference tonight and Real Sociedad were going to make that happen, but Bono made some really great saves and earned me an exact score point in the pool.

It feels good to know that the team would be heading into the international break at the top of the table and in great spirit.

La Liga is in real trouble, being on top few seasons ago, now Barca as top La Liga team at the moment, having almost all points scored so far, not able to reach knock-put phase in Champions league, and other teams follow
Real was lucky with their group to pass-through, but close to think that Liverpool is going to trash them easily
Girona seems better than expected
Mmmm i agree with you in the Barcelona part, but in the Real Madrid one no. You know Real Madrid always have this upside down, but a diference between them and the other teams its Real Madrid only loses matches with not so much importance, and in the real ones they win.
Also Ancelotti says some in this way. He said "better a lose now than a lose in an important match" after losing against leipzig for UCL.
And in Girona.... what can i say i went for Elche and his first win but.... not ended good.

Big chance for Barca to win today but it will not be easy away from home and I am a bit hesitant to put money on them today.
If you had put some money on the match and watched it as well, it surely would have been a typical game of mixed emotions right from when Barcelona conceded the early and Lewandowski also getting sent off for a second bookable offence, although, I felt it was somewhat harsh, but it rather needless from Lewandowski too especially knowing he was already booked earlier, It was probably Barcelona most impressive win so far this season, coming from a goal down and playing with 10 men for well over an hour against this good Osasuna team.

Would never expected games today if I didn't check the markets for morning ticket.

And it's last La Liga round before World Cup break. Upcoming weekend there will be first round of Copa del Rey played.Big chance for Barca to win today but it will not be easy away from home and I am a bit hesitant to put money on them today.
Barca game wasn't easy at all. They conceded very early goal, tthen Lewandowski got second yellow card already in the 1st half. Interesting that referee of this game in his career gave red cards to Messi, Neymar, Saurez and now Lewandowski. Also, Pique probably become first player who got red card after retirement. And what a goal Rapinha scored, something similar what Van Persie scored against Spain in 2014 World Cup. Very rare player would make decision to make header in such situation.
P.S. I can't believe that I managed to predict outcomes of all 3 today's games and even got one exact prediction
November 08, 2022, 02:15:14 AM
Just a friendly heads up so that you guys don't forget we have new bunch of games starting today. Lots of you without predictions and I am sure some of you don't expect new game week to start day after previus one finishes.

Despite watching the vast majority of Barcelona's game this season, I haven't particularly been keeping up with the statistic and only got to find out today that Barcelona have only conceded 4 goals from the 13 games played so far, I sure would have argued it was more without having to check.
Yeah, we started getting better at the back once we put in experienced hands, many including myself did hope for youth all over the field, but I have to admit, in defence especially, it can be a wise idea to put veterans in and leaders, the hunger to win is attack minded (I don't know how to explain it more).
Wow. I don't know what the odds were but for sure not over 10/1 or I'd have taken it before, but Rayo... are ahead.
Yeah, we have been given a strange gift by an unexpected team... but you are right the odds showed that Rayo were not huge underdogs
I saw it was something like 4.8 before the game started and did something I haven't done in a long time thinking you would never get Real at such odds?
Lost it but man if I can bet and lose that much every game to ensure a team loses, I would lol

Monday night drama if you guys aren't watching, Trejo took a VAR given penalty but Courtois saved to keep the score 2-2 (oh and their manager got sent off too, you know because they like that), but VAR recalled and saw he'd stepped off the line to save it. Retake, scored, and 3-2. All this after I missed first half of 4 goals.
Real are scary. 1 shot on target, 1 goal (1 was a pen). So they really don't need to create chances when playing like shit. Just create goals.
There are going to be more cards than goals in closing 20 minutes...

Rayo Vallecano did Barcelona a solid one there, and I can't argue Real Madrid played well enough to avoid defeat, I often find them to be most luckiest teams in recent because of the numerous comebacks they've record and play utter shit football but still get the win, not tonight though! They had only 2 attempts on goal for the entire game.

