Real shocked after cup disqualification, being tested in Valencia who played 120 minutes on Wednesday. “6-points game” in La Coruna – Levante, “final” for Malaga in Rosaleda, Sociedad under fire.

La Coruna – Levante

La Coruna: 7-1 defeat from Real was a black page in her history. Took the lead until 32’ but gave up in the second half receiving 5 goals. On Tuesday training there was an issue with Colak (MF 14/0). Without spending a lot of money she acquired Boveda (Atl. Bilbao) and Koval (GK, Dynamo Kiev). Knock-out the midfielder Mosquera (11/0). Center back Albentosa and Sidnei will probably make it.

Levante: “Clean” defeat from Villarreal, easier than the final 2-1 implies. One win in last 15 games (1-6-8), manager Muniz is under question with whom last year they got promoted to La Liga. Looking desperately in the market for a center forward, they have only scored 2 times in last 8 games! Center back Postigo and Lopez are being added in the absence list.

Verdict: Levante can’t score even after applying form to do so, La Coruna usually wins in Riazor games against opponents of this level (Alaves, Getafe, Leganes). Small lead to 1(1.95).

Valencia – Real Madrid

Valencia: Won Alaves in penalty shootout on Wednesday for the cup and waits her next opponent for the semi finals. Before that, she lost from Las Palmas (2-1) in a game where she played with 10 players early on. Important comebacks from Gaya(Def 17/0) ,Parejo(MF 18/4) and Soler (MF 15/1).

Real: Shocking defeat and disqualification on Wednesday in Bernabeu from Leganes (1-2) even though the queen had the upper hand from the first game (0-1). The crowd jeered, Zidane took the responsibility and is under heavy fire from Madrid press and now everything will be judged next month in the games against PSG for Champions League.

Verdict: Valencia played for 120 minutes on Wednesday and will definitely have in the back of their minds the semi-final for the cup. Double comes first but as much as it may hurt me (Real Madrid fan) betting on her with such odds is suicidal. No Bet.

Malaga – Girona

Malaga: “Bittersweet” taste after the first game for Gonzalez in the bench , 1-1 in the tough home of Eibar. Took the lead on 16’, had the chances to double the score, got equalized on 74’ and in the end she was begging for the game to end. On Tuesday center forwards Inteye. 3-4 long absences plus the grounded Kuzmanovic (MF 7/0).

Girona: “Stop” for Atletico (1-1) another important result in the season for the new comer. As always competitive, stayed within the game and equalized on 74’, benefited from the consecutive opponent mistakes. Scored for eighth away game in a row.

Verdict: Girona is better but for Malaga this game is a “final”. Leaving aside the current image presented by the two teams, we bet on the wind of change and positive aura with the new coach in “Rosaleda” 1(2.45)

Villarreal – Real Sociedad

Villarreal: With some periods playing really well, did whatever she liked in Levante and came to an fair victory, much easier than the score (2-1) implies. Now she is looking for th top 4. Bacca (forward 18/5) returns as well as midfielder Soriano (12/0). Long absents forward Sansone and 3 more.

Real Sociedad: Downhill with broken breaks! Third defeat in a row, this time against Celta (1-2). Event though she took the lead early, the players go stressed out after equalization, the plan was lost and once again she paid her defensive weaknesses. Manager Eusembio is backed bun there are no guarantees that he will move on after another negative result.

Verdict: Villarreal is at least one level above at this moment, creates chances, creates pressure and moves from victory to victory. With the way Sociedad plays defense the ending of Eusembio looks more likely than ever. 1(2.0).

We wish you good luck whatever you may chose.!
