Over 40.5 points on cards.

Obviously this is tie everyone wanted to see and we were not upset when the 2 best footballing sides in europe were paired together in the draw.

Barca are on fantastic form in Spain and look a good bet for the title while Arsenal are hanging in there despite Chelsea and Man U leading the way.

There is a bit of history between the sides ofcourse Barca winning the CL beating Arsenal not so long ago.

Most wouldnt say these are 2 physical sides and they are not. But they do tend to pick up a lot of yellow cards if we look at the stats. Going forward both play some beautiful football but neither back 4 is that strong. I expect this game to be very fast with some super movement and passing from both sides. But i also believe there will be a bit of needle. Arsenal cannot stand back and watch Messi- they must get in and make tackle as soon as he gets on the ball. Thats why my bet tonight is for plenty of cards because with so much quality in both sides attack it seems certain both teams will fall foul of the official and pick up cautions.

If there is a red card there must be 2 yellows. No red then there has to be at least 5 yellows.
