Re: Liga de Fútbol Profesional > April 17th - 20th Elche - Real Sociedad I think Elche is with a slight difference the favorite here just because they are more motivated than Sociedad. But it's too soon for Sociedad to relax and they can certainly do the damage. According to what every team wants and the shape they are in lately I think the game is gonna be equilibrated. Worth a bet on X since it's above 3.00 in almost all books Draw @ 3.08 Marathonbet

Re: Liga de Fútbol Profesional > April 17th - 20th
I'm not sure for betting to a result here as Espanyol also want to win this one. If they do so they'll get just 2 points behind the 7th place and Malaga which plays at "Bernabeu" against Real Madrid this round. The 7th place in Primera Division will more likely give a ticket for Europa League next season, if Barcelona wins the cup (or in the case where Sevilla finishes 5th and wins the Europa League). Levante has lost in 4/5 last games and has conceded goals in 14/15 last home games. On the other hand Espanyol is unbeaten in the last 5 where they conceded just one goals. Kiko Casillia has the most clean sheets during 2015 in Primera (8) so maybe i'll bet on Both teams to score - NO @ 1.80 MarathonbetLevante vs Espanyol – Win for Levante @ 2.93 Marathonbet Levante has a high need for the three points, as they are into the relegation zone, having the same points with La Coruna and Almeria. The hosts count four losses at their last five league games, meanwhile Espanyol comes from two straight wins and is undefeated at the last five games (2-3-0). History of this duel is in favor of Levante, as they won all the last four home games against Espanyol. I think that they can win also tonight. -
Re: Bundesliga > April 17th - 19th Eintracht Frankfurt - Borussia M'gladbach Borussia has the best shape in Germany during the last month with 4/4 wins that made them all look like it was an easy job and with the most recent being the 3-1 win against Dortmund where they were strangling their opponents from the first minute to the last. On the other hand Eintracht looks a bit lost lately, they haven't won in the last 3 and the way they confronted Bayern in the last game does not honor them as they seemed they never believed they could win the game and lost hands down. Today they'll be missing their top-scorer Meier (26caps/19goals) and that makes their mission even more difficult. I see the odds for Borussia have start dropping so I'm putting my bet as soon as possible! Borussia to win @ 1.96 Marathonbet

Re: FC Porto v FC Bayern München > Wednesday April 15th Both teams have absences but Bayern has many alternative solutions in their bench and I think that they will cause trouble in Porto's defense that are used in playing with lower quality teams in Portugal. I'm expecting Lewandowski to shine in this game as he is in excellent shape lately and has a tradition of scoring in knock-out stages of Champions League (anytime scorer @ 2.20 Marathonbet). Porto is a team that plays offensive and that's a philosophy of the club and not a tactic so I don't think they'll change something today. Two teams that score easily and will also miss players that help their defense today, so my bet is Over 2.5 @ 2.40 Marathonbet *and a small stake on Lewandowski to score!!!

Re: Atlético de Madrid v Real Madrid > Tuesday April 14th Real Madrid has no other option of qualifying to the semi-finals because a failure here will mean they have to do major changes to the club next year ( players + coach ) and that's something they don't want to do as they have start building a team that can last for years but they will have to under the pressure of the fans if they disqualify from Atletico. So today they have to do the first step - and that's not losing.They are improved lately and Atletico has start losing their shape, but they are still nervous when playing against them.

Re: Liga de Fútbol Profesional > April 11th - 13th Malaga - Atletico Once again i'm thinking of putting the same bet that pays off which is Atletico to win + Under 2.5. Atletico last time that conceded a goal was over a month ago against Valencia and since then they have kept a clean sheet for 5 consecutive games in all competitions ( they won 4 of them and all games were under 2.5). They are in a good period and are getting ready for the big game against Real Madrid. Malaga is clearly in bad shape lately and I don't think they can stop Atletico ( since 2009/10 Malaga hasn't even scored against Atletico in Rosaleda). Last round they managed to lose from Eibar and they reached 3 games without a win and where they have scored just one goal. Worth taking the risk once again on this bet concidering these facts. Atletico to win + total Under 2.5 @ 4.20 Marathonbet

