When you bet on football you should know that there are several strategies which can be quite useful. And just like playing poker with no deposit, it would cost you nothing to try out how these might work out for you. At the end of the day you’ve got nothing to lose and if they help you win some easy money then all the better for you.

Bet on Teams on a Run

Whether it is winning or losing runs it is always better to bet on teams which are on some sort of runs. When Chelsea won against Hull in October, they started a winning run of 13 games. Each next win created a stronger momentum for the Blues and betting enthusiasts profited from backing Conte’s side in each of those matches.

Likewise, when Inter Milan defeated Genoa, a lot of people realized that the Nerazzurri had an easy schedule in the next four games and put a lot of money on Stefano Pioli’s side. This paid them dividends when teams such as Udinese, Chievo, Palermo and Pescara were easily defeated.
However, betting aficionados must be aware that even the longest of runs can be stopped when a worthy adversary stands in their way as it was the case when Inter Milan’s lost to Juventus.

Check Goal Scoring / Goal Conceding Stats

Betting on Over and Under goals is one of the most popular types of football betting. This is because you don’t have the pressure of backing the winner of a match and just focus on the goals scored / conceded aspect.

This is especially true when betting on Over 2.5 goals. In these situations betting enthusiasts can just sit back, watch the game and wait for the goals to start pouring down. They don’t care which teams score the goals and just enjoy the most beautiful aspect of the game.

One key strategy for this type of betting is the number of goals conceded and scored for each team. If a team scores a lot of goals in every game, it is much more likely that they will continue this trend in future games as well.

In addition, if a team concedes tons of goals in every match they play, then it is that much more likely that betting on Over 2.5 goals will again be the winning bet.
There is one downside to using this strategy though, and that is the fact that odds are bound to be much lower for teams who have already shown that they can score or concede a lot of goals in a game.

Playing It Safe

Betting on teams such as Juventus, Real Madrid or Barcelona to win is usually considered as not being adventurous enough when betting. However, teams such as these are nailed on to end up as winners in most matches.

The odds you will get might not be the highest in the betting offer, but you will at least rest assured that your bet is safer than Fort Knox. This strategy is especially useful for high rollers.

Real Madrid v Napoli Preview


Real Madrid receive Napoli on Wednesday in a big clash at Bernabéu. Los Blancos continue top of the table in La Liga after beating Osasuna on Saturday. However, Real Madrid suffered to get the three points and they’re leaving some doubts in the last few weeks of competitions.

Zidane has the full squad available except for Gareth Bale and Danilo. Therefore, he can change the formation and use again the 4-3-3 with Lucas Vázquez, Cristiano Ronaldo and Benzema in the front. Toni Kroos will also be in the pitch from the beginning after his suspension in La Liga.

Napoli are in great form and they’re a real threat for Los Blancos. The Italian side hasn’t lost a game since October and they top the group ahead Besiktas or Benfica. Tonelli is the only injury concern although Milik is not expected to start after returning from a long injury.

Real Madrid v Napoli Prediction

This is a very tough game for Real Madrid. Napoli are in great form and, offensively, they have really good players. However, Bernabéu should be tough for a team that also has defensive problems. We want to trust Cristiano Ronaldo and Benzema to score a few goals and get a good result to travel to San Paolo. We expect a game with a lot of goals, although Real Madrid played quite defensively with Zidane in the knock-out stage round last season.

Last team both teams met was in 1987 with Diego Armando Maradona playing for Napoli. Los Blancos won (2-0) at Santiago Bernabéu in a game played behind closed doors and they were able to draw at San Paolo thanks to a goal by Butragueño to go through the next stage.

Real Madrid v Napoli play on Wednesday the first leg of the Last 16 Round of the Champions League. Los Blancos are already looking forward to one of the biggest clashes of the year. Besides, Napoli are in great form and they haven’t lost since the end of October. Therefore, it will be a very tough game for Real Madrid. Diego Maradona, former Napoli star, is travelling to Madrid to see the game. He will remind the famous game he played at Bernabéu in 1988.

