A Sports Betting Pick by Pantocrator
Football: Spanish La Liga.
Saturday, 15th May 2010. Kickoff 20:00
Atletico Madrid
Los Colchoneros are probably still reviewing back the highlights of the memorable Europa League match vs. Fulham. Some of the players lifted their first ever trophy writing a new chapter into club's history along the way.
Quique Sanchez Flores will have to fight euphoria left-overs before the Copa Del Rey final vs. Sevilla due to be played next week. Young specialist insisted he wouldn't be taking any risks on Saturday as his team is not in contention for anything significant on the domestic front.
Fringe of youngsters will be honored to play out Atletico's last home match of this historical 2009/10 season. Honestly speaking, even if Quique decided to field his best guns - no guarantee they would fair better than the reserves.
Looks like goalkeeper Sergio Asenjo is the only unavailable player for Atleti.
Getafe
Getafe should be pleased with Atletico's midweek triumph as it theoretically eases there task at El Madrigal. Capital city outfit needs all 3 points on Saturday evening in order to get the much desired European ticket. Atleti's lack of motivation is certainly a major bonus for the visitors.
Getafe is holding an invisible duel against Villarreal. The Yellow Submarine is jumping head over feet in May trying to beat Getafe to the European zone. Michel's side, though, has been simply outstanding since February in La Liga succumbing only to two defeats in 13 fixtures. They kept steaming forward with an every-day home victory against relegated Malaga.
Visitors have concerns over the fitness of regular defender Rafa and Cata Diaz. However Michel certainly has the right to risk it all in the last match of the season, even some of the slightly injured players.
Betting advice
Although Getafe's pre-match comments have been very cautious, it is nothing but usual diplomacy in action.
No matter how hungry Atletico's reserve players are - team play is what matters in football. The given odds on the market makes this bet the most valuable one from the European week-end.
