La Liga’s final offers a phenomenon: Atletico Madrid scoring lots of goals.
Remember when Diego Simeone’s team won 1-0 and everyone was aghast at the effectiveness of the unspectacular play? Forget that era.
The Griezmann factor
Now, with Simeone’s bags packed and nothing to lose, something is happening with Atletico: they are scoring a lot of goals. The master of ceremonies is Griezmann, the former 2018 world champion, runner-up in 2022, who has rediscovered at Atletico the form he lost at Barcelona.
Atletico are playing uninhibitedly, they’ve passed Real Madrid in the La Liga standings and, if the season lasted two more months, they’d also pass Xavi’s Barca, who are like a ship that keeps taking on water and the coach doesn’t know where, or why.
The ability to notice changes immediately
Barcelona is a team that will be champions after a pragmatic game. Barcelona became yesterday’s Atletico Madrid, with Lewa responsible for the decisive goal. At the same time, although the championship is being watched, the detail escapes. Few have noticed that Barcelona have become a team that specializes in narrow victories, whereas towards the end of the season, Atletico have gone wild. But professional punters see these things.
Winning when betting depends on well-crafted calculations by artificial intelligence, the inspiration of each punter and above all the ability to spot trends – to always be present, to be up to date. Atletico Madrid is not Atletico Madrid of three months ago, let alone three years ago. So is the case with FC Barcelona.
And we’ll tell you about another team that will be back in the Champions League after ten years: Real Sociedad. Real Sociedad are so strong this year that anyone who bets wisely on them can make good money.
The relegation battle and the best of all possible worlds
But La Liga isn’t just spectacular at the top, it’s also spectacular at the bottom. Almeria, Cadiz, Real Valladolid, Valencia, Getafe, Espanyol are all hoping to escape from relegation. The teams currently in the relegation places – Getafe and Espanyol – have the smallest chances at this moment.
As always when betting, the focus should be on the place in the standings, the possible permutations in the standings, the form of the moment, which role the history plays, the rivalry between the combatants and unavailable players.
It’s not that complicated, especially with artificial intelligence on our side. Punters of 2023 may even be living in the best of all possible worlds.