This game has raised a lot of expectation in Napoli. The Italian team is not used to play these big games recently and receiving the current title holder of the Champions League is a big issue in Naples. Last time they played Champions League was in the season 2014/15 but they were kicked out of the competition in the preview against the Spanish team Athletic Club.

The last time Napoli played in the knock-out stage of the Champions League was in 2011/12, with Walter Mazzarri on the bench and Lavezzi and Cavani in the squad. The Italian side faced Chelsea and they won 3-1 at San Paolo. However, Chelsea were leading 3-1 at Stamford Bridge and they went through the next stage with a goal in the extra time scored by Ivanovic.

Therefore, their experience in the Champions League isn’t that big. We have to go back until 1988 to see another Real Madrid v Napoli. It was also in the Last 16 Round but at that time there was not a group stage. Napoli were the title holders in Italy and one of the best squads in Europe and they travelled to Madrid very confident to go through.

The game at Santiago Bernabéu was played behind closed doors and the visit of Maradona to Spain raised a lot of attention. Los Blancos won that game (2-0) with the goals of Míchel and Tendillo. However, the game was very famous for the defense Chendo did to Diego Armando Maradona. The Argentinian star didn’t do anything extraordinary in that game thanks to Chendo, who even humiliated Maradona with an amazing dribble putting the ball between the legs.

In the second leg, Real Madrid suffered in Napoli because the Italian team took the lead very early. However, Emilio Butragueño scored a goal to draw the game and Los Blancos finally (1-1) went through the next stage.

Can we expect a similar result this week?

Despite the rumours about Nacho leaving Real Madrid next season –the last club interested in the defender was Liverpool-, the Spaniard said that he’s very happy at the moment: “I feel I’m living a dream; lifting a Champions League like the last one, in the morning my son was born, is amazing. It’s one of the best things that ever happened in my life”, said in an interview with UEFA.com.

Zinedine Zidane promised Nacho a lot of opportunities this year to convince him to stay. The manager didn’t lie and the defender speaks only good words about his manager: “We were very lucky that he arrived and we won the Champions League, but behind this there is a lot of work. He created a good atmosphere and a positive form. He’s doing a great job and this year we are seeing it. The team is doing great”, Nacho affirmed.

The defender sees a lot of similarities with his manager: “I like him because we are a bit alike, a quite person, he doesn’t agitate when there is a problem. He is very close and that is vital for a coach and the team. Thanks to him we achieved great things and I hope he continues with that. More than tactics or techniques the most important thing is the good atmosphere in the team. The unity of all the players training, you can feel it after playing. It’s true that we work tactically a lot of things”.

Nacho also spoke about his relationship with the Champions League: “It’s a dream playing the Champions League, winning it is amazing. I was very lucky to win two Champions League. It’s the most beautiful things that ever happened in football and we are going to keep working so we can win more. I think in the first one we suffered more, although each one is important”, Nacho reminded.

Finally, the full back spoke about the difficulty of wearing the white t-shirt: “At Real Madrid you can’t lose a friendly game. The pressure is very high and you have to be alert 100%. Every time you wear this t-shirt is a very high responsibility and you have to do it as good as possible. Perhaps for me it’s easier because I’m here since I was 10. Since you are little, this pressure exists and you know the responsibility. You are playing in the best team in the world and since you are young you are learning the things they teach you. When you arrive to the first team, the dimension is even bigger and people look into your job”. Nacho finishes in the interview.

alvaro-morata

Álvaro Morata spoke with the Italian newspaper Il Corriere dello Sport before facing Napoli in the Champions League Last 16. The young Spanish striker spoke about his experience with Real Madrid and the quality of Napoli, a team that can beat Los Blancos.

Álvaro Morata was very clear about his current situation. Morata wants more opportunities and against Osasuna he didn’t even play one minute: “I’m happy and I want to be successful at Real Madrid, but it’s true that I’d like to play more. Now we have the Champions League and La Liga; let’s see if the coach trusts on me”, Morata said to the Italian newspaper.

