El Classico

We are already into the fourth El-Classico of the season after the recent Copa del Dey double-header and Barcelona have rarely been in a strong position against their biggest rivals.

Not only have they dumped them out of the cup, and are a full nine points ahead in La Liga, they also have a brilliant record in this fixture over recent years. Since 2016/17, Barcelone have won four El Classico's, drawn three and lost just two, and at the Bernabeu, they have come away with wins in five of the last seven meetings - most recently winning 3-0 on Wednesday night. The loss of Ronaldo has definitely left a hole that Madrid have yet to fill properly.

That has to make the 6/4 on Barcelona look enticing, and that's certainly on the shortlist.

Now let's have a look at some goals stats, which are quite frankly, remarkable. The last 28 El Classico matches have seen a whopping 24 feature goals from both sides. 28 / 28 have seen at least two goals and 25 of those have gone "Over 2.5 Goals". 14 (50%) have gone Over 3.5 Goals as well.

With all that in mind, i'm inclinded towards a Bet Builder with Bet365, who offer 11/4 on Barcelona to win and Both Teams to Score, and 9/2 on Barcelona to win, BTTS and Over 3 Goals in the match.
