Um, Barcelona already confirmed that Pinto is playing tomorrow. I don't see how that would benefit Barcelona in anyway.

Colts- yeah, it doesn't look to well. some sources say that he'll be fit for the game tomorrow, others are saying that it looks rather doubtful. But if Pepe doesn't play tomorrow, its not going to look good for Madrid. Im a Real Madrid fan, and frankly I have never liked Pepe, but we just simply dont have any coverage back there since Ricardo Carvalho is stilll out, on top of Arbeloa, who is suspended and Kherida is out too. Perhaps Albiol could provide sufficient coverage if Pepe doesnt play.

Yeah, but this is the Copa del Rey, and Real Madrid are the defending champions. I don't think that they will want to go down again with Barcelona at home after what happened in December. Real Madrid knows what they need to improve on and what they need to in order to get a positive result out of this. They have some positives and some negatives coming into this match.

Positives: 
- The fact that they are the current defending champions and are in 1st place in La Liga could prove to be extra motivation for them to go out there and outright win this game. 

- Jose Mourinho has won everything at every club he has been too his 2nd year, and by the looks of it, it seems like it might actually happen this year. 

- The "Callejon" Factor: With Cristiano Ronaldo struggling to "put the team on his back" whenever they play Barcelona, its up to the other clutch players to show up and make a mark. When thinking of another player who can mark the difference, Jose Callejon can easily live up to this. His goal to game ratio is just extraordinary, and if he starts for the injured Di Maria, I have no doubt that he could make the difference for Real Madrid, which could just be what C. Ronaldo needs in order for everyone not to pay that much attention to him and make his own personal impact on the match. 

Negatives:

- Real Madrid have to psychologically surpass the limitations that they have whenever they face Barcelona. They have the quality to do so, it just comes down to the mentality that they should have for the full 90 mins, not just the first 45. If they can believe that they can press Barcelona back for the full 90 even if they start with their touches, they can force and error and capitalize on it like they did last game. 

-The Red Card Game: Being that all Classicos are intense and that many times Barcelona will try to provoke a booking to their opponents with their acting and complaining as a unit, Real Madrid cannot fall into their little games. They need to have the class to let Barca complain and complain and not get involved at whatever cost. Although thus might be the hardest thing to do, if this can be done it will prove to be a major advantage for Madrid as Barca will fail to reduce Madrid to 10 men as it has always been done.

- Injuries and Suspensions: with Ricardo Carvalho, Arbeloa, Kherida and possibly Pepe out for this game, Real Madrid will have to be on their toes when defending and not make any silly mistakes such as timing their tackles and man marking (Coentrao, I'm talking to you...). If Sergio Ramos can command his defenders at the back correctly and successfully, it will be hard for players like Alexis Sanchez or Fabregas to work their talent towards Casillas' goal.

If this can be done, and Real Madrid pressure and pressure Barcelona from min 1 to 90, then they should come out with the result that they are looking for...A WIN. 
BOL to all, and hopefully this can prove to be a great match...with Real Madrid getting the win of course. Anything less than that can prove to be costly later on at the second leg.

I've had shitty luck lately. Could use some help.

Which of these bets have the best chances. I plan on parlaying a couple and single betting some.

Real Madrid goals - Over 1.5 2.25

Barcelona goals - Over 1.5 2.25

Real Madrid/Barcelona - Total Goals Over 2.5 1.72

To score at any time - Lionel Messi 1.90

o score at any time - Cristiano Ronaldo 1.90

Both teams to score - Yes 1.61

Thanks in advance!

This is a 2 leg Copa Del Rey matchup....The most used  game plan in such a structure is for the Visiting team to sit back a bit and let the game come to them. They will look for 1 away goal and be content heading home in the reverse fixture with hopefully no more then a one goal deficit.  The home team on the other end knows that a result is vital and that a clean sheet is even more important.

Form seems to favour Real Madrid at the moment...with Barcelona struggling a bit away from home. Only a 3-4-1 record with only a +3 goal differential(Primera)...not as potent as previous seasons.

My  will be placed on Real Madrid PK..(Draw No Bet)




Which ever side you decide to take in El Classico.

I know everyone's on the over, but I'd have to agree with BigGameBubba's assessment.

Mourinho is a cerebral manager and will look at this as a TWO legger.   They won't go for broke in this match.   There are talks that Pepe may play in front of the back line, and I can not see him getting another red card.   He is a very influential player and in the match last year where he got sent off, the game turned the minute that happened.

A lot of people are expecting a goalfest, but these are the two BEST teams in Spain, they have formidable backlines, and have offenses that have been struggling as of late (Barca struggling away, Madrid needing comebacks at home)....what makes you think that BOTH teams' form changes for the better when playing against a side that is light years better than the rest of the clubs in la liga.

The Super Cup and the league match this year provided over 2.5 but over the 5 matches played last year, 4 ended under 2.5 (with Barca winning 5-0 in one of the matches).  

This will be a tight affair, could very well go over....but I'd like to think two very strong teams will play a cagey match that may underwhelm at the Bernabeu....

U 2.5  Evens
RM PK  -115
Draw  +210

(quick betting question, how do I wager on the RM PK and Draw to ensure I make a profit if either happen??  still learning money management....)

thanks!

ayjayvolta....with your current lines...you will need to play 76.7% of your total wager on the RM PK and 23.3% on the Draw. This is the case if your looking to make the exact same profit on both outcomes. Otherwise profit will be gained in both scenarios(assuming Barca does not win) if your RM PK wager is at least 15% larger than your Draw wager...

Not to lose wagers are also available and are juiced pretty high.
