Personally i think people read too much into those 2 last games of Barca.
Barca could/should have won 4-1 last week against Chelsea.

Everybody expected them to rip Chelsea apart and they did. Just missed the many chances they had.

And well, losing against Real can happen.

I will be taking Barca on with what they need, -1 handicap or -2 AH. Not sure yet.

What's the craic with the Osasuna game? Any background?

Outside the big two I pretty much rank Osasuna as the toughest place to go in La Liga, their home rank is officially 5th in the league, unbeaten in the last 5 at home winning 3. Actually only lost 3 at home all season so far including victories there over Barcelona in february (3-2) The losses came to Real Madrid, Athletico Madrid, early in the season and Santandar around Christmas I think.

They have beaten the likes of Barca, Bilbao, Levante, Villarreal and gotten good draws against Valencia and Sevilla

They drew the reverse fixture in Malaga 1-1 having led and been pulled back.

Malaga have taken 4 points from their last 4 games, win against Santandar, draw against Real Sociedad and losses to Villarreal and Betis.

Their away form is ranked 11th overall in the league.

Their last 5 away games has seen them score 2 goals, concede 7 and take 4 points on the road. (Their last 10 away games they have lost 5 including losses to Granada, Sporting Gijon and Sociedad)

On their travels the pick up 0.94 pts a game. The last 5 have resulted in 0.80 ppg.

The odds on Osasuna double chance, draw no bet etc and an outright win are very good going off the stats imo and I am all over it!

Vaz te to score and westham to win, 7/2

Bykobap · 23-04-2012 4:23pm

Barcelona v Real Madrid final

6/4 PP e50

Keano! · 23-04-2012 5:21pm

Backing West Ham tonight.... can't see them not winning it. Promotion so close for them

Hamadeusentman · 23-04-2012 5:53pm

On Vaz Te anytime scorer and Osasuna v Málaga both to score double.
€5 returns €20

martineatworld · 23-04-2012 5:55pm

Molde Vs Lillestrom
Hacken Vs IFK Goteburg Over 2.5

The double @ 2.7

Shane St. · 23-04-2012 6:18pm

I'll follow ye on Osasuna and West Ham double

ForeverYoung90 · 23-04-2012 6:18pm

Barcalone v Chelsea
Correct score 0-0 25/1
Im very tempted by this but can Chelsea really hold out through a 90min onslaught?

Very tempted to go for that one but I've been stung by Malaga too much this season.

Just upped the anti on West Ham

I really don't think they can. Look how many chances Barca created in the 1st leg. Plus the pitch is much wider. Easier to break down harder to defend against

tinodz · 23-04-2012 7:13pm

If I was to back 0-0 it would be a tiny bet. Like €2 in the hope of winning €50, and then be happy a miracle happened. There is no way I would be confident with a significant stake on it.

Hamadeusentman · 23-04-2012 7:21pm

I really can't see Chelsea getting anything. I expect a fierce Barca backlash from two recent defeats. As a journalist was saying during the week, Chelsea were commended for their tactics in London but was it good tactics for Barca to hit the post twice and have 12 chances...? I reckon Barca will pummel them (and this time score!)

They already did in 2009 so why not?

shocksy · 23-04-2012 7:43pm

€10 on the Powerplay

Vaz Te to score and West Ham to win @ 7/2

Much better team in 2009. We'll see sure.

manual_man · 23-04-2012 8:26pm

gah. was going to take the Beckford wincast at 5's except paddy (or my bank) wouldn't let me deposit to my account

nuts

Radonman · 23-04-2012 8:40pm

Thanks for all the replys folks, plenty of food for thought but decided to lump on anyways - as Shane said Diff teams than 2009 (Chelsea were at there peak and Messi's stats are now off the grid), also read a very good preview on the game

So thanks again to everyone who replied

tinodz · 23-04-2012 8:55pm

Decide to combine two tips posted here in an accumulator:

Osasuna @ 15/8
Win-Draw-Win
Osasuna v Malaga

West Ham @ 11/10
Win-Draw-Win
Leicester v West Ham

Over 2.5 Goals @ 11/10
Over/Under 2.5 Goals
BK Hacken v IFK Gothenborg

Molde @ 5/6
Win-Draw-Win
Molde v Lillestrom

Currently 2 outta 4, with the second half to play in top two

€116.20 return on €5 if the next 45 minutes are good.

nuts. he went off injured h/t. hate when that happens

sboyle01 · 23-04-2012 9:14pm

Tomorrow - Gateshead v Luton
Gateshead won last 4 at home with no goals conceded and Luton have not won in 7 away.
Gateshead double chance 8/11

Barcelona should beat Chelsea comfortably
Barca -1

Well they did it, wasted an incredible amount of chances, should have won by about 4 really. But it was nail-biting right up to the final whistle.

Not revealing how much I put on it, but I got them at 2.29 and lets just say I've funded my holiday this Summer. :cool::D I was that confident, but still nearly got my arse biten!

MikeyGorse · 23-04-2012 10:48pm

Lumped on a double of Barcelona 3 or more goals (evens) & Real Madrid 2 or more goals (4/9).
