Madrid is the clear favorite over Barcelona in this matchup, with many fans eagerly expecting the El Classico. The Madrid team is currently the most complete one in Europe. Barca will battling for a draw with Madrid in the El Classico.
Benzem Karim has returned from injury, but his recent performances have not been stellar. He will undoubtedly make a stronger comeback for the El Classico match.
Since Robert Lewandowski's play at Barcelona has been outstanding, the Madrid defense needs to be extremely cautious around him. He has magical feet that allow him to score at any time.
I believe Madrid will triumph 3:2.
I also think that Real Madrid is the obvious favorite in this game, but the bookies think otherwise, which is quite funny considering the "death sandwich" that Barcelona got into: Inter - Real - Bayern. All three games are the most important - do the bookmakers really think that Barcelona is strong enough to be successful in these three games at once? In my opinion, this is an obvious mistake.
The current odds are 2.29 for Madrid and 3.05 for Barcelona.
Regardless of who is underdog these are still very tempting odds right now.
Madrid are playing at home so they are the favorites in this match but judging by Barcelona's unyielding performance as shown against Inter a few hours ago it is clear that this is still an obstacle for Madrid although I personally believe in them in this El Clasico.
