GR88.com Bookmakers Favour Barcelona in La Liga Title Decider

15 May 2014, London, UK (Press Release) -- The fight for the La Liga title is going right to the wire, with Barcelona and Atlético Madrid facing an effective shoot-out to be named champions this weekend.

Last season's champions Barcelona are three points behind Atléti, but if they beat their opponents at Camp Nou then they will win the title on the strength of their superior head-to-head record. However any other result will see Diego Simeone's side win the league for the first time since 1996. Tata Martino's Barça are 1.78 with GR88.com to get that crucial home win, with the visitors 4.20 outsiders and the draw available at 3.55 (all odds are subject to change).

Atlético Madrid are still on course for a historic La Liga and Champions League double, and after Saturday's title clash they will begin preparing for their European final against fierce rivals Real Madrid in Lisbon on May 24th. However before they look to stop Real Madrid sealing La Decima - a 10th European Cup or Champions League win - they will be focused on securing a 10th domestic title of their own.

"Atlético know this is a huge opportunity, and with key players like Diego Costa potentially leaving in the summer this may be their best chance of winning La Liga for some time," Antony Jordan, GR88.com blogger, said.

"Atléti only need a draw to break up the Real Madrid-Barcelona duopoly in Spain, but Barça have won 16 of their 18 home games and their experience could tell this weekend."

Saturday afternoon also sees a huge game in England, with Arsenal and Hull facing off in the FA Cup Final at Wembley. The London club are 1.24 favourites to lift the trophy, while Hull can be backed at 4.00 to win the competition for the first time in their history.

GR88.com's Nil-Nil Money-Back Offer is in play for the full programme of Spanish La Liga matches this weekend. If Barcelona v Atlético Madrid or any of the other nine fixtures ends goalless, then GR88 will refund selected losing pre-match bets on the game in question.

GR88.com Bookmakers Back Liverpool to Win Premier League Top-of-the-Table Clash

10 April 2014, London, UK (Press Release) -- There are only a few games left in the Premier League season, and this weekend sees huge games at the top and bottom of the table, with GR88.com bookmakers favouring Liverpool and Fulham to end the weekend as the big winners.

Liverpool are top of the table and have their destiny in their own hands, but face a huge test on Sunday when Manchester City visit Anfield. The home side are 2.26 to open up a gap over their title rivals, while City are 2.82 and the draw 3.40 (All odds are subject to change).

Lower down the league, Fulham (2.06) are five points adrift of safety, but face the side directly above them on Saturday afternoon in a relegation six-pointer. Visitors Norwich City (3.40) will be desperate for a win, with the club's four games after this weekend all coming against sides towards the top of the table.

"At this stage of the season every point is crucial, and this year it looks like the narrowest of margins could decide who wins the league and who stays up," said GR88 blogger Antony Jordan.

"For Fulham it looks like there are no more second chances - they need to win, even a draw won't be enough."

Tension is sure to be high, but there is no need to worry about a disappointing goalless draw. If any of this weekend's Premier League games end 0-0 then GR88.com will refund losing Correct Score, Half-Time/Full-Time or Scorecast bets on that match.

The Nil-Nil Money Back Offer also applies to matches in the Italian Serie A, Spanish La Liga, French Ligue 1, German Bundesliga and Champions League. Full terms and conditions can be found at http://www.gr88.com/promotions/sports/20.

GR88.com Bookmakers Back Barcelona to Extend Champions League Record

4 April 2014, London, UK (Press Release) -- With three of the Champions League quarter-finals delicately poised after the first legs, GR88.com bookmakers are backing FC Barcelona to reach a record seventh semi-final in a row.

The reigning Spanish champions are 2.14 to win away against La Liga rivals Atlético Madrid (3.20), with a draw available at 3.25. The first leg finished 1-1, with goals scored by Diego and Neymar, and a repeat scoreline in Madrid - taking the game to extra time - is priced at 6.40 by GR88.com (all odds are subject to change).

Next Wednesday's other game also sees two teams coming into the match level at 1-1 from the first leg, but Bayern Munich (1.25) are strong favourites over Manchester United (11.00) despite being without key players Javi Martinez and Bastian Schweinsteiger.

Chelsea (1.78) are favourites to win their second leg against Paris Saint-Germain (4.30) next Tuesday, however Javier Pastore's late goal means the English side need to win by 2-0 (8.20) or more.

And the final game comes from Germany, where Borussia Dortmund (3.15) suffered a crushing 3-0 defeat away to Real Madrid (2.08), but will still hold out some hope after putting four goals past the Spanish side in last year's competition.

There is every chance that one or more of the games will still be in the balance going into the closing stages, and GR88.com guarantees late goals won't ruin a successful betting night thanks to the Late Goal Refund promotion.

If a goal is scored in the 88th minute or later, all losing pre-match bets on the match result, correct score or last goalscorer will be refunded if they were winning before the goal went in. Full terms and conditions can be found at http://www.gr88.com/promotions/sports/21.

"We have already seen one very late goal in Paris, and the second legs are sure to be fiercely competitive," GR88 blogger Antony Jordan said.

"At this stage of the competition the margins are tight, and one goal in the final minute could change anything, so we're ready for more last-minute drama," he added.
