The first leg of the Copa del Rey semi-final between Real Madrid and Barcelona is sure to be an intense affair. Both sides have a lot to prove after their recent La Liga results and will be looking to gain the upper hand in the tie. Madrid have the home advantage and will be looking to take advantage of their strong home form, while Barcelona will be hoping to use their superior away record to their advantage.
I think the majority of sports punters are looking to bet on this match knowing the bookies are offering good odds. My bet today will be in favor of Real Madrid with Benzema and Vinni, The goals will be present tonight
Are any of you thinking about a goalless draw in this El Clasico match?
I think there is a good chance of a draw because Barcelona are very likely to come out stronger in defense instead of going out to attack. Even though so far Barcelona has had a high average ball possession in matches, so I think the absence of Lewandowski, Dembele and Pedri will only make them tend to consider a defensive strategy.
This is one of the things that makes the most sense for me to think about Barcelona's condition ahead of El Clasico, but after all it must be difficult to have an El Clasico match without a goal, but there is always the possibility of a draw.
Of course there will be but there is a small chance of a draw, I am of the opinion that of those who competed there will be winners.
Maybe there has been a lot of speculation about some injured Barcelona players not being so impressive in attack but I believe barcelona still has the potential for that while in defense there is no doubt they have tough defenders.
Real Madrid's players are fit, of course we know they will definitely dominate the game at home, this is the most difficult because El Clasico is always a tense game.
For me, this El Clasico will be competitive again and they will still be productive in their game.
