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. And slowly, goal by goal, Barcelona began to peg it back. So while Atletico did, of course, knock out Barcelona...
They didn't really gain much of a psychological edge because they were 4-0 up and they were clinging on at the end of that game. I think this will be a game that delivers goals tonight. I've landed on over three. I only lose this play if there are two goals or less. I push on three and I win if there are four goals here in this game. And I think there could be four goals in this game, given the fact that The over three and a half goals has landed in seven of Atletico Madrid's last 10 in all competitions. Barcelona going forward, they have found the net 78 times in 29 league games so far. They only play one way. They don't get sucked into type and cagey games. And if they do, they usually have enough quality to find a net and win it.
But I don't see this one being one of those games for the last six head to heads between these two produce four goals or more. As I said, seven of Atletico Madrid's last 10 games have gone over three and a half goals. I expect Barcelona to find a way to leave the wonder with three points, given the fact they are a machine at the moment.
