Betting on Real Madrid
The Los Blancos went into the international break on a losing ground to the Catalans at the top of the La Liga standings, as they were humiliated to a 3-2 away loss to Sevilla, their first loss of the season. The game featured one of the most disappointing displays by the Los Blancos’ defense, which had just conceded just four goals in the entire season prior to the loss. In order to bounce back, head coach Rafa Benitez must prepare his defense for a better showing, give they’ll be facing Barcelona’s incredible striking force, led by Neymar Jr. and Luiz Suarez. This will be very crucial, considering the Catalans have been solid away from home this season, conceding only seven goals in their five away matches, and losing only two of those matches.
Betting on Barcelona
The biggest concern ahead of this contest is whether or not Lionel Messi will make a timely return from his knee injury and feature in the game. The Argentinian has been involved in eight of the last nine Barcelona goals against Real at Bernabeu in all competitions (five goals and three assists). So if Messi makes it to the starting lineup on Saturday, the Catalans will most likely have a great boost to the good work Suarez and Neymar have been doing in his absence.
