Where Can I Watch?
Why Bet on Barcelona?
Barcelona’s season has not been as expected. For now, the idea of repeating the LaLiga title seems distant because it has not had the consistency necessary to stay on top.
In the last presentation, Xavi Hernandez’s team drew 1-1 in their visit to Rayo Vallecano, saving a point with an own goal. The big problem for the Catalans is the generation of play, as they are not getting an impact from the players in that position.
Joao Felix, Raphinha, and Ferran Torres have not responded as expected, so everything depends on a young Lamine Yamal, a veteran Ilkay Gündogan, and a player like Pedri, who has been recovering from two years of injuries. The one who suffers the most from this is Robert Lewandowski, who is running out of chances to score.
So far, the ‘Blaugranas’ have only lost one game, against Real Madrid, but have drawn four times. At home, the Catalan side has taken 18 points out of 21, scoring 15 goals and conceding five.
Xavi has injured important players: Marc-André Ter Stegen, Sergi Roberto, and Gavi, who will not play again this season.
Why Bet on Atlético Madrid?
Atlético Madrid has the objective of fighting again for LaLiga, and for now, it seems that the mission can be accomplished for the team led by Diego ‘El Cholo’ Simeone, as they are third with 31 points, four behind Real Madrid and Girona.
In their last presentation, they beat Mallorca 1-0 at the Wanda Metropolitano, thanks to a goal by Antoine Griezmann. The ‘Colchonero’ is the best home team in the championship, winning in its seven matches.
Aleti has a game pending against Sevilla, which, if they win it, would be one unit away from the leadership. In addition, it is worth mentioning that the offensive power has been present in the team since Álvaro Morata has seven goals and the Frenchman Griezmann has nine, confirming himself as one of the best of the tournament.
Another important aspect is that Simeone’s team is the second-best defense in LaLiga, with 12 goals conceded.
But Atlético’s problem is when they leave the Wanda Metropolitano, as they have won 10 of 18 points. That irregularity has cost them their place at the top of Iberian soccer.
The capital team has two injured players, Thomas Lemar and Vitolo, who will not return for a long time.
