Football Bets on a massive El Clasico Clash

Barcelona vs Real Madrid

      And this one’s a whopper! Europe’s biggest match always catches the imagination of football fans worldwide, but with Real Madrid six points clear at the top of La Liga, there’s plenty at stake in Saturday’s game. Football betting tips will take note of Gareth Bale’s absence through injury as that opens the door a little wider for Barca to be the first team to beat Los Blancos this season. With handicap betting odds of 1.87 for a home win, and 1.86 for Real Madrid or Draw, Luis Enrique’s side has every chance of closing the gap.

      Lionel Messi and co will be desperate to show who’s boss after limping to two successive league draws, the last a 1-1 at Real Sociedad which Enrique says was the worst performance in his two-year tenure. Barca were lucky to escape with a point as Real had a goal wrongly ruled out and hit the woodwork twice.

      Zinedine Zidane will warn his Real Madrid team of the risk of backlash, but they don’t need reminding of the quality oozing through the Camp Nou. Messi has Neymar alongside and centre-back Gerard Pique is in outstanding form, though he admits the game is more important to Barca than their opponents. Cristiano Ronaldo scored twice as Real Madrid were unconvincing in a win against Sporting Gijon last week, and in the absence of Bale will rely on Karim Benzema to help him carry the goal threat.

      It all adds up to a mouth-watering prospect. If Barca do the business, then the gap closes to three. But if Los Blancos triumph, then they could become unstoppable. I can’t wait! Goals over 3.25 to get 1.96.
