How will Venue Affect UEFA Europa League Final Match?
Liverpool beat Villareal to make it to the finals of the UEFA Europa League on May 18th, when they will not only face another Spanish team, but also the defending champion and most successful team ever in this tournament. Teams from Spain are heavy soccer betting favorites, due to the successes of Real Madrid – in spite of practically playing without a goalkeeper – and that other team from the capital. However, if you want proof that the Europa League is the Marty Jannetty to the Champions League’s Shawn Michaels, all you have to do is take a look at the venue chosen for the final match – if you can find it, that is (it is that small).
Real vs. Atlético: Madrid ain’t Big Enough for the Two
Madrid – the capital of Spain – is not big enough for two soccer teams bearing its name. Which is definitely not why the UEFA Champions League Finals will be held at San Siro stadium in Milan – in fact, there was a draw to determine the field, like, long-before the finalists were even known. As predicted, Real Madrid beat yet another English team on their way to their 11th European Cup – this is time it was Manchester City’s turn; after all, Noel Gallagher’s support can only carry you so far. Did they steamrolled them? No. Did they whip them six ways till Sunday? No. Did they blow them to Kingdom Come? Nope. It was a measly aggregate score of 1-0. But winning is winning, whether by an inch or a mile.
Leicester City: Flash in the pan or are they here to stay?
Soccer betting experts, sports journalists, fans, players, all have been shocked by Leicester City’s unforeseen climb to the top of the English Premier League. But professional sports are all about “what have you done for me lately?” So the questions is whether the Foxes have what it takes to hang with the local elite – your Manchester Uniteds, your Chelseas, your Arsenals, your Liverpools – and even, why not, with the cream of the European crop – Real Madrid, Bayern Munich, Real Madrid, Juventus, Real Madrid. The key seems to keeping the team’s core together.
Real Madrid vs. Manchester City Champions League Game 2
People betting on soccer – or more specifically, people betting on Manchester City – are crossing their collective fingers, hoping that Real Madrid star Cristiano Ronaldo – and I use the term star loosely – will not recover from his injury in time for the second leg of the UEFA Champions League semifinal.
Early Preview the Second Leg Games of the UCL
The first week of the Champions League Semi finals went by, and left fans betting on soccer a bit underwhelmed on how the action turned out. One goalless draw and a tight 1-0, left both matchups wide open for any of the teams in competition. Right after the series passed all four clubs must return to their domestic leagues and get ready for what will be a very (in)tense week of soccer.
Bayern Munich and Atlético Madrid get ready to “Fight”
Bayern Munich and Atlético Madrid are bracing up for the UEFA Champions League Semifinal in a match that is expected to be a knockout, drag-out fight for prevalence. Soccer betting odds-makers are favoring the German team, but midfielder Mario Goetze acknowledges that “we will have to fight for every centimetre and need to be switched on from the very first minute. We’ll have to play cleverly and need to put in our best performance.”
Real Madrid vs. Manchester City Betting Odds
Real Madrid’s soccer betting odds of making it through the UEFA Champions League semi-finals and winning their 11th Cup are better than ever since the other Madrilenian team did Real’s dirty work and eliminated their archrivals Barcelona. Now that the threat of Messi has been vanquished, nothing keeps the Blancos from asserting their dominance – except themselves. And Manchester City too, of course, and whoever wins the other semi-final (coughBayern Munichcough). But City is an English team, and Real Madrid is undefeated in eight games against English opposition in the Champions League, so you do the math – really, you do it, because I’m not very good at it.
La Liga Coming to Heart Stopping End
With the Spanish league coming down to the final stretch the title race all of the sudden caught fire, much to the delight of soccer bet fans. Not long ago when we were anticipating El Clásico, we predicted a win from Barcelona and thus cementing the bid for the Spanish League Championship.
