This weekend, the Spanish football championship will be decided by the leaders' clash between "Barcelona" and Madrid's "Atletico" clubs. A similar story is unfolding in France, where "Paris Saint Germain" and Lyon's "Olympique" will clash. We review the future opponents' perspectives and present the odds set by "TonyBet".
"Barcelona" - 1.30 / Draw - 5.40 / Madrid's "Atletico" - 9.55
In the Spanish championship, the firmly leading "Barcelona" will seek to increase their lead over the second-placed Madrid's "Atletico" club. However, the match will not be an easy walk for either of the teams.
The most dominant club in Spain over the past decade, "Barcelona", seems to be on a rampage this season with 14 wins and only one draw so far. The team is not only aiming for the title but also to break records set by Madrid's "Real" - 100 points and 121 goals. The fact that they have already scored 50 goals and Lionel Messi, the most dangerous sniper of the team, has scored 23, is impressive. After Pep Guardiola's departure, his former assistant Francesc Vilanova has managed to maintain the team's performance and even improve it. However, such a stunning performance at the beginning of the season does not guarantee titles, and even the strongest teams can face obstacles.
Madrid's "Atletico" club has emerged from the shadow of Spain's elite this year and is not only aiming for the UEFA Champions League next year but is also a serious contender in the national championship race. With only seven points lost in the first 15 games, they are in a fantastic position compared to the dominant Madrid team "Real". The last time they celebrated a victory at the "Nou Camp" stadium was in 2006, but the current team is more than ready to challenge the Catalan club. The most dangerous weapon of "Atletico" is Falcao, who is the third most prolific player in "La Liga" with 16 goals.
Will "Barcelona" be able to contain the most prolific player of Madrid's "Atletico" and further solidify their position at the top of the Spanish championship, or will the scenario be different, with the fight for the title becoming even tighter? If the match ends in a draw, a special - conditional bet is applied!
"Paris Saint Germain" - 1.64 / Draw - 3.70 / Lyon's "Olympique" - 5.80
The hottest matchup at the top of the French championship this winter. Lyon's "Olympique", with just a three-point advantage, travels to the home of wealthy "Paris Saint Germain".
After splurging in the summer and attracting stars like Zlatan Ibrahimovic, Thiago Silva, and Ezequiel Lavezzi, "Paris Saint Germain" seemed like the clear winner of the French championship. Now, with the fading fears after the start of the season, Carlo Ancelotti's men can finally climb to the top if they manage to overcome the reigning champions' sturdy Lyon team at their stadium. The most prolific team in the championship has scored 32 goals in 17 games, and the leader of the attack, Z. Ibrahimovic, has added an incredible 17 goals. Their aggressive attack and increasingly solid defense will be the key factors in the upcoming match.
From 2001 to 2008, Lyon's "Olympique" won seven championship titles in the French championship but later went through a drought. This year, the team seems to have reunited a suitable group to compete for the title once again and are currently leading. However, a frustrating draw with league outsiders "Nancy" on Wednesday prevented them from extending their lead over the closest pursuers. The team's most prolific player, Bafetimbi Gomis, scored 51 goals in 17 games, with 10 of them hitting the target. While the guests have stumbled only once in the last ten games, earning three points in Paris will be very challenging.
In the battle of the most prolific teams in the French championship, the home stadium can be a decisive factor. Will the wealthy "Paris Saint Germain" finally climb to the dreamt first place? A conditional bet is also set for this match.
