This is usually a spot for the Barca reserves to get out and see some action, but NOT today!

Barca plays a very busy January schedule and it looks like they named almost all 1st team players to get a big win today so the return fixture can be a rest date.

MESSI, Villa AND Pedro ALL named up front as strikers.

I don't know if I've EVER said a ML at 1.20 is good value, but Barca will demolish Cordoba today by at least 2 goals and probably 3-4. Over 3.5 for a small play, and I'm going with Barca -1.5 for a LOT, maybe $1.5k.

This will be a blood bath, get it while it's hot off press for lineups!!!

mine is -417 so play it ? or the spread 1 1/2 - 2 ??

[JT OZ]

Good lookin on the info, seems the total would be a logical play now.

[infamousbacardi]

I mean, if you want the easy free money I'd just hammer the ML.

I would NEVER do that at something lke -417, but this is just a gift.

Why did the odds drop once the lineup was announced? Mine went from -2 (-122) to -2 (-108)

[JT OZ]

I don't use sportsbook.ag much for soccer because their lines are usually terrible compared to 5dimes but I just got the O3.5 at +125 when it is -112 on 5dimes. Even if it loses I can take solace in the fact that I got a line over 35 cents better than where it is at a much more reputable book.

Could be because one of only 1st team regulars NOT in the lineup for Barca is Victor Valdes....making it more likely that Cordoba can score 1 goal rather than getting shut out.

Bookmaker has it at -115 currently as well so well done!

[pattymayo]

I noticed that too riff

-2 at -108 looks like a steal, right?

3-0 win or better is more than likely ..?

[hotelis]

took over 1.5 goals first half

Solid play, I like it.

line on the total is dropping quick

they should rape

Maybe it ends up 3-0/2-1 and I lose the total bet but like I said if I can beat 5dimes closer by 30 cents I will take that the majority of the time.

agreed. 5dimes is a much smarter book, so I think you got a steal.

The over here is in good shape probably because by starting the power Barca is trying to end this tie in the 1st leg today. That means they won't be content by winning 2-0 today. They want goals and they want at least 4 to be 100% sure they can send out reserves on return leg in January and get the rest.....otherwise they waisted the opportunity and put unnecessary time on their 1st team legs. All hands on deck for a blowout in this one.

[JT OZ]

Definitely like your outlook and I agree with it so lets hope it plays true!

I'm pretty sure barcas reserves can beat this 2nd division team . You make it sound like they are afraid of Cordoba ??

Simple concept....the bigger margin of victory today the weaker the squad Tito can field on the return leg. Afraid?? Obviously goes w/o saying Tito would never fear any team in the world....the reserves probably could beat them in a 2 leg match on agg., but the reserves WILL beat them in a 1 leg (return leg in this instance) match if they are up 4-0 before the match even kicks....

Do not underestimate a 2nd division team playing against a reserves top team in a Cup match ... Arsenal lost yesterday against Bradford, a team from League Two

In particular at home like Bradford was yesterday to. A return leg wouldn't bother the reserves of Barca probably as the match would be at Nou Camp...but I think it's pretty clear what Tito did today. He wants to win at lest 3-0 or he won't be happy.

[JT OZ]

Would have thought an early goal is a good sign but gonna need 3 in the 2nd half to get it done.

I played a very large bet on the ML and about 20% of that sized bet on -1.5 as well....

I can still see 4-0 or 3-1 for sure here.

Figure they are good for 2 more most likely so its a matter of who can get that 3rd or hopefully more.

[jules11]

over 2...?

[infamousbacardi]

Good pressure spell from Barca, should end 2-0 or 3-0 I'd guess.
