    Anyone Got Balls to Bet Against Madrid Tomorrow?
    Real Madrid vs Levante +2.5

    Positive side
    -Levante in great form, their last away game was 0-1 win at Villarreal.
    -Levante beat Madrid 2-0 (cup game 2nd leg).
    -Madrid's mind is midweek away game at Lyon.
    -

    Negative side
    -important home game for Madrid
    -Ronaldo will start
    -Levante lost 8-0 (1st leg)

    Bottom line: I think -2.5 is too big of a spread, Mourinho is famous for keeping tough games like this tight and pulling off a result in the last minutes. This could easily be 5-0 if Levante give up on the game but I think bookmakers will make money off of -2.5 so why shouldn't we? Going to wait till the last minute after 90% of people take Madrid.

    thoughts??

    I would like to see madrid's line up first. If he gives a rest to key players, especially xabi alonso, with his mind set on next week CL game, this is a no brainer imo (if you watch madrid games you might have noticed how much it struggles to get things going when xabi isnt on the field). If he starts most of his 1st team, i think its too close and i would pass.

      Porteros: Adán, Dudek y Tomás Mejías.
      Defensas: Carvalho, Marcelo, Arbeloa, S. Ramos, Albiol y Garay.
      Centrocampistas: Khedira, X. Alonso, Lass, Gago, Kaká, Özil y Di María.
      Delanteros: Cristiano Ronaldo, Adebayor y Benzema.

      No Pepe tomorrow, Casillas suspended.
      I think we may see

      ******************************ADEBAYOR/Benzema********************


      Ronaldo will play almost for sure! Mou has been talking about the physic condition of Ronaldo and will start him.
      Alonso I think will start or will play in second half. Maybe we'll see lass in the place of Khedira.

      Kaka may go in the place of Ozil cause he needs to rest.

      I still have no idea who will start as our 9! Maybe Benzema? Or will tomorrow Adebayor start and Benzema play in Lyon?

      Madrid will win as they've been doing in Bernabeu. I think they may wanna have 1-0 or 2-0.
      Levante was humiliated in Copa del rey! And they wont play that way again! I think there would be much more defense tomorrow!

      Everybody in Madrid and every Madrid fan in the world is waiting for Tuesday!

      That's a BIG game! Madrid should start well and get at win better scenario or a draw scoring at Lyon! And everybody till remember last year and want the revenge this year!

          Jose will take a 1-0, 2-0. He's got his mind on Lyon, definitely. Much more important game. Levante +2.5 here.

                  It's suicidal to take that bet. Good Luck sweating that bet out, because it will be like that the whole game.

                    I was basically right except for Xabi, he's not playing today!

                    Lass-Khedira on midfield!

                    Xabi out is a big factor and all Levante +2.5 backers can feel little better without him on the field!

                    Not betting the game but hope my guys win and u boys also so 1-0 is ok for me!

                      Without Xabi, it looks oh so tempting to bet on Levante +2.5, that man is absolutely key in that team. I guess i have 20 mins to make up my mind.

                          Not good for Levante Backers!

                          Benzema score?

                          Great play by Di Maria!

                              Di Maria today playing like at the beginning of the season! He really needed to rest couple of games!

                                      Lucky in the last play! Ronaldo was by a little offside!

                                      Madrid today walked all over basically! Never tried to get more 2-0 enough and getting ready for Lyon!

                                      Great play the last one by Ozil!

                                      2-0
