MidWeek 7.5 Roundup (25/09/08)

Well a very small loss on the day. Real Madrid gave Gijón a right spanking winning 7-1 and maybe there would have been better bets based around them scoring a lot of goals. Gijón have lost to them, Barça and Sevilla in consecutive games leaking 17 goals but have managed to score in every game which at least gives them hope. They host Villareal on Saturday and unsurprisingly Villareal have been cut from evens to a best priced 1.73 for that game. Atletico Madrid won impressively against Getafe and a shame I didn’t take that bet on but both they and Villareal look very good prospects for the league. Barcelona won 3-2 after surrendering a 2 goal lead against Betis and look a bit suspect.

Espanyol let us down losing 2-0 to Sevilla. Last season Sevilla played some fantastic football and the first half against Zaragoza when they went ahead 5-0 was possibly one of the best performances I have ever seen. This season they don’t look too hot but did the business last night. If I had known Tamudo wasn’t playing I might have been less keen on the bet but Eurosport never mentioned that. I will look for better sources of news.

10 bets (9 points staked) :: 3 win – 1 void – 6 losses :: -2.05

Back with the weekend selections tomorrow.
