Athletico Madrid V Sevilla (Copa Del Rey Final)

Au contaraire on your opinion of Atleticos performance in the final - IMO they did everything right except score a few more goals, Forlan and Aguerro were absolutely outstanding for all 120 minutes ... the question about Atletico for years has been, and will be, defence ... now its hard to compare a teams attacking football talent with that of someone in a totally different league, but I rate Sevilla a hell of a lot more than Fulham going foward, but not in defense ... So I think there is goals, goals, goals in this ... Probably end up something like 4-3 either way.

Havent decided what to bet yet, will wait for team news.

Squirrel, don't get me wrong Athletico played alright in the final against Fulham but imo the goals they converted, luck was defo on their side, were all entitled to our opinions though

. TBH, I thought Madrid would wrap the game up easily in 90 mins but credit to Fulham, they played we'll and stuck at it.

Now in regards to tonights game, I hear that Navarro and Dragutinovic are both injured for Sevilla. No further injuries have been reported that I know of.

Would you consider the DRAW as a good option for the game???

PS, I agree Forlan played VERY well. A small stake on him to score anytime may be worth a punt??

I'm kinda leaning Sevilla to win to be honest, they should surely be buoyed by scraping into the champions league spot in their final game AND its been a fooking long season for Atletico ... they had a horrendous start to the season and had to work hard physically and mentally to move past that. Lets face it aside from a Europa league cup win (in which they outright won TWO games, I must add) Atletico have been pretty much trash all year.

There is something pulling me towards a Sevilla win, maybe 3-2/4-2 something like that.

Defo leaning towards a Sevilla win myself. The bookies can't decide who is the fav with some books offering the same price on both teams.

Unless injuries to Fabiano/Adr happen, my play is Sevilla. Whatever you choose, the best of luck (unless it's the opposite of my play

)

The line is moving slightly in Athleticos favor in literally the last two minutes I wonder what the bookies know that we don't

TheBeautifulGame · 05-19-10, 10:33 AM

Yep, the lines have switched. Sevilla were 7/5 and Madrid 7/4 making Sevilla slight favs. Now the line for Sevilla is 6/4 and Madrid 7/4.

OOPS!! Meant the other way around.

GRRRR, hoping against my play!!!

Seriously, the bookies cannot make their mind up on the fav of this one. (Euro bookies anyway). I'm keeping an eye on the lines on Paddy Power, Ladbrokes, Boylesports, William Hill and Pinnacle.

Pinnacle has remained the same (Sevilla slight favs). However, the 3 Euro books keep switching from Sevilla favs/ Madrid favs to back again!!
