According to reports, Dani Ceballos had been trying to force his way out of Arsenal this month before backing down when the club stood their ground in the closing days of the winter transfer window. Gunners fans had been excited back in August when the club completed a season-long loan from Real Madrid for the 23-year-old. However, the Spanish international has been hindered by injuries during his time in North London and his latest attempt to get a move away from the club will not have gone down with manager Mikel Arteta. The playmakers technique should be able to earn him a place in … [Read more...]
Sporita Review: The Professional Sports Trader
If you’ve had extensive experience in the sports betting game, then you should know by now that long term profit in this type of endeavor is virtually non-existent. Think about it, you probably know at least a handful of people who bet on sports, right? Now ask yourself how many of these people have actually made money? And when I ask this question I don’t mean, they have won for 5 or 6 bets in a row. We all know by now that these types of winning streaks are usually followed by even longer losing streaks. I know it and you know it. I mean those who are actually profiting consistently … [Read more...]
La Liga trio aiming to progress in the Europa League

Sevilla are amongst the favourites in the outright market to win the Europa League and you can check it out here if you fancy wagering on the outcome.

Gareth Bale Should Be Real Madrid’s Hero – He Chooses to Be a Dispassionate Professional Instead
It is an open secret that the relationship between Welsh midfielder Gareth Bale and Real Madrid is not ideal. The player still counts as an outsider six years after signing with the Madrid club, and his attitude and commitment - or better said the lack of it - have attracted a lot of criticism toward the player. His latest stunt - flying a flag that read "Wales, Golf, Madrid, in that order" after the team's victory over Hungary, added fuel to the fire. The flag can easily be considered an act of open defiance, pointing a finger on the complicated relationship between the player and the … [Read more...]
Spain’s Euro 2020 qualification and a lack of El Clásico stars
The qualifying stages for Euro 2020 are coming to a close, with the final two rounds of games to be played this month. For six nations, their place in next year’s competition is already guaranteed with matches to spare. One of those countries is Spain, who were the latest to qualify following their last-gasp draw against Sweden in October. At this early stage, UEFA Euro 2020 odds favour Robert Moreno’s side. But there is one key talking point – the lack of players representing Barcelona and Real Madrid. The times are changing and gone are the days that the big two dominate … [Read more...]
Ernesto Valverde Running Out of Time at Barcelona
The Catalan giants did little to ease the pressure on manager Ernesto Valverde after being held to a goalless draw by Slavia Prague in another below-par appearance at Camp Nou. Barcelona created a number of chances to break the deadlock but Lionel Messi saw numerous opportunities thwarted by the inspired Slavia goalkeeper Ondrej Kolar. The Camp Nou outfit fired six shots on target in a game which became Lionel Messi’s first Champions League group stage game since 2012 without a goal or an assist. Such an underachievement is another red flag at Camp Nou and the finger-pointing … [Read more...]
3 Games in – How are the promoted teams getting on?
The 2019/20 La Liga season is still in its infancy just three games deep but already there are a few sides that have caught the eye for the right reasons and some for the wrong reasons. Two sides who are surprising many with their poor starts are Real Madrid and Barcelona who both surprisingly find themselves out of the top four. That means there may be some opportunity in the La Liga betting this season to gain some unexpected value – but only if you act quickly. However, those two sides often steal the limelight and with the prize of competing in La Liga so great, how have the … [Read more...]

Will More English Players Follow in Trippier’s Footsteps and Switch to La Liga?
Last summer, Kieran Trippier joined a select group of English players in making the switch to La Liga and signing for Atletico Madrid.

Real Betis First Team: Who are the Key Players to Watch?
The current season for Real Betis, the football team with one of the most storied histories of any sports organization in the world, saw significant changes in terms of lineups, business deals and more. Even though the footballers were well able to navigate the challenges of the group stages of Europe League (UEFA), their tenth-place overall ranking in the tournament was not what the sports team's business owners hoped for. In fact, management took the major step of canning the former coach, replacing him with Rudi Garcia. The expectation is that Garcia has what it takes to turn things … [Read more...]