I really cant understand why im doing so bad in both LaLiga and Serie A pools, luckily im doing great in PL and UCL.
What can i say about of yesterday Andalucia derby, i think Betis have to punish Nabil Fekir, you are winning 1-0 and have one more man in the pitch, you can be so idiot to make the referee send off you.
And the goal of Gudelj, what a goal and amazing shoot, nothing to do for Bravo, and after that goal he hit the woodwork one time and make Bravo makes a fantastic save in the last ball.

Betis - Sevilla game was something what you expect to see in derby. Maybe not the best quality football, drama, fight and 3 red cards. There is so many things happened in this game, esepcially in the end of 1st half. Playing almost whole 2nd half 10 vs 9, one goal and draw is best what Sevilla could achieve.
Atletico failed to beat Espanyol, despite that Espanyol got early red card. Villareal lost at home against Mallorca. I don't even know what to say about my performance in the pool. With such results, getting 10 points per round looks like a dream.
Rayo Vallecano - Real on Monday, it should be interesting game, in recent seasons Rayo isn't easy opponent for Real.

I keep forgetting to make derby games a card selection, love putting on sending offs as they have good value despite happening quite often in La Liga. But this was definitely unique situation anyway to get 3 guys sent off, 2 I think requiring VAR (or do all red cards now need VAR?).
SO many draws last night that MoSala profited a lot from this result
But from what I have seen it was super interesting game.MoSala knows his predictions, no matter how the games finish somehow he always does good.
November 07, 2022, 12:07:23 PM
^ Think I last did a nice red card Betbuilder in Serie A, but yeah, I have to agree card markets probably provide great value, I'm just not really in the kind of mentality to look for those stats. Just feels different you know?
Final game of current Match week, can't believe I'm only sitting on 2.5 points ha! Don't forget to put in picks for matches that start in <48 hours for the new round!

Sevilla derby tomorrow, any thoughts about it? It seems that change of manager didn't gave much positive impact for Sevilla. It's not that Betis is obvious favorite, but I can't remember Sevilla rated before derby so bad.
And yet not quite enough to make me place bets on them. Was really hesitant on adding Atletico to my acca which I am just about to put down, and glad I didn't as they look stuck as hell.
On the other hand, I did put Villareal in, again, nothing to share here unless I hit.
In other games I believe Atletico Madrid has to bounce back and win against Espanyol. Espanyol is especially bad when playing away from home and Atletico has to win games like this if they plan on playing CL next season, let alone challenge for the title. To be fair I think that title challenge boat has sailed for them, Barca and Real, both with 10+ points at this point of the season should be too much to overcome.
I've to keep predicting them to win most games, but they're really letting themselves down. Coughed up for Griezmann, wondering what's happening with Joao Felix, but problem now at second half if they're playing against 10-men Espanyol. Worst thing to happen at home at Metropolitano IMO.

Derby de Sevilla on Sunday boys! 
Betis vs Sevilla is one hell of derby with entire city picking a side until the game is over. I do hope Betis will get that victory over Sevilla who are having a rough start of the season and Betis should take advantage on this and get those 3 points and consolidate their 5th position in LaLiga even further. Meanwhile , Sevilla is on relegation spot , being nr 18th in LaLiga ,with one of the most catastrophic start of the season in history of this team...so pretty rough for them but they will look to get points in this derby for sure but I have doubts they will get any.
I am looking forward to this one and I can't see how Betis could lose in this match. That being said it is a derby and derby games have a knack for going in the wrong direction over one bad start or something.Betis vs Sevilla is one hell of derby with entire city picking a side until the game is over.

Barca 2:0 Almeria and last game for Pique. Result don't reflect game, Barca wasted many chances, Almeria goalkeeper also performed amazing. That Lewandowski missed penalty - oops. It was just terrible, but shit happens sometimes even for him. Pique final game was solid. And when he got substituted was very emotional.

Pique is rich from birth, one of those few successful players who is not middle class or who was very poor, who took soccer as their true vocation and not life decision.
Would Pique be the first player to play for Barcelona and become president? In case it happens.
That's very doable but it would give him an extra 5 years or maybe 50-something years of old.
Girona 2 - 1 Bilbao
La Liga? More like La 50/50 coinflip Liga... Wtf is Girona doing beating a top 6 team? What's next? Relegation fodder like Almeria and Cadiz winning comfortably tomorrow?

I reckon he'll be the president of FC Barcelona within the next 5 years
