Bettor’s Edge – September 22, 2016 – Real Madrid without Casemiro places this club with a tremendous disadvantage over the next 1 to 2 months, thus improving Barcelona’s chances of winning La Liga Primera 2017 at -120 odds. This price could go up so bettors are urged to place their future bets now.
Fox Sports notes that, while Cristiano Ronaldo and Gareth Bale are obviously Real Madrid's stars and Karim Benzema, Luka Modric and Sergio Ramos vital to the team's success, the Merengues can function without any one of them due to the enormous depth around the pitch.
There is nobody to fill in for Casemiro. “He is Real Madrid's lone defensive midfielder, and really their only midfielder even halfway capable of tackling, playing with physicality and shielding the back line. It's a set of skills that club president Florentino Perez has rarely valued or shown any interest in bringing to the team.” - Alistair Prescott, gambling911.com
