Why Bet on Barcelona?
This is the fourth time Spain’s two biggest clubs have played an exhibition match on American soil since 2017, and Barcelona have won every one so far. The Catalan club has a remarkable record in friendlies against their biggest rivals, losing just four of the 34 meetings and winning 21.
However, Barcelona is in transition once more, with Xavi leaving and handing the reins to former Bayern Munich boss Hansi Flick.
The team is also without some of their biggest stars, with the players who helped Spain win Euro 2024 given extra time off. But Robert Lewandowski has traveled to the States, and the veteran Pole will be out to prove he’s still a major force at the age of 35.
Why Bet on Real Madrid?
Real Madrid head into the new campaign looking in better shape after an incredible campaign that saw them win LaLiga and the Champions League.
Carlo Ancelotti’s men only lost two games in all competitions, both to city rivals Atletico and have boosted an already impressive squad with the signings of Kylian Mbappe and Brazilian wonderkid Endrick.
That makes them the team to beat in Spain and Europe in the coming campaign.
With Mbappe rested and missing out on the US tour, all eyes will be on Real Madrid’s other big capture. Brazilian kid Endrick showed he could handle the big occasion by scoring against England at Wembley, and will be out to make a splash on his Clasico debut.
Final Betting Analysis: Barcelona vs. Real Madrid
Neither team will be anywhere near their strongest, with so many stars not traveling to the USA. But there should still be some famous names in the line-ups to add a bit of glamour for American fans.
It might take time for these teams to click into gear with so many key players missing so backing most goals to come after the break is also a good idea. Even though this is friendly, there could be some tasty challenges, as the teams share a strong mutual rivalry.
Barcelona has kept the trend of winning most of their friendly clashes, and we expect it to happen once more here. We’ll go for a 3-2.
Go for a victory for Barça at 3.46. If you bet $100 at such odds, you could get $246 for a total payout of $346.
