Madrid v Barca – Saturday, March 2 at 19:45 GMT
Barca the heavy favourites
They say form goes out the window in El Clasico. But this season that’s really not been the case. Barca have been a class above Madrid all season and this match in the Bernabeu should really be no different.

On Wednesday night Barca demolished Madrid in the Copa del Rey. A 3-0 victory in the Bernabeu embarrassed the current European champions and showed just how dominant Barca are in Spain right now.
Football betting fans should expect a similar showing here. Madrid boss Santiago Solari has barely improved this squad since Julen Lopetegui was sacked. And they are particularly suspect up front right now.
Barca are 2.47 to win this game and that is a good price — even if proceedings are taking place at the Bernabeu. If you want to back Madrid, they are 2.75 for the win.
Luis Suarez first goalscorer
It’s fair to say Luis Suarez is enjoying life against Madrid right now. The Uruguay international scored twice in the 3-0 win over Wednesday and now boasts FIVE goals against Los Blancos this season alone.
Yes, Lionel Messi may have not scored against Madrid since May 2018. But who needs him with Suarez on this sort of form? Barca can afford Messi to have an off day and Suarez is 6.00 to score first — a great price.

Not that Suarez will necessarily last the whole game. Barca have a Champions League clash with Lyon coming up next week and the striker may therefore be withdrawn around the hour mark. Consider, therefore, Philippe Coutinho as a strong outside bet at 9.00 to score last in the Bernabeu.
As for Madrid, Gareth Bale and Karim Benzema are each enduring a miserable time of it right now. A better bet may be to go with Casemiro, who boasts three goals in 2019 and is priced at 7.50 to net at any time.
Yellow card betting – Sergio Ramos
It does sometimes feel like shooting fish in a barrel — but Sergio Ramos to be booked on Saturday is once again the banker bet for this game.
Ramos was booked for the 275th time in his playing career in the Copa del Rey against Barca on Wednesday. In La Liga, he averages a yellow every 2.3 matches.
Ramos has now been booked in 17 of his 41 appearances against Barca, a rate of one yellow every 2.4 Clasicos. He is worth backing to be carded, especially with Madrid suffering torrid form right now.
