Sportsbook Prediction:

Did you see Barcelona playing Inter in Champions League? Fantastic play, just incredible!

Playing home in Nou Camp and against Real will be reason enough for Barca to be top motivated and play their best football. If they do so Guardiolas team is nearly unbeatable in my opinion

Real squad is in good shape - but Cristiano Ronaldo is not yet able to make the difference that would be needed to really challenge Barca

Therefore my pick is a straight win of Barca - Odd 1.85 @ EXPEKT... more info about expekt.com bonus here
