Barcelona v Real Madrid
This sports betting tip was written by Sandy on May 3rd, 2011 at 16:56
Over 6.5 cards in the match.
Well everyone knows what went on in the 1st game. Both sides lost their discipline and a very soft red card handed Barca the advantage. I think you have to be fair and say the goals they scored were of the very highest standard but it wouldnt have been so one sided had Real not been down to 10 men. Barca certainly got a break.
I guess most people give Real no chance here but im not so sure. The 1st goal is important in all games but this fixture more so. If Barca get it then its probably a case of how many but if Madrid were to score there would be a bit of panic. The Special one will have to come up with some positive tactics this time though- sitting back is not option- they have to grab the 1st goal.
These games are so difficult to referee almost impossible. There is things going on off the ball- both teams trying to wind each other up- diving play acting and despite the class on show some pretty nasty challenges. I think there will be plenty of cards in this match. Real go into this one angry about the 1st leg and feeling as though the breaks are allagainst them. Barca dont want to give that 1st goal away and must show they are physical enough to handle Madrid aggression.
I expect plenty of cards so i go with 7 or more as this will no doubt be a little naughty once again.
over 6.5 cards with wh at evens.
