Atletico manage to halt Liverpool’s momentum, Erling Braut Haaland sees off Neymar’s PSG, and Portsmouth steal EFL Trophy thriller – but how much could you have won?

Atleti stop the unstoppable Reds – Atletico Madrid v Liverpool
Man City. Napoli. Aston Villa. And now Atletico Madrid. The very short list of sides who’ve beaten Liverpool in 2019/20.

So used to easing through fixtures in the Premier League, the Reds couldn’t deal with their hosts’ intensity, failing to register a single shot on target all game.

The 1st leg was decided early on, as Saul Niguez put Atletico ahead in the 4th minute. Sell a 1st Match Goal spread of 40-43, and that’s a swift 36 times your initial stake.

You also needed to sell a starting Liverpool/Atletico (h) Goal Supremacy spread of 0.2-0.4 if you wanted to pick up 1.2 times your opening bet.

Haaland can’t stop scoring – Borussia Dortmund v PSG
It may only be February 2020, but all the signs are there that Borussia Dortmund may have made one of the signings of the decade by nabbing Erling Braut Haaland for just €20 million.

Scoring a brace on Tuesday night, the Norwegian wunderkind now has 39 goals in 29 appearances this season, including 11 in 7 for Dortmund and 10 in 7 in the Champions League.

His 69th and 77th minute goals came either side of Neymar’s short-lived 75th minute equaliser. That left Haaland with a SMM make-up of 223 against a starting spread of 46-54, netting you 169 times your original bet. In contrast, buying a Neymar PGM spread of 27-30 left you with 45 times your initial wager.

Pompey reach 2nd consecutive EFL Trophy final – Portsmouth v Exeter
Portsmouth and Exeter ended up stuffing a fixture’s worth of drama into the final 15 minutes of their EFL Trophy semi-final.

Jake Taylor had put the Grecians ahead in the 79th minute, only for Pompey’s Marcus Harness to equalise in the 86th. An 88th minute own goal from Christian Burgess then appeared to secure a spot in the final for the visitors, before Cameron McGeehan once against drew things level in the 1st minute of injury time.

Just as it looked like penalties were on the table, John Marquis headed home, sending the defending champions through to their 2nd consecutive final.

All that late action meant the Total Goal Minutes make-up came in at 434 against a starting price of 143-153 – in other words, 281 times your initial stake.

Meanwhile if you bought the Portsmouth to win match binary when it had fallen to a mere 0-3.5 in the final moments of the game, you would have been left with 96.5 times your opening bet.
