This round was a nightmare for bettors, especially for those who not only bet on the victory of Real Madrid and Girona, but added these outcomes to multi-bets in order to increase the final odds.
As for the results of the round, it again turned out to be in favor of Real: the distance from the pursuers did not change, but there was one less game until the end of the tournament. Although it seems that nothing has changed after this round, in fact Real Madrid have increased their lead.
The results of the Spanish La Liga games involving the top three teams in the league over the weekend was absolutely not what majority of people has earlier predicted and that I think will make many who staked their bets in those games to lose their money. In the Real Madrid game at Valencia on Saturday, many people including bookmakers were backing the league leaders to win that particular game but surprisingly, is ended in a draw. Girona was also expected by many to either win against Mallorca or at least get a draw but they failed to even get a goal in that game and lost with a 1:0 scoreline. Barcelona also failed to find the back of the best against Athletic Bilbao yesterday as well. Football is one game that can give you the most unexpected results sometimes and that's one of the beauties of the round leather game As for the results of the round, it again turned out to be in favor of Real: the distance from the pursuers did not change, but there was one less game until the end of the tournament. Although it seems that nothing has changed after this round, in fact Real Madrid have increased their lead.
In the Athletic - Barcelona game, I expected Athletic to win. I was aware of the risks, but a draw, and without goals, was a surprise. The Mallorca - Girona game was a more unexpected surprise. Girona failed to score a single goal, despite the fact that they are now leaders in La Liga in terms of goals scored. Just an anomalous result.
In general, we must not forget that we have now entered a phase where the teams have “come to terms” with their position, so there will be more unexpected results. For example, Real is the champion, this is already clear. Girona, Atletico, Barcelona in the top 4 and the rest are no longer important for these clubs. Now we need to very carefully choose those games where the clubs will have real motivation.
The game between Athletic Club and Barcelona was a nightmare for Xavi and his players because while they needed to win this match and have a better situation but they couldn't and the game ended with a 0-0 result and regardless of the result in this match, Barcelona lost their player Pedri.
However, for Pedri, nothing was going well and he had problems during this season and he was usually out of his good form.
Now it seems after the game against Athletic Club, Pedri and De Jong are both injured and Pedri is going to be absent for six weeks.
That means Pedri lost the season.
