Hamburg - Barca

when this?

Messi didn't travel

None on the Euro 2012 players are there and it's mainly kids in the squad.

Pinto, Oier, Dani Alves, Bartra, Ilie, Muniesa, Sergi Roberto, Deulofeu, Dos Santos, Alexis, Rafinha, Mascherano, Joan Àngel Román, Sergi Gómez, Lobato, Patric, Planas, Afellay, Adriano, Balliu and Espinosa

Last pre-season saw Barca lose friendlies to Guadalajara, Man Utd and Espanyol, and draw with Hadjuk Split and Internacional.  Got to be worth a lay at 1.76 (or even a modest back of Hamburg ar 5.2) especially as Hamburg have already played 3 friendlies and this is Barca's first.

If you're laying them then get in quick they're on the drift, gone to 1.83 already. Once more people realise Messi is injured and it's basically a reserve side, i think they might get closer to evens come kick off

Yep, graph shows a pretty steady drift on Barca from 1.5.  As you say, this mornings news about Messi might push it out further (I understand he was named in the original squad then pulled out?).  Hopefully around 2 or above at KO. . I layed at 1.8.

"Messi will not be in Hamburg. In training on Monday, the Argentinian strained his right calf. Echography practiced on Tuesday morning has revealed that he has suffered intramuscular bruising and the Medical Services have said that his availability for future matches depends on his how the injury develops. He will be having two physiotherapy sessions to day on the Ciutat Esportiva"

Massive drift. Thanks for the heads up. Easy green always appreciated.

2.04 already, keep going

Once people realise that Barca will actually field their C team, the price is going to drift even further. Massive green potential

hamburg win easily imo

is there hamburg squad?
