Mallorca stumbles at Getafe

Soccer Betting Lines

03/13/2010 - Getafe, Spain (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Mallorca's troubles away from home continued on Saturday as the club suffered a 3-0 defeat at Getafe.

Mallorca entered the weekend in fourth place, level on points with Sevilla and only four behind third-placed Valencia, but the loss drops them into fifth place, while Getafe jumps into eighth and has renewed its hopes for a spot in Europe.

Daniel Parejo scored the opener after 32 minutes and a pair of substitutes, Miku and Manu, sealed the win with goals in the last 10 minutes, while Mallorca's Nunes was sent off just prior to the third goal.

Mallorca has put together one of the best home records in La Liga this season, but their form away from home has been poor as they have posted just two wins in 14 matches on the road.

The game started slowly with neither team doing much offensively in the first 30 minutes, but the first good chance fell to Getafe as Roberto Soldado played Pedro Leon in behind the defense, and he forced a save from goalkeeper Dudu Aouate.

However, Aouate couldn't keep out a close-range header minutes later from Parejo, who finished off a cross from Jaime Gavilan.

Mallorca was unable to get anything going offensively and they were fortunate to remain within a goal early in the second half as Aouate produced saves on both Leon and Javier Casquero.

But it wasn't until the final 10 minutes that all three points were secured as a pair of substitutes put the result out of reach.

Parejo had a hand in Miku's goal as he set up the young striker for a low shot that managed to get past Aouate, while Mallorca captain Nunes was sent off four minutes later when he handled the ball on his own goal line.

Manu easily converted the penalty kick with five minutes to play to wrap up the win, which snaps a six-game winless skid for Getafe.

Sevilla moved into fourth place after their 1-1 draw with Deportivo, while Athletic Bilbao had to settle for a 0-0 draw against Sporting Gijon as Bilbao's Igor Gabilondo missed a second-half penalty kick.

MySportsbook.com favors Bears, Bengals, Chargers and Colts to remain perfect

LAS VEGAS , Sept. 28 - Two big match-ups of undefeated teams have fans salivating at the Week Four schedule in the NFL. The Chicago Bears stifling defense looks to provide a less than hospitable welcome to the Seattle Seahawks on Sunday night in a battle of two 3-0 teams in the NFC conference. In the AFC, the San Diego Chargers (2-0) head to Maryland to face the surprising Baltimore Ravens (3-0) as both try to keep pace atop the conference standings. Betting Lines makers at MySportsbook.com, online sportsbook and casino, have set the Bears as 3.5 point favorites while the Chargers are a 2.5 point bet.

Of the three remaining undefeated teams, only one, New Orleans, enters this week's game as an underdog. Despite an emotional and resounding win over Atlanta on Monday night, the Saints are a 7.5 point underdog against the struggling Carolina Panthers. Indianapolis looks to stay perfect when they face the New York Jets as a 9 point road favorite while the Cincinnati Bengals are a 6 point favorite at home to the New England Patriots.

Six teams enter the week still looking for their first win, with a seventh, Tampa Bay, on a bye week. The prospect of dropping another game would not bode well for a potential playoff run. Since 1990, just three teams -- the 1992 Chargers, 1995 Detroit Lions and 1998 Buffalo Bills -- have overcome losing their first three games of the season to earn a postseason berth. And only the Chargers managed to accomplish the feat after starting 0-4.
