Recent Clasicos in the Spanish capital have seen a cagey opening 45 minutes and our tipster thinks backing a repeat offers good value at the Bernabeu
The second Clasico in the space of three days takes place at the Bernabeu on Saturday, as Real Madrid face Barcelona in La Liga.
On Wednesday Ernesto Valverde's side recorded a 3-0 win in the Spanish capital over Los Blancos to book their place in the final of the Copa Del Rey.
Another win for the Blaugrana this weeked would see them move 12 points clear of Santiago Solari's men in La Liga and deliver a knockout blow to Madrid's title hopes.
Barcelona were favourites on Wednesday and they are well-fancied once more, with bet365 pricing them at 13/10 (2.30) for the win. The Catalans have emerged victorious in four of their last five trips to the Bernabeu, scoring 13 goals in those four wins.
Madrid meanwhile have lost back-to-back home matches for the first time in eight years. Los Blancos have not lost three in a throw in front of their own fans since 2004. A home win is priced at 9/5 (2.80) with the draw at 11/4 (3.75).

Real Madrid could have a problem at centre-back with Rafael Varane picking up a knock on Wednesday and Nacho Fernandez suspended.
Barcelona may bring midfielder Arthur into the starting line-up with the Brazilian an unused substitute on Wednesday night.
The last meeting between these sides was a curious game, with Real Madrid arguably the better side for much of the encounter but ending up on the wrong end of a 3-0 scoreline. Los Blancos failed to take their chances while Barca were clinical in scoring three goals from two shots on target (their second goal being an own-goal).
Madrid have failed to score in three of their last five home Clasicos and will need to improve their effectiveness in front of goal against their biggest rivals. Valverde's side for their part have no need to risk anything, knowing that a draw would be an excellent result maintaining a healthy lead over the European champions.
Four of the last six Clasicos at the Bernabeu have been draws at half time and a repeat is priced at a tempting 7/5 (2.40). The previous two head-to-head meetings in Madrid have been goalless at half time and under 0.5 goals at the break is offered at 11/4 (3.75).
