El Clasico Betting: Back Real Madrid to Secure Memorable Nou Camp Win

​For all the criticism leveled at recently returned Real Madrid boss Zinedine Zidane it would be easy to forget that his Bernabeu side sit at the top of La Liga. Yes, top.

So what’s all the fuss about?

Many have questioned the performances put in by Zidane’s men this season and while its true they have labored at times, you could read this another way. You could take this to mean that even when not at their best, Real Madrid are showing the character to get results.

It’s also worth noting this is a Real Madrid side that 18 months on from losing arguably the best footballer that has ever lived, Cristiano Ronaldo, to Juventus. That’s a departure that should not be ignored lightly. Can you imagine where Barcelona would be if Lionel Messi was suddenly not around to net 50+ goals a season!

Now might be the right time to back Real Madrid to win against their big rivals and at BetOnline you can get 3/1 El Clasico online betting odds on Zidane’s coming away from the Nou Camp with all three points.

At Xbet there is 119/20 offered on Real Madrid winning at half-time and full-time, and given how average Ernesto Valverde’s side have looked this term, that’s tempting to say the least.

Real Madrid have come through a testing first couple of months in the Spanish top tier but are unbeaten in eight, whereas Barcelona have already slipped to losses at Bilbao and Granada.

New signing Eden Hazard has got his goalscoring boots on and some injured stars are starting to make their way back to Real Madrid’s starting eleven and even Gareth Bale isn’t getting booed quite so much by the club’s fans, so all is looking good for a decisive win in El Clasico.
