EL CLASICO: We preview Wednesday’s ‘El Clasico’ Copa del Rey semi-final between REAL MADRID v BARCELONA with a recommended BETDAQ bet.
8pm This Copa del Rey semi-final couldn’t be more finely poised after the first leg ended 1-1 at Camp Nou. There isn’t much doubt that Barcelona have been the better side this season as Real Madrid’s troubles are well documented, however now that Real have home advantage this should be an excellent game to watch. It’s worth noting that the sides will also meet at the weekend in La Liga and after Messi started on the bench for the first leg, it will be fascinating to see the tactics here.
We have an open market on BETDAQ with the match odds at the time of writing currently trade; Real Madrid 2.96, Barcelona 2.48 and the draw is 3.75. While the sides meet at the weekend, this tie is far more important with Real Madrid so far behind in the La Liga table – their fans will accept nothing less than a win here; however Barcelona have come out on top in El Clasico while a lot recently.
Messi has been in superb form this season and warmed up for this El Clasico double header with a hat-trick at the weekend against Sevilla. Perhaps Barcelona regret starting him on the bench for the first leg however he should start here. Real have improved in recent weeks after a terrible start to the season but we can see Barcelona and Messi outclassing them here. Real have consistently come up short against Barcelona in recent years in important games and the 2.48 on Barcelona is great value.
