Copa Del Rey - Barcelona v Real Madrid (1st Leg)


Those who say you can never have too much of a good thing are advised to tune into the fourth El Claisco of this current season already between Real Madrid and Barcelona, with the Catalans taken to inflict yet more woe upon Los Blancos and take a vital first leg lead in their Copa Del Rey semi-final. Barcelona lost out in the league last season by 9 points but have come back stronger than ever on all evidence with a record breaking start to La Liga this season. With 21 games gone they have an astonishing 51 points and have scored 71 goals, a new La Liga record. For those who might have some worries about the fact this game comes at the Bernabeu, Barcelona have scored 37 goals on the road this season as well.

Madrid have raised themselves for the big games this season – they won the Supercopa after trashing Barcelona for a good half an hour which could and most likely should have reaped more than the two goals that won them the tie – but 15 points separates them in the league and Barcelona have to be the value call tonight.  Barcelona's last three wins in the Clasico have all seen them come from behind, so the both teams to score and Barcelona to win option might be value, along with the 11/4 on them to win by 1 goal.

Advice

1 pt Barcelona to win by one goal (11/4 Blue Sq)
