An early finale or a new intrigue? El Clasico on 22Bet
Right now it’s Barça leading, Real coming second. Los Blancos lost the lead due to the recent defeat against Levante (1:0) and are now 2 points behind the blue and garnet team. Zidane’s team scored only 2 victories in the 6 matches in February (including the Champions League and the Copa de Rey), and the quality of their game wasn’t that impressive. In addition, Real Madrid sniper Karim Benzema takes a back seat to Barça’s captain Leo Messi by goals scored. With Leo’s 18 goals vs. Benzema’s 13, the latter scored only 2 goals in 2020 and has been silent for a month now.
Having defeated Eibar in the last round (Messi making poker in that match), Barcelona is holding the top position. In general, Barça is ready for El Clásico. The defender Gerard Piqué hurt his ankle in the recent Champions League match against Napoli, but avoided a serious injury and will be able to make an appearance against Real Madrid. Even the absence of Alba, Sergi, Roberto, Dembélé and Suarez isn’t tipping the scale in favor of Madrid much.
If history is any indication, the last 4 matches between the Spanish grand teams at the Bernabéu Stadium in the Primera ended with Barça winning. At the same time, Real Madrid did not score a single goal three times in these matches. The last match between the teams in December ended in a goalless draw, but this is a rare exception. In the last 6 games between Real and Barça in the Primera, 4 times three or more goals were scored. Both to score + Total Over 2.5 with odds of 1.85 in 22Bet line.
