Yup, there we go. Atletico losing, and after all this talk about them being weirdly different, they reverted, at home, to Levante, to defensive tactics that saw them get just the one shot on goal... while forgetting to fix defence and could have been worse if Oblak didn't save so many.
Anyway, disappointment, but hope Liverpool helps me purge this.

Trofo how can you lower your stake when your favorite market becomes high value 
I know it sounds counter productive and usually I do the opposite. This time the problem was difference between what I thought the odds should be and what the bookies gave out. I expected odds around 1.6 and if they gave 1.8 I would probably place higher stake bet. But they gave over 2 odds so I thought I am missing some crucial info about the game.

Can we hear a shout out for La Liga? I don't know what possessed me to watch this match, other than that there was nothing else on telly, but this was gripping from start to finish, the away team had to fight every inch to try and snatch points from being down 0-2. Bilbao Mallorca has one hell of a Korean in their attack, but I think they actually deserved this last-gasp win. Not pretty, but very positive play.
I could not believe when I saw odds over 2 for both to score in this game, seemed too good to be true so I got scared and wagered half the stake I initially planned to wager. There is goals in La Liga this season, I am thinking At. Madrid is the culprit that brought up averages from previous seasons. There is so much more goals in their games this season, almost unbelievable transformation. I am thinking Simeone is not happy, but we are

Anyway yes, I also agree that Atletico has somehow made things very different this season, but what makes me really wonder is that, is this actually a secret play from Simeone as in, is this a very conscious transformation? I read so many interviews about him and Suarez especially after the end of last season. About their style, their mentality, etc.
We also always tell him he has to change for the future. Maybe this time he really is but pretending not to like it? Mind games.
Most interesting to see is how they take on United next week!

friendly reminder that BTTS in a Barcelona game this season is pretty much free money, just saying 
Anyhow, no Araujo and no Pique against Valencia next weekend, " FC Barcelona to keep a clean sheet - Yes - No ✓ " 😂
I know it's nice to see players with emotions, but this red card problem has been something since last year in fact when Messi was still around. I thought it was an anomaly but we seem to be a team that's become very easy to get cards now. We're like bottom half of discipline table now
mentality. Some players lose their heads when they're facing difficult situations during a match, sometimes it's a red card, sometimes their peformance takes a nose dive right in the middle of the game and they forget how to defend properly (see past Champions league knockout stage results). It's the manager's job to fix this asap and believe Xavi is more than capable of doing thisAnyhow, no Araujo and no Pique against Valencia next weekend, " FC Barcelona to keep a clean sheet - Yes - No ✓ " 😂
Sigh yes, I hope Xavi finds a way, and I know it's soooo many things to look at and to fix. But the sending offs have to find a way to stop, just look as you say, no important players, and others could be uncertain, who knows now maybe the bet is on Barca to keep clean sheet to get great odds lol
*seriously maybe I should go to betbuilder to check out odds

not so sure about Barca, I know that it is far from real city derby, but with Barca in shaken form, Espanyol is certainly motivated to get something from this one, will be interesting for sure, odds are good, nevertheless
After all, it was real city derby. Mixed feelings about draw, maybe it's not worst what could happen, but I expected more.Can someone explain me what Garcia was doing when de Tomas scored? Justterrible game for him. And it's sad to see that such experienced player still react to provocations - cheap red card. It was a bit unexpected to see Dembele on the pitch. And Luuk De Jong, it's popular to mock him, but so far he is doing exactly what we needed from him.
Honestly guys, I'm not sure what to think about this game.
You can talk about taking the lead and letting it go, and then getting behind in fact but coming back in the final minutes, but for me the most important is we got another red card. That's two games back to back and 3 games with sending off in 2022 already.

Yesterday's Atletico - Getafe game was incredible. Atletico defense recently is awful, but still, it was difficultto expect such result.
Recent Real results - few months ago I said that's not possible to play stable all season long and some bad period had to come sooner or later. But seems that Sevilla don't want to use gifts from Real.

My bets today go towards Betis and Barca, very respectable odds on their wins, combined @4.

agree on Betis, it was practically a gift from bookies, looking at form and Levante chances to stay in Primera

Deportivo took a win, seemed quite straightforward.
This will be a sorry excuse for match between two great clubs in serious problems.

Very happy with the Atletico win myself, also have Barca in my multibet today, this derby is not a given but even in the past we have always tended to win, and now with the squad we have I am confident of scoring early. I have the same Betis and Barca, but also 3 away legs in EPL and Bundesliga
Now is everyone still ignoring Sevilla to make a strong push in the final third of season?
Come on man its unbelive how bad its Atletico Madrid defending, the y need to improve really fast if they dont want to be screwed so bad for Cristiano and Manchester United in the Champions League.
Getafe made 3 goals in one half and when they have 2 goals down.
Don't worry, Atletico is bad in defense this season but they are at least scoring goals to offset that vulnerability. United is bad in defense but they can't even score goals Getafe made 3 goals in one half and when they have 2 goals down.

I have Real on some tickets but Celta screwed me already and I didn't even realise the game was early so I discovered by seeing my tickets settled as loss haha. Don't know but ML on Real still seems worth it if you ask me. Benzema or no, and if he's playing impossible not to see this "upset".
Strange days, but yeah, it's a strange season already even if the leader is the one we all expected anyway. Match starting now but I'm all EPL today.

Sevilla. They have to win tonight don't they? I doubt anyone in this pool would predict otherwise or is that just me trying to psycho someone into drawing? Who knows. I lie in the bottom waiting.

Sevilla won 2:0, as planned, checked the pool and I think we have 10 exact scores in the pool on this one, probably most since the pool started
yeah, odds are barely on Real side against Villareal, had to check earlier results, and yeah, Real does not win there too often, so it is not unexpected to see odds like those, nevertheless, Villareal is having issues this season, and this can go on Real side
I don't think I've ever seen so many exact scores for one game either. Sevilla really gave everyone a nice start to the weekend, but I think everyone will be surprised by Villareal game tonight. Not just because they're a favorite, but also because Real are under pressure. But the Barca game is what 90% of people will be on one side, the most onesided derby in the entire La Liga I believe!

On my local bookie they have swung to Villareal side which I find a bit strange. Maybe the bookies know something we don't but only thing that could cause those odds in my opinion is possibility for Benzema to miss out today. Some twitter accounts are saying he should be ready to play so maybe wait until line ups and then placing a big bet on Real is the way to go here. February 12, 2022, 03:42:03 AM

Valencia catch a draw last night with Bilbao, should be enough for a re-match at home, and final with probably Betis
Sevilla and Elche will open this round
Villareal and Real are the most entertaining match for the weekend, but let us not forget about Barcelona city derby, Espanyol could be solid opponent to show is Barca in winning series or what

They were not even the favorites and I thought the odds would prove to be right but woke up to see that. A lot of replays doesn't help any team here.

tough away game for Real madrid this weekend but, to be honest, i don't care that much about this match... 1-1 draw? meh,, we lose 3-0? don't care, as long as we don't have any major injuries ahead of the CL game next week, it's all good... that six-point cushion at the top comes in handy in times like these (: nevertheless, villareal win x2.56 real madrid x2.74 ?? the disrespect, smh