Re: Ligue 1 Orange > April 7th - 12th Caen - Monaco Caen had a very good run of 6 wins and a draw, then stayed without a win for 3 games (2 losses one draw), but after they returned from the break for the international games they won Nantes 1-2, in a game where they stayed behind in the score played very well scored twice had two more shots in the bar and managed to get away with the win. 6 out of 7 latest games are Over 2.5 and goal/goal. Generally they are a team that always try to play their offensive game regardless who the oppenent is. Monaco will give their third game within a week and in the back of their head is certainly the game in Torino this Tuesday. After the 0-0 against Monpellie misweek they lost their chance to catch Marseille in the 3rd place and if they lose any more points today they might even lose the 4th place by St. Etienne. So whether they are tired or not they have to give all they have in this game. Over 2.5 @ 2.35 Marathonbet

Re: DFB Pokal > April 7th & 8th Odds on Leverkusen are extremely high. I;m going to play against Bayern. Roben, Ribery, Alaba and now Schweinsteiger are out. At Saturday they had really hard time beating Dortmund and the help of the referee and now they travelled with a 16 man squad instead of 18 to Leverkusen which is one of the teams in Germany with the best shape lately. In the last 9 they have 7 wins and lost only to Atletico plus their are very strong home team. Worth backing them Bayer Leverkusen or Draw @ 1.90 Marathonbet

Re: Liga de Fútbol Profesional > April 7th - 9th No i don't think I'll play against Atletico. Yes Madzukic might be abscent but Sociedad will be missing I.Martinez and Ansotegi their 2 main stoppers and the substitutes haven't been used in a long time. In fact i'm going for either Atletico to win to nil (@ 1.85 Marathonbet) or Atletico to win + Under 2.5 goals (@ 3.96 Marathonbet). The Madrid side is almost impossible to concede a goal. In the last 6 games they have conceded just one and none in the last 4. Plus they are very strong at home. This season they have played 24 games in "Calderon" for all competitions , won 19 and lost just 2, while Sociedad has just one away win so far.

Re: Liga de Fútbol Profesional > April 3rd - 6th Eibar - Rayo Vallecano Things are tricky in this one as someone might thing that the two teams follow completely different roads during the last couple of months. Rayo has 4 wins in the last 6 games and lost in two grounds that are difficult for any team - "Camp nou" and "San Mames". Eibar on the other hand while it was really positive in the first half of the season, in their last 10 games they have gathered only 2 points and have scored 3 times. But the way I see things 1) Eibar has to recover at some point if they want not to relagate and the break for the international games might prove good for them, 2) Rayo succeeded 2 important wins in the last two games but they don't show the same energy when playing at "Vallecas" and when playing away.They have lost the last 4 away games, 3) Rayo has 3 important missing tonight Amaya (DF 13/0, Trashorras (MF 24/1) and Baptistao (SC 23/7). I don't expect miracles to have happened in the side of Eibar in 2 weeks but i'm sure they'll give all they have for this one. Draw @ 3.30 Marathonbet

Re: UEFA Euro 2016 Qualifiers > Friday March 27th Liechtenstein - Austria Austria doesn't only has the quality to win but they must to cause they need to keep the 4 points distance from Sweden. Few people have a doubt about the away win in this one. Liechtenstein actually plays a 7-3-0 system with no one in the attack. Most games today are for betting high stakes in small odds. I find this the best case if you want to bet 10 and win 5. Austria to win to nil @ 1.50 Marathonbet

Re: UEFA Euro 2016 Qualifiers > Friday March 27th Spain - Ukraine I don't find Ukraine so negligible to give these odds to Spain. They too fight for one of the 2 first places and are doing fine so far. It's still a long way until the qualification round ends and I don't find reason for Ukrainians to risk in Spain and play open game. In the last 5 games they have only conceded one goal and if they escape tonight with a positive result it's going to be very good for them. i think their first concern will be to keep a clean sheet. Under 2.5 @ 2.18 Marathonbet

