It’s time for another El Clasico as Real Madrid host archrival Barcelona for the first leg of their Copa del Rey semi-final tie. Here are the best betting picks for this game.

The ultimate fixture in Spanish football holds on Thursday night as Real Madrid welcome Barcelona to the Santiago Bernabeu in the Copa Del Rey semi-final. Real Madrid advanced to the semi-finals with a 3-1 win over Atletico Madrid after extra time. 

Barcelona are coming off back-to-back losses, including their first league loss in 2023, having picked up a 1-0 defeat against Almeria over the weekend. Barcelona reached the semis after a 1-0 win over Real Sociedad in the quarterfinal. 

Ferland Mendy and David Alaba will miss out due to injuries, while Rodrygo remains doubtful for Los Blancos.

Xavi Hernandez will be without Ousmane Dembele and Pedri for this visit to the Bernabeu.

Real Madrid v Barcelona betting tips and odds

*The odds were correct at time of posting

Under 2.5 @ 1.92 odds on Bet9ja

Real Madrid will be up against a solid Barcelona defense that has conceded just eight goals in the league this season. With this being a game of two legs, both teams will be cautious, which might affect the goals. 

Barcelona Under 1.5 @ 1.35 odds on SportyBet

Barcelona have struggled to find the net in their last two games, and the Catalans might struggle for goals once more against Real Madrid. With Pedri and Dembele out, Barcelona are likely to struggle for creativity.  

Karim Benzema in action for Real Madrid

Karim Benzema to score @ 2.05

The French forward has scored in back-to-back games with Barcelona, and he has picked up his form this season. Benzema knows how to turn up in big games and will be playing in front.
