Chapter 1: What challenges does the host face while recording this episode?
This is the European show. Let's make that fucking money. Thank you. Time to bring on your goat. You are listening to what has been a challenging to do European show here exclusively for the Patreons and subscribers of lotbetting and lotbetting.com.
Challenging because we have Champions League and Europa League ahead and I really want to limit my involvement with those types of sides who are looking ahead. So it has been more difficult to do. Don't really like the games and situations. Nothing really stands out. Nothing too much stands out. So I've got down to the minimum number of games that we do on this show.
I've got four games to talk about. I almost didn't do this show and just did another condensed version of a super European show because it was also difficult to do the Bundesliga show and Serie A for pretty much the same reasons. But I decided to separate those shows and I'm here away in Thailand. I have nothing but time. I'm just relaxing. I'm actually busier when I'm in the UK.
I'm far busier when I travel to the US when you have things to do with your kid like
theme parks and whatnot so I am just sitting around sitting around by a pool going to beaches and whatnot so there is absolutely no excuse to condense the content other than the fact that these games are being are very difficult to handicap so it is somewhat forced even getting to four but it would have been even worse had there been five six or seven European games on this slate and
One of them just gets on automatically because of the significance of it. Talking about Atletico Madrid versus Barcelona. Obviously, this has big implications at the top of the table. Atletico trying to make sure they get back in the Champions League. Barcelona trying to win the league and stay ahead of Real Madrid.
And Real Madrid, of course, wanting a favour from their Madrid rivals here in Atletico. These two teams play again in the Champions League in midweek. So three of their next four games are going to be against each other. So that's an insane situation and it all begins on Saturday night at the Wanda with Barca travelling to the Wanda to face Atletico where they are.
The 65 favourites to win the game. It's 3-1 on the draw and it's 2-1 here on Atletico Madrid. I feel that this will be the game that delivers goals. I think the Champions League matches may be a little bit more cagey. But here I see these two teams having a little bit of a shootout ahead of the Champions League clashes up ahead. Of course, these two played in the Copa del Rey.
And Atletico Madrid went through 4-3 on aggregate, winning the first leg 4-0. And then Barcelona had to come back and they got it back to 3-0. So they got it back to 4-3 by winning 3-0, but they could not get that fourth goal. A little bit concerning if you're an Atletico Madrid supporter, how Atletico Madrid approached that second leg. Their idea was just to sit in on that 4-0 lead.

Chapter 2: What insights are shared about the Atletico Madrid vs Barcelona match?
It's built above the ground. So it's an elevated stadium. A lot of people are just day trippers. They're just there for something to do, something to socialize before they actually go out. There is sometimes not a lot of focus on the games and therefore it creates a strange atmosphere at times that Monaco players are used to playing in front of. And Monaco,
That gives them a weird kind of home edge when you're playing at elevation and then also you're playing in front of supporters who aren't really supporters of you particularly, but are just looking for something to do. Obviously, we know Monaco is a place that's just flooded with money. We have things there like the Monaco Grand Prix, etc. So, yeah, it's a weird one.
But Monaco managed to make it work for them. And I think they'll make it work for them again against a Marseille team who travel poorly. Just give me Monaco here on the money line to pick up another win. And it's a plus money at 65 plus 120 here for this one. That is it for me and this quicker than usual edition of the European show. Good luck with all your bets as always.
And thanks for listening.