Re: 2.Bundesliga & 3.Liga > March 20th - 23rd Nurnberg - Bochum Bochum in the last 7 games has 6 over 2.5 and 5 over 3.5. It's the way they play that have allowed 11 different players to score so far but they also concede easily as they play open game. Nurnberg after the last loss from Kaiserslautern that came way to easily, had to say goodbye to any dreams they had about promotion and they have already started planning the next year. I don't know how they are gonna react to the remaining games but to cover 11 points(from the 3rd place) in 10 games seems kinda difficult to me. I think the easy bet in this case is over 2.5 at about 1.70 but Bochum's coach has bad memories from this stadium as last year he was at Nurmberg's bench for about 6 months untill he was sacked. Maybe now he wants to gain a happy memory from this stadium! Bochum @ 3.70 Marathonbet

Re: Liga de Fútbol Profesional > March 20th - 22nd Rayo Vallecano - Malaga Rayo is a team that creates many chances in their opponents' posts and in the last game against Granada won 3-1 although they were losing 0-1. They score often and their last 3 games were Over. Malaga is a quality team that can follow the tempo of Rayo. Both teams play without any worries about the table position so the game will be probably open and we are gonna see chances from both sides. BTTS & Over 2.5 goals @ 2.00 Marathonbet

Re: Liga de Fútbol Profesional > March 20th - 22nd Elche - Valencia Valencia took advantage of the bad results of Atletico and is now on the 3rd place and they want to remain there at any cost beacause a win today will bring them 5 points from the top and the two first teams play against each other at Sunday so whatever happens is in favor of Valencia. The bad news for Valencia is that a local derby is always dangerous and more than 30.000 fans of Elche are expected in the stadium. Also it's a period that Elche makes very good appearances and they are always dangerous at home. Elche is not going to be passive as they too want to win in order to get as far as possible fro the relagation zone. I expect them to create chances and be offensive. Over 2.5 @ 2.28 Marathonbet

Re: AS Monaco v Arsenal > Tuesday March 17th Most of the game analysis for the first leg said that Monaco will play carefully in the Emirates based on their solid defense and will try not to concede any goals in order to take the qualification in the 2nd game in France. And Monaco played very clever, proved us all wrong and scored 3 times in England. Now once again everyone is predicting that Monaco will wait for Arsenal to attack as they qualify even with a 0-2 loss. I don't see why not having a repeat of the first game and since Arsenal is hunting 3 goals the whole team will be pressing very high and leave empty spaces for Monaco to hit in the counter attack. Monaco AH 0 @ 2.58 Marathonbet

Re: Liga de Fútbol Profesional > March 13th - 16th Rayo Vallecano - Granada Rayo is a team capable for the best and the worst. They have their problems in the defense but i'm not sure if Granada is the team that can take advantage of them. Granada surely wants these 3points badly and they have the momentum after the great win agaisnt Malaga last week but this time they play away and most recently teams like Levante and Villarreal didn't manage to take something positive in "Vallecas". The quality of the two teams and the ranking importance of this game makes me beleive we won't see many goals Under 2.5 @ 1.94 Marathonbet

Re: Real Madrid v FC Schalke 04 > Tuesday March 10th Real Madrid easily or not is going to qualify to the next round. The thing is to give a convincing performance in front of the pretentious audience of Santiago Bernabeu. The fans are dissapointed by the latest games and now that the team is 2nd in Primera they want them to play again as the champions of Europe. Of course all the above doesn't change the fact that Real Madrid is through a bad period and Schalke is not the team that will travel to Madrid just to lose. They are going to fight it to the end. I'm expecting goals on both sides. BTTS + Total Over 2.5 @ 2.12 Marathonbet