Morata has played 14 games in La Liga, scoring 6 goals, so he’s the second best scorer in the competition, only behind Cristiano Ronaldo. In the Champions League, the young striker played 5 out of 6 games in the group stage but only one game from the start. He scored goals against Sporting and Legia. And in Copa del Rey he played 5 games and he scored 2 goals in these games.

Morata spoke in the interview also about the situation of the team: “In January we lost two games, but it’s better to be out of Copa del Rey rather than the Champions League. We are now well, we are a united team and we’d like to win La Liga because it’s been a while since the last time. The Champions is always the Champions and we’re looking forward to playing against Napoli”.

The Spanish striker spoke also about the level of Napoli: “They played the ball really well and they are very strong in the front, with Callejón, Hamsik and Insigne. After they have Pavoletti and Milik, who I supposed he will try to be ready. It’s a big team. This year they are not fighting for the title, so they could be even stronger in Europe. They can beat us, but also we can beat them. It’s the magic of the Champions League”, the Spanish affirmed.

Morata has only lost once against Napoli in five games, but he has never scored against the South Italian team: “The victories have always been very suffered and I’m sure Napoli will fight until the end to win”.

Marco Asensio

These can be the five young talents who can highlight in 2017 because of their great talent. Some of them have already signed with important teams and all of them have left us an excellent performances during this year. Marco Asensio, Renato Sanches, Delle Alli,Ousmane Dembélé and Donnarumma are the young rising stars that can become the best players of the world in the future.

Marco Asensio: The young Majorcan player is being a very important player for Real Madrid because Los Blancos have had many injuries during the current season and Asensio has played really good, showing his great talent. This season he has played 13 games in La Liga, 6 in Copa del Rey and three in Champions League, scoring six goals in all the competitions.

Renato Sanches: The Portuguese young player signed with Bayern Munich last summer transfer market for an amount of €35M from Benfica. Renato Sanches played an incredible Euro at France, winning the trophy and being in the usual Fernando Santos line-up. In his first experience far from Portugal, Renato Sanches has played 10 games in La Bundesliga, and five in Champions League.

Delle Alli: Alli is one of the best players in the current Premier League season. The English midfielder has a lot of talent and many teams want to sign him. He is very happy at Tottenham because he is playing in all the matches and scoring many important goals. This season he has scored 11 goals in Premier League, being one of the top scorers midfielders in all Europe. We can say that he is a player “box to box”, who can defend as a defender and attack as a striker.

Ousmane Dembélé: The French young talent from Borussia Dortmund is playing a great season in his first year in Germany. He is 19 years old and if finally Aubameyang leaves Dortmund, he can be the new striker of the team because he is very fast and he has great dribble skills.

Gianluigi Donnarumma: The young Italian keeper is playing his second season at Milan. Despite his youth, Donnarumma shows a lot of security and serenity between the sticks. Many Italian people compare him with Buffon because of his height and his talent.

Nacho Fernández

Many important European teams are interested in Nacho’s services for next season. Liverpool have only won one match in 2017, and they want to improve the defense for next year. The team managed by Jurgen Klopp is currently in the fourth position of the table and there are several doubts about the performance of certain players.

One of the positions that create mores doubts is the defense line. Liverpool are the team that received more goals between the top eight Premier League teams and this defensive fragility can leave them out of the Champios League positions for the next season.

Because of this reason Liverpool’s target is Nacho Fernández. The Real Madrid defender is in Liverpool’s agenda for the next summer transfer market. The signing could cost around €20M and Jurgen Klopp is willing to sing him. Nacho’s salary is not very high, so they want to convince by promising that he will play more minutes than in the current season.

However, Nacho has already rejected an offer last summer from AS Roma because Zinedine Zidane convinced the Spaniard defense to stay because he was going to have more minutes than the last years. The French manager did not lie, Nacho has already played 20 games this year, being in several games a very important player for Los Blancos.

