Copa del Rey Final Barcelona vs Real Madrid – match analysis

El Clasico at Estadio Mestalla in Valencia will electrify football fans all over the world again. So far Barcelona has won Copa del Rey 26 times, Real Madrid has won 18 times.

In the last league match at the Santiago Bernabeu both teams has offered their fans a fantastic spectacle topped with seven goals. Will the scenario repeat itself? Bookmakers think that both teams have equal chance of winning (odds for Barcelona at 2,60, odds for draw 3,40, and odds for Real Madrid 2,60). Its hard not to agree with it, one match, two teams of the same level, still advantages for a particular team may be found. In my opinion one advantage is definitely referee Mateu Lahoz who is a good specialist and prefers tough matches. It can be a plus for Real Madrid. On the other hand there is Blaugrana which has won both league matches this year (2:1 and 3:4).
It is hards to write about injuries a week before a game, one suer thing is that Gerard Pique will be ready o play after an injury from a match against Atletico Madrid in Champions League.
I will not risk betting on win of one of the teams. According to he bookmakers the chances are equal. In my opinion the form of players will be crucial for the final success.

Direct matches statistics show that both teams feel best in attack. Average from the last 13 direct matches is 3.84 goals/match. Bookmakers for over 3 offer the odds of 2,00, for over 2.5 odds of 1,60. Although it is a final match and teams will be focused more on defence than attack I will play for over. Both teams are very strong so a high score would not surprising.
