Real Madrid - Barcelona predictions

With bookies pricing a home win at 1.96, it’s clear the match may yet go either way. The hosts have a distinct advantage, of course, but both a draw and an away win are quite possible outcomes.

It would be a minor miracle for Barcelona to win at Real Madrid, and they’re likely aware of that. Though risky, such an outcome could bring solid profits thanks to the 3.87 price on most online sportsbooks.

Real Madrid had a rougher time of overcoming Mallorca than most betting predictions thought, but they came through in the end. The stalemate lasted for most of the match until they finally broke it in the second half and scored a deciding goal, which led to the 0:1 away win.

The away team’s latest La Liga performance ended in a narrow but sound HT/FT victory. To be fair, most bookmakers online considered them the favourites despite the home-field disadvantage, pricing their victory at 1.97.

The hosts have been careful not to let their goalscoring stats slip. They’ve scored more than 5 times during the last 3 matches, indicating consistent offensive results.

Barcelona have scored 6 times in their previous 3 games. If their attacking line continues the fine scoring form, the Over markets seem like a sure bet.

Real are on their way to a La Liga title if they keep up the pace, which they should be able to do against Barcelona. That said, the leading spots on the table are highly contested, and there’s time for things to go south.

Real Madrid already have a victory over Barcelona on their record. It happened earlier in this running season of the La Liga, marking them as the clear favourites for the upcoming showdown.

Though some punters may prefer more exciting options, the Under 3.5 Goals market is a solid opportunity for this fixture. It offers a surprisingly solid balance between risk and betting value – though the returns on their own aren’t much to look at.
