REAL MADRID V BARCELONA PREDICTIONS AND PREVIEW: BETTING STATS AND FACTS

Copa del Rey semi-finals and collapse of the titans. It’s the clash of the giants, the best of the best. This epic battle is always one of the top games to watch every year. Real Madrid and Christiano Ronaldo against Barcelona and Messi. Around 80.000 people at Santiago Bernabeu will see a fight between maybe the best two players in the world. Both Ronaldo and Messi are in great shape like always. These two teams have met 50 times and Barcelona winning 22 of them, Real Madrid 13 of them and 15 games ended with a draw. These games never end goalless, an amazing 152 goals in 50 games says it all. Barcelona is the favourite in this match-up.

Real Madrid, where to start? This amazing team have only lost two of their last FORTY home games at Bernabeu. Both time they lost was against the guests Barcelona 1-3 (10/12/11) and 1-2 (18/01/12). They won La Liga last season and Christiano Ronaldo scored an amazing 46 goals in the league but still lost to Messi who did 50 goals. Christiano Ronaldo is second in La Liga this year as well with 21 goals so far, he did his 100^th goal at Bernabeu last game against Getafe. Real Madrid have won the Copa del Rey 18 times.

Jose Mourinho has a lot of problems with the squad going in to this “El Clasico” Iker Casillas, goalkeeper of Real Madrid and the national Spanish team has a broken hand and he is replaced by Antonio Adan. Pepe is out of an ankle injury, Sergio Ramos, Fabio Coentrao and Angel Di Maria all serve suspensions. Real Madrid ranked 3^rd in the standings in La Liga this season.

Probable line-up:

Adan
Arbeloa, Albiol, Varane, Marcelo
Khedira, Alonso
Ozil, Modric, Ronaldo
Benzema

Barcelona arguably the best team in the world. Messi and Barcelona have won it all. Barcelona ranked 1^st in the standings in La Liga this year, finished second last year and won Copa del Rey last year. Lionel Messi in awesome shape, 33 goals in 21 matches is just insane.  He did four of their five goals against Osasuna two nights ago.

 Gerard Pique returns from a suspension completing the Barcelona squad, they don’t have any injuries and coming in to this Clasico with a full healthy squad. They recently lost the first and only game in La Liga, 19 wins, one draw and one loss so far. Pedro will make his 200^th appearances for Barca.

Probable line-up:

Pinto
Alves, Pique, Mascherano, Alba
Xavi, Busquets, Fabregas
Pedro, Messi, Iniesta

REAL MADRID V BARCELONA  PREDICTIONS: 1X2 BETTING PREVIEW

Even though I’m a big Real Madrid fan , will I not be able to bet against a devastating Barcelona. Although Barcelona haven’t performing at their best defensively lately I still feel that there amazing offensive firepower will carry them home. Real Madrid without Ramos, Pepe and Coentrao will have a tough task to keep the star Messi locked down for 90 minutes. Real Madrid awesome at home soil but still struggling in the La Liga, four losses isn’t nothing like last year’s performance when they only lost two games in the entire season and struck a record high 100points season. Messi and Barcelona for the win again at Bernabeu.

Back Barcelona at 2.19 with Betsson for the win.
