The first El Clásico of the season, with Barcelona hosting Real Madrid at the Camp Nou on Saturday, 3.15 GMT Kick off.
The two sides currently occupy the top two spots in La Liga. Real have already opened up a 6 point lead over Barcelona. A loss here would make it very hard for Barcelona to challenge for La Liga. 9 points after 14 games would be a huge gap to close, considering Real are unbeaten and only drawn 3. Last month they went to Atletico Madrid and beat them 3-0.
Barcelona have been struggling this year with 2 losses already. They seem to want to make the perfect goal and don't shoot as often as they should. I think the last game, they were fortunate to get something from Real Sociedad. Sociedad dominated all the stats and should have really won.
I am actually really surprised with the odds here.
Barcelona 1.85
Draw 4.2
Real Madrid 4.2
Odds from Bet365 and are correct as of Friday 2nd December 12.30pm.
I'd have expected Barca to be odds against. I think the value here is on Real Madrid. You can get the Asian Handicap +0.5 at 2.05 or if you fancy a Barca win, bet on the Asian Handicap at 1.875. All three results wouldn't be a surprise so getting evens for the draw and Real Madrid win is great.
As with all La Liga fixtures, bet365 will be live streaming the game, there are some geo-restrictions but you can watch it in the UK if you have an account.
With all games, Bet365 have Bore Draw Money Back and unlimited Each-Way First Goalscorers.
Messi and Ronaldo are the obvious choices for goal scorers. I'd be surprised if it ends 0-0 though so the bore draw not that relevant. Hasn't happened in 5 years between these two. I'll be watching it on Bet365 and probably do some in running depending on how I see the game going.
