Barcelona vs Real Madrid Betting Tips: Goals and cards likely in first El Clasico of the season

This fixture usually supplies plenty of entertainment and our tipster is expecting no different in this 15/2 selection using bet365’s Bet Builder tool

One of the biggest games in world football takes place on Wednesday night as Barcelona host Real Madrid in the first Clasico of the season.

Both teams are deadlocked on 35 points at the top of La Liga after 16 games, giving these rivals even more incentive than just bragging rights.

Using bet365’s Bet Builder, which allows users to combine multiple selections from the same game, our tipster has put together a bet that pays out at 15/2 (8.50).

Sergio Busquets to be booked, Sergio Ramos to be booked, Luis Suarez to score anytime, Over two goals in the match.

Given the fiery nature of the match, yellow cards are almost a certainty in El Clasico.

Last season’s four clashes across La Liga and the Copa del Rey saw a total of 18 dished out, with Real Madrid captain Sergio Ramos picking up a booking on two occasions.

The centre-back’s reputation for being yellow carded has actually tempered in recent seasons but it tends to flare up against Barca, with Ramos being booked an astonishing 18 times and sent off a further five times in El Clasico.

Indeed, he has been booked in six of the last nine La Liga meetings between these two rivals and was given his marching orders in one of those other three.

Another player with a penchant for drawing the referee’s attention, Sergio Busquets has already served a yellow card suspension this season after being handed five in his first 11 appearances.

The Barcelona midfielder has been booked 12 times in his 34 appearances against Real Madrid, including in each of the last four seasons.

In the goals market, Lionel Messi would be the obvious selection but Luis Suarez has been the man to back since his move to Barcelona in 2014.

The former Liverpool forward has struck nine times in just 10 Liga fixtures against Barca’s eternal rivals, including a hat-trick in the 5-1 win over Real at Camp Nou last season.

Finally, there are usually plenty of strikes when these sides lock horns and with 76 league goals between them this season, there is little suggestion this fixture won’t follow suit.

Just four of the last 19 Clasicos have seen two goals or fewer and it would have paid out in all seven of Barcelona’s league matches at Camp Nou this term.
