Barcelona to Win<\/strong><\/td>\n4\/5 @ Bet365<\/a>
(55.6%)<\/td>\n		\u2b50\u2b50\u2b50\u2b50<\/td>\nWe are backing Barcelona to win because of their outstanding home form (29 wins from 34 games), a league-best 89 goals scored, and consistently high possession stats. Their creative engine has produced 115 big chances and 1,254 touches in the opposition box, overwhelming most visiting sides.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
Both Teams to Score: Yes<\/strong><\/td>\n3\/10 @ Bet365<\/a>
(76.9%)<\/td>\n		\u2b50\u2b50\u2b50<\/td>\nThere could be value here due to both teams\u2019 attacking strengths: Barcelona average 2.6 goals per game, while Real Madrid have found the net 70 times. Both teams have scored in 7 of their last 10 head-to-heads, and with attacking stars like Mbapp\u00e9 and Lewandowski, another goal-fest is likely.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\n
