I can't understand why Real and Barcelona swapped places? Before the start of the tournament the odds were exactly the opposite in favor of Real. What happened that made the bookmakers change their minds so abruptly?
Could be because of the outcomes of the past two games. But I think there will be more changes with more matches coming by. While Real Madrid has not yet conceded a goal, that comeback Barcelona made in that away a game against Levante showed a promise of the continuation of what they did in the last season. But, in my opinion, I think teams are going to challenge Barcelona more this time round. The Levante match was just a glimpse of what is yet to come.I guessed what the matter was - maybe the fact that the referees helped Barcelona in the first round had a decisive impact on the bookmakers' opinion
The fact that Real conceded zero goals is of little significance compared to a team that can count on help from the referee. I won't say that I believe in this conspiracy theory, but maybe many do and it changes the cash flow of bets, and bookmakers only reflect this.
