Real Madrid experienced their most recent two draws in the La Liga at the end of February and early March. Here, Carlo Ancelotti’s side recorded a 1-1 in the derby against the third-placed Atlético Madrid and a 0-0 at the sixth-ranked Betis Sevilla.

Since then, in 13 Primera División appearances, the Blancos saw eight victories and five defeats. The first of these occurred on 19 March in the Clásico with a 1-2 at the champions FC Barcelona. Immediately before and afterwards, they managed at home a 3-1 against the second-bottom RCD Espanyol and a 6-0 against the third-bottom Real Valladolid. Then, Real Madrid, with a 2-3 loss to the fifth-placed Villarreal, dropped points for the only time in their last seven appearances at the Estadio Santiago Bernabéu.

In the next four league matches, the second-placed team won three times against sides that rank in the second half of the table. The exception, a 2-4 at the ninth-placed Girona, happened between two 2-0 in Cádiz plus against Celta Vigo and a 4-2 against Alméria.

Afterwards, Real Madrid first recorded away defeats against the fourth-ranked Real Sociedad (0-2) plus the 15th-placed Valencia (0-1) and a 1-0 home win against the 14th-placed Getafe. Then, May ended with two 2-1 in the home derby against the tenth-placed Rayo Vallecano and at the eleventh-ranked Sevilla FC on Sunday.

Expert analysis Athletic Bilbao

Athletic Bilbao collected 13 of their 50 points in Spain’s La Liga table from the 26th to the 30th matchday. In that period, Ernesto Valverde’s side dropped points exclusively in a 0-0 home draw against Getafe on 1 April. Afterwards, the Leones threaded a 2-1 at RCD Espanyol, a 2-0 in a Basque regional derby against Real Sociedad and a 2-1 at Almería. There, Iñigo Martínez played his last LaLiga game so far.

Following the injury to the defence stalwart, Athletic Bilbao lost five of their last seven Primera División appearances. The first exception, a 1-1 at the twelfth-placed RCD Mallorca, was sandwiched between two 0-1 defeats to Sevilla FC and Betis Sevilla. Then, Athletic Bilbao slid to a 1-5 debacle at Villarreal. There, the second standard centre-back, Yeray Álvarez, played for the only time in the last five rounds.

On 20 May, the Leones returned to the winning track with a 2-1 against Celta Vigo. However, this was only a flash in the pan. Because: Athletic Bilbao most recently lost 0-2 at seventh-ranked Osasuna and most notably on Sunday 0-1 at home against the last-placed Elche, who were relegated weeks ago.

Alice is half Austrian and half Italian. That's why she experienced the 1990 World Cup in Italy at first hand. And that awakened her enthusiasm for football. Since she has loved writing since childhood, Alice began to study journalism while still at school. It was very convenient for her that her class took part in a project of a German daily newspaper. She was also allowed to write for the children's pages of an Austrian daily newspaper and to get a taste of the sports department of the same medium. This is how she received her first press accreditations, which was of course anything but a matter of course for the then 18-year-old. Although she was partly advised against it, Alice decided to study journalism and communication sciences. After a few years, she decided to use the exams she had taken as an elective. Nevertheless, she applies the knowledge she has acquired in her further professional life. The same applies to her language skills. In addition to her mother tongues German and Italian, Alice is also proficient in English and Spanish. She also understands French and can use this language in research. During her studies, Alice was involved in an Austrian football club. At the same time, she wrote for a total of three Austrian portals and worked as an Austria correspondent for an Italian-language online medium. This collaboration started during Giovanni Trapattoni's era at Red Bull Salzburg and continued during EURO 2008. This gave her the opportunity to interact with Trapattoni as well as with Italian journalists. From the following year, Alice initially worked with a Swiss portal before discovering sports betting content for herself. On the one hand, this kept her in sports journalism, and on the other, it broadened her horizons. And that both in the context of the sports betting industry and with other sports as well as countries. In the field of sports journalism, she focused in particular on football from around the world, volleyball and beach volleyball. In addition, she naturally wrote several guides, bookmaker profiles, bonus articles and other content for betting enthusiasts. She did this for the same company for about ten years, writing articles in German and Italian. She also built the Italian-language website together with the managing director. Meanwhile, Alice started working with another Austrian football club. Furthermore, she joined the Association Internationale de la Presse Sportive (AIPS) in 2016. This gives her the opportunity to watch teams and athletes on the ground relatively often. Not only sports betting, but also radio In January 2019, the next step in her professional development followed. For: she started creating premium content on the topic of sports betting. In the process, she finally put out feelers to almost all countries and all continents. And this was not least due to the fact that both German and English-speaking users subscribed to her content. Nevertheless, Alice continued to use her knowledge of Italian, among other things. On the one hand, because she regularly exchanges ideas with Italian colleagues, and on the other, because she works with a web radio station. The Corona crisis had a strong impact on the sports world and on interest in sports betting, primarily in the early days. Therefore, a fresh start was necessary and, on balance, Alice found the fields of activity that suited her best. She also writes articles for an agency on almost all disciplines as well as on eSports and content for a German online medium. Alice is half Austrian and half Italian. That's why she experienced the 1990 World Cup in Italy at first hand. And that awakened her enthusiasm for football.
