Veron is away with the national side with worries me a bit. They were poor without him away to Boca last time around. I still think I'll take a shot on this one.
Champions League: Real Madrid - Lyon
Second leg. First leg: Lyon 1-0.
Expecting a cautious 1H. Madrid can't afford an away goal, because they would have to score three times. Madrid played three home games in CL this season; total goals 9, total 1H goals 2. Lyon defense has given up a total of 1 goal in its L4 road games.
Madrid won't play cautious even if logic says they should, there will be an all out assault by Real in the first half, if the half stays under its because of poor finishing.
Another push for the Tottenham game.
I started this thread because of three quick 1H total wins, posted in other threads, but at the present pace it's not worth maintaining a separate topic. Tomorrow is going to be a W or L, so I'll let that decide if there's any point in posting these plays.
Ending this little 1H angle with the first loss. The last two games suggest the angle is not accurate. Seven goals in those two games, but only one in the 1H. No thanks.
