Ronaldo to score anytime the best bet in El Clasico

In the same way the NBA, the NHL and the MLB in US sports have a seven game series to decide which is the best team perhaps La Liga should consider a 39 game series between Barcelona and Real Madrid. Interest is always so high when these two sides do battle.

Saturday at 17:00 (GMT) these two sides do battle in a game that I imagine will have a lot more viewers than the Southampton and Fulham game on the other channel. Bookmakers make Barcelona the 17/20 (STAN JAMES) favourites for the game and the Catalans have made a strong start to the Spanish domestic season winning eight and drawing one of their nine games so far. The only disappointment came in a 0-0 draw with Osasuna where they dominated position but without Lionel Messi could not get the goal they needed. The Argentinian is back though for this crucial encounter and the Catalans are deserved favourites.

Real Madrid are available at 7/2 (sportingbet/william hill/betway) to win the game and they can take heart from their record in the recent head-to-head battles between the pair going five games unbeaten against their rivals and they are 7/2 (sportingbet/william hill/betway) for all three points here.

Madrid fans can also take heart from the way that PSG played against Barcelona last season in the Champions League. The French side managed then by Ancelotti were impressive against the Catalans only going out on the away goals rule. The Italian has better players at his disposal this time around and he will be confident he can lead Madrid to a good result.

I think the price mean that Madrid must be sided with and the best way to do is get the draw on side as this has been the result in five of the last 12 meetings between the pair. It is 13/11 (BETVICTOR) Real with a 0.5 start on the Asian Handicap which will pay out on a Madrid win or if this game ends in a draw.

Those looking for an anytime scorer bet will be interested in two key players, Lionel Messi who is 8/11 (CORAL) to score at anytime and Cristiano Ronaldo who is a 4/3 (888 SPORT/unibet) chance to net during the game. Messi has five in the last six meetings between the teams while he has eight league goals this season. If the Argentinian gets a goal here he will bypass Alfredo Di Stefano as the top scorer in the history of Clasicos with 18. Ronaldo is the main man for a Real side who have managed to net in every game with Barcelona since the 5-0 demolition in 2010. The Portugal star has grabbed at least one goal in each of his last six visits to the Nou Camp and eight in total. A player of his quality should not be as big as 4/3 so be sure to get on.

In addition take the 13/5 (bet365) that Ronaldo is the first player to score for his team as the player has scored ten of the last 17 goals that Madrid have netted.

The most popular score in the correct score market is the 2-1 Barcelona which is a 17/2 chance with BETVICTOR who at the time of writing were equal best or outright best on all ten of the top scores in the correct score market. I think this game is more likely to end in a draw and perhaps a high scoring one so for entertainment consider a interest on both 2-2 (14/1-BETVICTOR) and 3-3 (40/1-GENERAL).
