Been a while since I posts an analysed pick here. Finally have some free time to do what I love doing. Hopefully the result is a positive one
| Sport | Football (Spain) |
| Event | RCD Espanyol vs Atletico De Madrid |
| Selection | RCD Espanyol +0.5 (Asian Handicap) |
| Strength | 8/10 |
| Date | 08/05/2008 |
| Bookmaker/Price | Betdaq @ 1.86 (Back) |
| Reasoning | Espanyol will be without Tamudo, Hurtado and most importantly De La Pena today. Their attack will be weakened. However, Espanyol is by no mean pushover and they are still fighting for the Intertoto Cup. A win would certainly brighten up their chances to Europe next season.
On the other hand, Atletico have problems of their own kind missing Reyes, Simao and possibly their captain Maxi today. While Atletico is fighting hard for CL spot.
This clash is quite important to some extend, especially for Atletico.
However, I have the feeling Espanyol would get a point or three tonight. Atletico, hasn't been the best traveller of late. The host hasn't win at their own turf for quite sometime. Moreover,I think they will came out very open and motivated today to win this game for the fans and the desire to play in Europe will still be there. |
