POTD: Real Madrid vs Athletic Bilbao Real madrid -1 -125 2u Last Pick POTD Juventus +0.5 -120u 2u Win✅ Last Side play Juventus +0 +167 ✅
Write up... Well well well, Top 2 La Liga teams, Barcelona & Valencia slowed each other down playing to a Draw Ahem Messi's goal wasn't given . Real Madrd after losing to Girona & Drawing Atletico Madrid in their last two away games, Zidane, Ronaldo and his friends are gunning for these next 3 points and coming for Valencia's spot.
For starters, this Bilbao is not the same Bilbao that was a Mid to top table team for last 4 years. Athletic Bilbao lost their manager, Ernesto Valverde to Barcelona and since then Athletic Bilbao have been lost and off to their worst start in the last couple of years. The new Bilbao manager has lost almost 70% of his games. Bilbao losing their last 9 of 10 games in all competitions. Yikes. I should also mention that one of the best Bilbao's defender Laporte, is suspended for this game, Starting in his place according to the coaches press confrence is a player with no La Liga starts this year. Real Madrid are going to be without Bale, but Sergio Ramos and Navas are back from injury to reinforce the Madrid's defense. Real Madrid has also beaten a much stronger than this year's Bilbao 4 consecutive times. For my stat's people. H2H since 2010. Real Madrid 13W 1D 2L vs Bilbao
Side plays + thoughts below.... Torino +0 -122 2u vs Atalanta
Torino AKA Juventus little bro from the same city know how to hold their own vs teams at home, only losing 0-1 to Roma at home so far this season while Atalanta has zero Road wins this season. Not that H2H matters that much but for my stat geeks, Torino hasnt lost to Atalanta at home since 2011 3W-2D-0L and they are 6W-2D-2L vs Atalanta home+ away since the 2011 campaign. Belotti is healthy again and he is a golazo machine for Torino
Bayer Leverkusen+0 -130 2u vs Dortmund
To put it into simple terms, the Dortmund is currently broken, Dortmund has an impressive 0 wins, 2 draws, 4 losses in their last 6 games, while Bayer Leverkusen is riding a 9 game unbeaten streak.
Finally to yesterdays recap. Such a Juventus performance in getting the win when most needed. Tactically disciplined & high concentration levels all game lol as expected. A performance of 6 consecutive Serie A champions. The game could have gone on for another 90 minutes and Napoli would be stuck and kepp resorting to crossing the ball frequently hoping for the best.