There are two reasons why Nacho can leave Real Madrid next season. The first one is Jesus Vallejo’s return from Germany, after going on loan this season, being nowadays one of the best defenders in the Bundesliga. While the second reason is if Real Madrid decide to sign in the next summer transfer market an important defense, because Nacho don’t want to be again the fourth full back in the squad.

Currently, Nacho is a very important player in the team because he can play in the four positions of the defense. The Spaniard player will have many offers next summer transfer market, but he looks very happy at Madrid because year by year he is becoming more important in the squad.

zidane osasuna

Zinedine Zidane spoke after the victory against Osasuna at Sadar. Los Blancos suffered to win, but finally they could achieve the three points. The French manager highlighted the difficulty of the match, the performance of certain players and other different topics.

Zidane started the press conference talking about the difficult match they had against the bottom team of the table:” The only thing I can say is that we could get the victory in a very tough game. The rival played with a lot of intensity and they have given us difficulties. We achieved the three points and that’s the most important thing”, Zidane said.

Nacho played his 100th game with Madrid and Ramos his 500th and this is what the French manager thinks about them: “Sergio is our captain and he is very important for us. I hope he continues showing this level because he deserves everything, he is an example for us. While Nacho is a young player who play like a veteran. He is has a lot of personality and overtime he plays his performance is good”, Zidane affirmed.

Los Blancos played better when Zidane decided to change the formation to four defenses instead of five:” With Danilo’s injury we had to change of formation, and after that change we had more balance in the team. I’ve seen the team better in the second half because with had more balance with four defenses”, the French manager explained.

James reappeared in the last minutes and his performance was really good, participating and defending:” I saw him really good. The game was a little “crazy” when he entered and he gave the calm we needed in the last minutes. These are good new for Real Madrid because he is a very good player.

Danilo and Tano had to leave the pitch because of different injuries and this is the message that sends the French manager to  Osasuna’s player: “I’m very sorry for the serious injury of Osasuna’s player, not everything in football is good. Danilo had a blow but we will know it better tomorrow”, Zidane said.

Osasuna Real Madrid

Real Madrid won (1-3) against Osasuna in a very tough stadium as Sadar, where Los Blancos have lost in five of their last six visits to Pamplona. Zinedine Zidane decided to do some changes in the line-up playing with the five defenders as he did in the match against Sevilla of the regular season. Nacho, Varane and Ramos were the full backs in the starting 11, and the French manager decided to introduce Danilo instead Carvajal who is recently recovered from his injury.

Osasuna started the match with a lot of intensity and they had the first chances. Los Blancos tried to control the game but neither Casemiro, Modric and Isco had the ball possession. With the pass of the minutes Los Blancos started to create some chances and in the 23rd minute Cristiano Ronaldo opened the score board from a great pass of Karim Benzema. Only ten minutes later Sergio León tied the match with a great finish from a wonderful lob, unstoppable for Keylor Navas. Real Madrid didn’t play a good first half and they went to the dress room having several doubts with the way they must play.

In the 3rd minute of the second half, Sergio León could score the second goal for Osasuna, but Keylor Navas prevented it with a great safe. Danilo had to leave the field because of an injury in his left ankle and James Rodríguez replaced him. With this substitution Zidane had to change once again the formation and he decided to play with four defenses, with Nacho in the right back and the Colombian in the midfield.

Only five minutes later Isco scored the second goal for Los Blancos from a good shot. In the 70th minute Zidane introduced Lucas Vázquez replacing Karim Benzema in another very poor game of the French striker. In the last 20 minutes Los Blancos controlled the match because Osasuna looked very tired after running during all the game. In the injury time Lucas scored the third one and with this goal Los Blancos could achieve the victory in a very tough game.

Now Real madrid must think in the first leg of Champions League last 16 round against Napoli at Santiago Bernabéu. It will be a very difficult match because the Italian team is doing a good season and nowadays they are in the second position of the table.
