Team Reviews

Last week, Real Madrid defeated Barcelona and extended their lead to 11 points. Therefore, the championship race is over - it's time to shift focus to the Champions League. It's worth noting that Real Madrid doesn't always perform well in the first halves but consistently improves after halftime, often due to substitutions.

Under 2.5 total goals have been scored in 7 out of their last 8 away matches. Even if they don't score, they are unlikely to lose by a large margin. Therefore, consider Cadiz +2.5 handicap at 1.36.
