Reasoning	Few edges for this bet. 1st lets go statistical. Of all last matches these two have played in Valladolid, not one crossed this line. Totals were 55, 54, 50 and 48; but they did hit a high scorer in first game this season which ended eventually with 32-32 draw - it seems that the teams always go over when the match is played on Alteas carpet. 2nd edge is European participation of Valladolid, who just played their first match vs. Flensburg-Handewitt and are waiting for the return leg which will be played on coming weekend, so probably coach will be resting some star players and keeping the tempo low. 3rd edge are the injuries of Klev, who injured himself in a match vs. Bidasoa and long term injured Hansen for Altea.

Event	Cai Aragon v Arrate
Selection	Arrate +4

Reasoning	Aragon, one of the major upsets in Spanish Asobal league, as they just debuted last year in Spanish top-flight handball and immediatelly took the place that granted them qulification for European compettion in which they are doing extremely well - they are in 1/2 finals of EHF cup, playing vs Skjern Håndbold, will be fighting vs. another European place candidate - Arrate. Teams are placed 5th and 6th on the table and 5 points separate them. Well imo, home team should take all the points on wednesday, but again the form of the Arrate is the one that makes the handicap spread quite interesting. Also with te coming return leg for Aragon, they could be a little of focus for the league game, and more into thinking how to overcome 4 goal deficit vs. Skjern. As said, Arrate pretty good in recent weeks, with wins over Granollers, Algeciras and Cantabria away. Also their previous matches suggest that Arrate can cope with the home team, as they won their first game in league this season with 34-25. So the European game in front of Aragon and the fact that the coming game will be thier third in matter of one week - along with travelling - stamina should show, and put an edge on Arrates side. There is no news about any missings in both teams, so they should be in full squads, but still think that the 4 goals spread could be covered by guests. btw: lads the only book who have that spread, 365 and expekt on +3.5 with lower odds
