Barcelona – Real Madrid

After the win of Real in Israel last week against Maccabi things are quite clear in this group.Real Madrid and Barca will fight for the first place while Maccabi will try to win Alba and leave the competition without succeeding anything good this season.Barcelona at home is really “hot” and that forced the bookies to set a quite high line in my opinion if you think that is the original “el classico”.Maybe a 5-6 points line would be more fair here.Real according to the news does not face any problems and Barca will have Lakovic out once again but the Catalunians have learned to play without him so i just mention this information and this is not a reason that i am backing Real.The Madrid team will also have newcomer Kennedi Winston at the roster who was released by Turk Telekom and joined the Spanish squad.Maybe coach Plaza will give him some minutes as the American has experience in Euroleague playing for Panathinaikos last season.The two teams have met each other three times this year so there are not any secrets between them and this fact could lead in an even tougher much.If there was a special bet i would take Barca to win by 10 or less so Real +8 is a very good option IMO.
