Thoughts on Real-Barca Total Today?

samus82 · 05-03-11, 09:25 AM

I'm staying well clear but if I made a play it would be on the under.

WhiteEagle · 05-03-11, 09:35 AM

No bet for me, there can happend whatever. All previous games from this "4 games el clasico" were under. Barca will play from defense and will wait for breaks. Mayby I try halftime DRAW as in previous matches.

Its hard to say. If i had a gun to my head, i would go with the over, but its really unpredictable.

MoneylineExpress · 05-03-11, 10:31 AM

I like the over. I think Madrid is going to come out with an offensive mindset, which should leave gaps in their D. I think we see a 2-1, 2-2, 3-1 final score with Barcelona getting a lot of good looks.

Dumped on all my points on the under. May make a real bet on the under also.

Going with the draw.. it pays a lot!! Probably will loose but who knows, Barca can even lose by one and qualify so maybe they would go happy with a draw. I don't like playing over/under (is kind of red/black in the roulette) but if I have to chose one would be the under, Mourinhno can't afford to be humilliated again so he will probably play the same way he played on the first leg... lets hope its a boring 0-0

Wiscsportsfan92 · 05-03-11, 11:08 AM

Going to be a close game for sure..real hard to decide

jordigs · 05-03-11, 11:11 AM

Madrid will play a 0-0 game till 70', when they'll try to score and push to force the 0-2, but barça players are so good he can score any time. GL

Are you serious about this statement? It's easier to predict totals a lot of the time than the fixed match odds. I know you're entitled to your opinion but saying that totals in football is equilivant to a chance casino game is way off imo.

However, the draw is a good bet for a small punt. Good luck.

I like the Over...

isles71 · 05-03-11, 12:01 PM

This match is super hard to predict. But with Barcelona at home and the goal margin being big but not big enough, look for Barca to add on.

Out of all the times listed on soccerway that these two have played together only 3 time has the total gone over (3). Only 1 of those matches were played in Barc. The Greek has the total at (3)+115. Something doesn't smell right. Why is the total so high when these two have traditionally played 1-0 0-2 0-0 type matches? The obvious choice would be the under..... Which makes me want to take the over only because the under seems the correct pick.....UGH!!!! HELP!!

Three goals because of Real needing to score to over turn the deficit + public sees these two as goal scoring clubs.

Makes sense E.P. Thanx. As unconventional as it seems I think I'm going with the over(3)+115.Its probably a suckers bet. I've noticed almost all matches favoring the over went under, and likewise in opposite. So screw it!! I'm going against the grain. Break A Leg With Your Picks Today Guys!! Thanx again E.P.

yisman · 05-03-11, 01:23 PM

The total has to be three (or near it, like 2.5/3) considering the offensive talent and the fact that RM will be forced to be aggressive.

Also, consider that Ramos and Pepe are out.

Metalspined · 05-03-11, 01:26 PM

My calculations said 2-1 Barca, but I don't think that is even close to the truth. This game should go well under...

I am not betting on this game though, too much outside interference for this game to even be close to a real match...

RANDAZZO · 05-03-11, 01:28 PM

Draw or over

TheMoneyTree · 05-03-11, 01:49 PM

Bit of fun & interest:

Andres Iniesta (First Goalscorer) @ 18.5
Gonzalo Higuain (First Goalscorer) @ 13.5
Xabi Alonso (First Goalscorer) @ 70
Carles Puyol (First Goalscorer) @ 85
Ricardo Carvalho (First Goalscorer) @ 85
Xabi Alonso (Anytime Goalscorer) @ 27
Carles Puyol (Anytime Goalscorer) @ 34
Ricardo Carvalho (Anytime Goalscorer) @ 32

Well i can't say I wasn't warned.... Thank God I took the draw as well. Just not as much as I dropped on the total. Live to fight another day- Break A Leg Guys!!

BediMindtricks · 05-03-11, 03:53 PM

For me over/under is very tough to predict. That's why I said that. Its like someone else said the under was too tempting yesterday. But lets say that barca scored yesterday early in the first half (and they had MANY chances) Do you still think the match would have ended on the under?
Maybe comparing to a roulette was exagerated but for me its a bet I prefer to stay away.