Re: Ligue 1 Orange > March 6th - 8th Bastia - Nice Great rivalry between the two teams and in the first round some fans of Nice entered the court after the end of the game. The two teams are just 1 point apart so the game is also interesating as it concerns the ranking. Bastia had a very good run of 9 games unbeaten that stopped last week against Lorient. Still unbeaten in their home for the last 5 games(8 including all competitions). Nice hasn't won in the last 5 games and are clearly out of shape. In the last game they scored first at 41' but managed to lose from Monpellie 2-1 Bastia to win @ 2.40 Marathonbet

Re: Copa Del Rey > Wednesday March 4th Villarreal - Barcelona Villarreal needs at least 2 goals to qualify, Barcelona has either way one of the best attacks of all the European clubs so it's no wonder Over 2.5 pays at odds lower than 1.50. Villarreal has shown through the season that they have quality and also took a very important point- for their mentality- against Real Madrid in Bernabeu 3 days ago and since Barcelona can go to the final even if they lose, i don't find a reason not to put a small bet on HW especially on those odds Villarreal to win @ 5.80 Marathonbet

Re: Liga de Fútbol Profesional > February 27th - March 2nd Villarreal has the second leg of Copa del Rey midweek against Barcelona and the week after the first leg of the round of "16" in Europa League against Sevilla. bruno is still injured and Cheryshev doesn't have the right to play. The only regulars expectesd to start are the goalkeeper Asenjo, Gaspar and Costa in the defense and maybe Trigueros. Real Madrid last week played very good against Elche and generally they seem to get back in shape. Silva makes very positive appearances. What Real Madrid wants is to go to "El Clasico" 3weeks from now with the 4 points distance they have now, so winning is the only option today. Real Madrid (-1.5, -2 AH) @ 1.87 Marathonbet

Re: Bayer 04 Leverkusen v Atlético de Madrid > Wednesday February 25th With all this talk about the winner I'm also concerned if Atletico can make it in Germany, although I believe they'll get the ticket to the quarter-finals after they play both legs. But what I fancy for betting in this game is both teams to score. Leverkusen has scored in 9 out of 10 last games while Atletico has a very quality attacking line. I love Griezmann and how he participates in almost every goal of his team! Both teams to score @ 1.89 Marathonbet

Re: Liga de Fútbol Profesional > February 20th - 23rd Getafe - Espanyol Firts game of this round today and Espanyol-which is in very good shape through 2015- will be missing their captain and best player Sergio Garcia-something that will cost them in the attacking part. Also important missings those of V. Sanchez(MF) and Colotto (DF). Getafe played well against Valencia in "Mestaya" and almost got the point when Sarabia missed in an empty goalpost at the last minute. They have 5 losses in the last 7 games but they are improved in their home lately. Since the arrival of Q. Flores in the bench Getafe has only wins and losses-not even 1 draw- and maybe tonight against Espanyol that will be missing one important player in each line it's time for Getafe to do that as well.

Re: UEFA Europa League > Thursday February 19th Dnipro - Olympikos Olympiakos comes from Champions League where it was in a group with teams like Atletiko and Juve which won both of them in its home but since it didn't manage to take any points in away games finished 3rd and now plays in the "32" of Europa League. It's a team that plays very well in the attack and since they changed coach have improved also in the defense. Dnipro comes from a long pause since from early December they have only played friendly games and because of the situation in Ukraine today they'll be playing in a town 475 km away from their home. Olympiakos can make its first away win this season in Europe but because of the weather conditions that Greeks are not used to the game might not be so strong. ?Olympiakos (AH 0) @ 1.81 Marathonbet

Re: Ligue 2 > April 17th - 20th Le Havre - Brest Brest is without a win for 4 rounds now- something that happens for the first time this season- and that resulted in losing a place among the first 3 which lead to ligue 1. They know they must do somethig and do it fast. They can't lose any more points. I was thinking on betting 2 DNB just in case, but considering the very bad appearance LeHavre had last round (they won with an own goal) and that the league's firrst scorer Le Bihan will be mising today i'll risk betting on away win.
