Barcelona vs Real Madrid Betting Tips: El Clasico Bet Builder Picks & Best Odds

Barcelona vs Real Madrid Bet Builder:


A Bet Builder that comprises of these three selections will earn you odds of around 5/1 with Bet365.

The first El Clasico of the season takes place this Saturday, with Barcelona playing the role of hosts to Carlo Ancelotti’s Real Madrid, although the match will be played at Estadi Lluis Companys due to the continued work on Camp Nou.

While football betting sites slightly favour the home team, there's not much separating these two sides in the current campaign. As a result, we've crafted an appealing Bet Builder for you to consider.

Madrid sit top of La Liga, albeit only on goal difference, with Barcelona hot on their tails just a point behind them in third.

Nevertheless, after securing their 27th league title and prevailing in this fixture last season, Xavi will hope for a repeat performance.

In their most recent competitive match, Real Madrid secured a convincing 4-0 victory and they will believe that the addition of Jude Bellingham could play a pivotal role in securing another three points on the road.

El Clasicos consistently showcase the best of Spain's top two teams, and we anticipate nothing less this time, with millions of viewers expected to tune in for this exhilarating clash between two Spanish giants.

Over 2.5 Goals

The previous three fixtures between these teams saw the over 2.5 goal threshold exceeded, and we foresee a similar scenario this Saturday, as both teams are currently in excellent form.

Furthermore, three out of the last eight meetings resulted in either a 3-0 or 4-0 scoreline in favour of one of the sides. 

Given the potential for another dominant victor, we've chosen to focus on this market on betting sites instead of both teams scoring.

Barcelona are the only team in La Liga that remain undefeated this season, boasting a record of seven wins and three draws. 

They've also managed to find the back of the net in all but one of their 10 games, which gives us confidence in their ability to breach Real Madrid's defence.

In a similar vein, Real Madrid have scored in all 10 of their league matches, and with the opportunity to extend their lead at the top of the La Liga, Carlo Ancelotti's side will be eager to continue their goal-scoring form.

The spotlight shone on 17-year-old Marc Guiu, who made an immediate impact by scoring just 23 seconds after coming off the bench against Athletic Bilbao. 

Given his performance, the prospect of a similar electrifying start if he were to be included in the starting lineup against Barcelona's arch-nemesis is undoubtedly exciting.

Both sides are averaging in excess of two goals a game and if this trend continues, it will tick off the first of our three selections in this Bet Builder.

Jude Bellingham Over 0.5 Shots On Target

Jude Bellingham

Jude Bellingham is rapidly establishing himself as one of the world's top players, seamlessly adapting to life in Spain. 

When the 20-year-old made the €103 million move from Borussia Dortmund during the summer, not even the most optimistic Real Madrid fans could have anticipated the start he has had.

The midfield maestro currently leads the goal-scoring charts in La Liga, having notched eight goals and provided two assists in just nine appearances for his new club.

Bellingham is justifying his option to don the number five jersey that was once worn by the legendary Zinedine Zidane, and his impact is unprecedented at such a young age.

With the former Birmingham man adapting to life so well in the Spanish capital, we expect him to flourish on the big stage yet again and potentially pop up with a match defining moment.

Bellingham is averaging 1.76 shots on target per game this season, and with betting apps requiring just one for this to be marked down a winner, it seems all but certain that he will call the keeper into action on Saturday.

Gavi To Be Carded

In a match as significant as El Clasico, cards are almost a formality, with fans appreciating the passion and intensity displayed by their teams.

In line with this, we expect the home side to display a strong presence in this tie as they strive to gain control over the formidable Real Madrid team.

Gavi, with five yellow cards from 12 appearances in a Barcelona shirt this season, stands out as a prime candidate for a booking, particularly considering his caution in their Copa Del Rey clash with Madrid last season.

A product of the Barcelona academy, Gavi is not one to shy away from the physical aspects of the game, and with his expected start in midfield, he may be tasked with the challenging role of containing the beaming Bellingham.

Should his opponent gain too much freedom in the early stages of the match, the home fans are sure to voice their dissatisfaction, and a robust tackle from Gavi could be the spark needed to ignite Barcelona.

It's worth noting that Gavi received a yellow card in his most recent league match against Bilbao, and given the circumstances, he is a strong candidate to add to his tally for the season. 

On top of this, less than a month ago, he even received two bookings resulting in a red card in the Champions League match against Porto which could be a possibility here against an arch-rival.
