Real Madrid v Barcelona Predictions and Free Bet Tips
Real Madrid v Barcelona Match Preview
Although Real Madrid are currently kings of both LaLiga and the continent, there is a sense that Carlo Ancelotti’s men may see their anointment removed at the end of season. A sense that has permeated since the arrival of Kylian Mbappe to the Spanish capital.
There is absolutely no doubting the talents of the man who scored a hat-trick in the 2022 World Cup Final and has won countless prizes for PSG, there is a doubt as to where the French international fits within the current Real Madrid system.
Especially when they already have Vinicius Jr within their ranks and with the Brazilian set to scoop the 2024 edition of the Ballon d’Or on Monday, it was he who grabbed the headlines against Borussia Dortmund on Tuesday.
Los Blancos found themselves 2-0 down to the team they beat in the 2024 final months before and at that stage, any other team would be in a state of panic. Then again, not every other team has the Brazilian’s talents within their ranks.
Talents that would see the 24-year-old score three of the five unanswered goals that Real Madrid scored after the break. Talents that tee the team up rather nicely before the visit of Barcelona to the Santiago Bernabeu on Saturday.
24 hours later, Barcelona were doing their own teeing up for Saturday’s El Clasico and with manager Hansi Flick going up against a former employer in the form of Bayern Munich, it offered an alternative plotline to an already anticipated European clash.
Now though, the Catalan outfit will be anticipating their trip to Madrid after such a blistering display against the German giants. Former Leeds forward Raphinha on hand to score on a treble, Robert Lewandowski on hand to land the punctuation mark on a 4-1 win.
Two Spanish sides making light work of their German counterparts and these two Spanish sides are also making largely light work of their domestic rivals at the same time. As we enter the next chapter of El Clasico, the hosts sit second in the table and the visitors on top.
Going into this encounter, Barcelona find themselves three points clear of their nearest rivals, the only blot being the recent 4-2 loss to Osasuna and with that gap, they have the slight luxury of viewing this game as a do not lose rather than a must win.
But now it is time for the first of my two tips and because it is not make a break for Hansi Flick’s side, a draw would keep the status quo in place and the three-point gap to go with it. Therefore, I am backing the stalemate at odds of 3/1 with bet365.
In addition to this, I am not expecting this to be a bore draw and this is where the goals come into the equation. An equation that sees a final score of 2-2 at the Santiago Bernabeu converted into odds of 11/1 with William Hill.
