El Clasico – Copa Del Rey 1st Leg Betting Tips

El Clasico - Copa Del Rey 1st Leg Betting Tips

It's the fourth time this season, 9th in since August 2010, but Real Madrid and Barcelona are to go head to head again. Barcelona have won four of the 9, Real Madrid have won the one, so bare that in mind when betting on this match. Here are my usual tips for this important match, the whole world will be watching.

Match Betting

This match could not be closer as the odds suggest. Real Madrid are 9/5 to win tonight, whilst Barcelona are 6/4. Let's not forget that this is only the first leg, and with it being at the Bernabeu, Barcelona would probably take the draw, giving them home advantage in the second leg. We all know these matches can be unpredictable, and with it being a cup, we are not 100% with the teams. I think that Real Madrid will win this one tonight, as Barcelona have been leaking more goals lately, and Real Madrid seem to win game after game, and they are due a home win against their rivals, since they haven't won in this fixture since 2008.

My Recommendation; Real Madrid win (9/5)

First Goal Scorer

I personally think this will be a low scoring match, and maybe just one goal will win it from a set piece. With the amount of talent on show, that may seem silly, but one goal from a Real Madrid defender will win this match, but this is just a hunch. Messi and Ronaldo are 7/2, Iniesta is 16/1. However, I'm going for Sergio Ramos.

My Recommendation; Sergio Ramos (33/1)

Correct Score

As mentioned in the section above, I don't think that there will be many goals, I think it could easily be 1-0 to either side. Having said that, with the amount of quality, and the fact that it's only a Copa Del Rey, they maybe goals goals and more goals in this one. 3-2 to Real Madrid is 20/1 or 2-4 to Barcelona is 40/1. Anything can happen in this matches, so make the most of it, have a few guesses and hopefully you can pull a great bet off.

My Recommendation; Real Madrid 1-0 (8/1)

To Qualify

This is who will win other both legs. Real Madrid are11/8 to progress, with Barcelona favourites at 8/15. It's going to be close, but with Real Madrid winning the final last year, Mourinho may be hoping to focus on the league even more. The second leg at Camp Nou is another boost for Barcelona, so I will go for them with this one.

My Recommendation; Barcelona to Qualify (8/15)

Specials;
Barcelona to win at half time, but lose at full time (22/1)
Lionel Messi to score at any time (10/11)
Ronaldo to score a hat trick (16/1)
There to be 0-1 goals in this match (3/1)
Result after 75minutes (7/4)

Good luck betting, and we all hope for a classic El Clasico!
