EL CLASICO: Our European football tipster The Ultra previews Saturday’s ‘El Clasico’ as REAL MADRID take on BARCELONA in La Liga. The match preview includes a recommended BETDAQ bet.
REAL MADRID V BARCELONA
8pm While there are other excellent games in Europe today; only one matters. El Clasico. Atletico Madrid added extra spice to this fixture as they lost 1-0 to Sevilla last weekend, and then Barcelona said up the most important El Clasico for a while when scoring very, very late against Real Valladolid on Monday night. The situation is Atletico Madrid top the table, with Barcelona one point behind and Real Madrid three points behind. What a massive fixture!
We can also enjoy 0% Commission on BETDAQ Betting Exchange as all football bets are 0% Commission for what is a truly Super Saturday! With Atletico Madrid not playing until tomorrow, either side can really put the pressure on. Atletico have had such a big lead including games in hand this season, they will really start to feel the heat now they are dropping points. It’s no surprise to see a relatively open market, but Barcelona are favourites at 2.38.
Both sides started the season slowly, particularly Barcelona who obviously had issues in the dressing room with Messi. Real Madrid were impressive when beating Liverpool midweek in the Champions League, but to be honest Liverpool gifted them some goals and I feel this is an excellent time to back Barcelona. Real Madrid have good momentum at the moment, but it is Barcelona who are playing the best football.
I have been saying this for a number of weeks now, but you can see by looking at their xG figures that Barcelona are back. They have been putting in some excellent performances for a number of weeks now – even when getting knocked out of the Champions League they put in some of their best performances of the season away to PSG in the second leg. They only managed an unlucky 1-1 draw, but then they scored ten goals in two games afterwards. It was a big positive that they were able to grind out a 1-0 win against Real Valladolid on Monday too, their backs were against the wall but they never gave up and the big goal came late.
There’s no doubt we will have one of the biggest El Clasico’s tonight. Real have won their last five, but Barcelona are the bet for me at the odds. They come into the game in better form, have had a slightly longer rest with no Champions League midweek and they look like they have their confidence back after a bad start to the season. While Real have won games recently, they still have major issues at the back and Barcelona can take full advantage.
The Ultra Says:
Three points win Barcelona to beat Real Madrid at 2.38 with BETDAQ Betting Exchange
