The sports betting world, football betting in particular, is in a current state of shock as Real Madrid continue to defy betting odds –and not in a good way – by continuing its unimpressive run of football games, although betting websites I’m sure haven’t lost confidence in the ability of Real Madrid to bounce back, but can they? And if yes, will it be soon, would it suffice and would it hold?
For a highly-feared and talent-laden team that has a Cristiano Ronaldo, why is Real Madrid suffering from a scoring drought? I guess the writing was on the wall as early as the pre-season. As early as the International Champions Cup match versus Inter Milan, Real Madrid appear incapable of finding the back of the net. In this duel they were forced to a scoreless draw, winning by virtue of a 10-9 edge during penalty shootout.
The win versus Tottenham Hotspur after that was a dud, because what happened next is back-to-back scoreless affairs, one against Bayern München, and another against Vålerenga Fotball. And to open their La Liga campaign, they were scoreless against Real Sporting de Gijón, which, by all accounts is yet to become at par with Real Madrid in terms of talent, no offense to the Rojiblancos.
So, what gives Real Madrid? Is it because of a new system under a new coach in Rafael Benitez? Speaking of which, Benitez has clearly pushed the panic button, re-inserting Karim Benzema in the roster hoping to add more firepower to the squad limping in offense.
If this persists, how can Real Madrid expect to challenge holders FC Barcelona, or at least city rival Atletico Madrid?
The season is still in its very early stages, so Real Madrid fans can still breathe easy. But still, if you can have it any other way, it would be better if Real Madrid started the season strong. Now, the pressure is on for them to improve if they want this season to be close to becoming fruitful for the club.
