Real Madrid v Barcelona Betting Preview: Ronaldo, Messi and Suarez lead the betting to score at the Bernabeu

Between them Cristiano Ronaldo and Lionel Messi have broken almost every record possible and Saturday afternoon will seem them face off once more in El Clasico.

Messi of course is the top scorer in the history of this fixture with 24 goals while Ronaldo is on 17, although another strike this weekend would see the current Ballon d'Or holder draw level with Real Madrid legend Alfredo Di Stefano in second place on the all time Clasico scorers list.

The usual suspects dominate the betting

Playing at home means that Ronaldo is the slight favourite to find the back of the net over Messi with the Portuguese forward offered at evens (2.00) with Betfair to score and the Argentina international available at 11/10 (2.10). Those two lead the betting along with Luis Suarez who is also priced at 11/10 (2.10) while Karim Benzema can be backed at 7/5 (2.40) to get his name on the scoresheet at the Bernabeu.

Big guns to deliver once more

Ronaldo comes into the game on his best scoring streak of the season having netted in each of his last four matches, while Messi is La Liga's top scorer on 14 goals this term. Suarez meanwhile seems to have turned a corner after a difficult start to the campaign with four goals in his last four matches and Benzema has an excellent scoring record in this fixture netting nine times against the Catalans in his career.

Tips and predictions 

Backing one of the four players mentioned to get on the scoresheet naturally makes sense, but bolder punters could well be rewarded by backing them to go one better and score two or more. Ronaldo, Messi and Suarez are all offered at 9/2 (5.50) to net a brace while Benzema is priced at 6/1 (7.00) and all four men have scored braces in this fixtures over the last four seasons.
