Barcelona vs Real Madrid Odds: The Breakdown
Barcelona has been rolling, as usual. They are tied atop La Liga with Real Madrid. But they are still heads-and-shoulders better than the rest of the league being led by the most dangerous forwards upfront.
Luis Suarez is the man in front and is still one of the league's most prolific goalscorers. He is flanked by Antoine Griezmann, the team's second-best forward next only to Lionel Messi. What more is there to say about Messi? He's en route to another historic season.
Barça's strength is still in their depth. We haven't even mentioned the likes of Ivan Rakitic and Sergio Busquets in the middle and a defense corps led by Gerard Pique and Clement Lenglet. In goal, Marc-Andre ter Stegen has been solid.
Real Madrid isn't to be outdone. Karim Benzema has been on a tear with 11 goals and 5 assists this season. Sergio Ramos continues to be the workhorse on defense leading the team in minutes while Casemiro, despite his controversies, has been a critical piece in the middle.
If Real Madrid is lacking anything, it's their injuries. Gareth Bale and Eden Hazard are banged up. Luka Modric, Toni Kroos, and others should step up.
Barça has the firepower up front and it's tough going against Messi. But Real Madrid, at these odds, is too good to look over. Despite their injuries and lack of scoring depth, they could pull a stunner here.
Barcelona vs Real Madrid: Prop Bets
It's a celebration when these soccer behemoths collide, so go crazy and take advantage of all the props that come with their meetings. Here are some soccer props to take a stab at (via SportsInteraction (SIA)):
Over +2.5 goals - 1.50
Chalk this. Whenever Barca and Real Madrid meet, goals follow. The two have combined for 41 goals in their last ten games for an average of four goals per meeting. The over has hit in nine of their last ten games and with how hot both Messi and Benzema have been, this one is once again going over.
Will Both Teams Score?: Yes - 1.53
Another prop to chalk. Out of the last ten contests, both teams have scored seven times. Real Madrid failed to score twice, Barca, once. But with how hot Messi and Benzema are, little risk for either team scoring a clean sheet.
Betting on Barcelona vs Real Madrid: What to Expect
The unexpected? Betting on Barcelona vs Real Madrid, especially with these odds could result in "business as usual" for chalkers (bettors who lean favourites) for glory for the brave who take a shot at Real Madrid. The enormity of this event is available with the top online sportsbooks.
