( votes)Quite simply, it’s the biggest club game in the world as football fans all over the globe prepare to settle back to watch what is sure to be another tense encounter between Real Madrid & Barcelona on Saturday. Let’s now take a look at some of the offers on the best football betting sites ahead of EL Clasico.
GOALSCORER MARKETS
There are no prizes for guessing who’s at the top of this list, with Portuguese striker Cristiano Ronaldo favourite to be the opening goalscorer on Saturday. With the fitness of Lionel Messi still the big talking point ahead of the game, Neymar Junior is the Barcelona player the betting exchanges favour to open the scoring, closely followed by his teammate Luis Suarez. Welsh wizard Gareth Bale is seen as Real Madrid’s back-up, should Ronaldo lose his touch on Saturday. Looking further down the list, Croatian midfielder Luca Modric is competitively priced at *7.00 to be an anytime scorer.
*1ST GOALSCORER ODDS:
Ronaldo 4.33
Neymar 5.00
Suarez 5.50
Bale 7.00
HALF TIME/FULL TIME MARKETS
With home advantage, Real start as slight favourites to win the game and they are also favourites to be leading at both half and full time. If you fancy an opposition win, then Barcelona are not that far behind. When Rafa Benitez’s Real Madrid side get their noses in front in a game, they tend to go on and win. But Saturday’s visitors are the toughest test yet for Los Blancos and Luis Enrique will be confident his men can silence the Santiago Bernabéu crowd.
