Spanish La Liga
2008-05-08 - RCD Espanyol vs Atletico Madrid
A Sports Betting Pick by Cruiser
Analysis:Atletico Madrid enters this match chasing a spot in the Champions League as they are currently tied on 38 points with Sevilla but can go above them with a win here and together with it a spot in the Champions League. Espanyol on the other hand have nothing to play for this season as they are guaranteed another season in La Liga having assured of their safety.
Atletico Madrid in their last eight matches have suffered defeats just twice. Even though in their last four away games from home they have won just once, but they have suffered defeat just once as well, as they drew the other two games with Getafe and Real Valladolid both ending in 1-1.
Atletico Madrid are currently unbeaten in their last two games since going down 1-3 at home to Real Betis. In their last match itself at home, they beat Recreativo 3-0, a side that is struggling at the bottom end.
As for Espanyol, they have managed just one win in their last eight games, having already aware that safety is assured and have drawn their last three games, the most notable match was the goalless draw with Barcelona, that being a derby match the passion was high so you can understand their fight in that match. Their last two games both ended with 1-1 draws against the likes of Real Zaragoza at home and Levante away from home.
Take Atletico Madrid here and give the 1/4 ball. They will not get beaten here today. At worst it could end as a draw so be prepared to lose half the stake should that happen.
Cheers and good luck,
