BETTING PREVIEW

Real Madrid came back to grab a 1-1 draw in their first leg with Manchester United, their big game, and must now try to focus for this Madrid derby against a side that will come here full of motivation. Rayo Vallecano have just beaten Atletico Madrid 2-1, and will be hoping they can get themselves another derby scalp.

Rayo Vallecano are the club that sold Michu to Swansea City, but they are still up in 6th place, just 9 points behind Real Madrid. They have gotten excellent service from Brazilian player Baptistao, who has scored 7 goals through 20 games.

I think it is Baptistao, not Ronaldo, that will provide the best value for your money when looking at the anytime goalscorer markets. As local rivals, this is a game Rayo have been looking forward to.

Rayo lost the last 2 meetings 2-0 and 1-0, both at home. The last time they visited the Bernabeu, they scored 2 goals, but it's not enough when Real hammered in 6! I think Real, who have not exactly been brilliant in defence, will concede, especially since they will be without their first choice goalkeeper. Without him they have conceded first to United, and were beaten 1-0 at Granada. Seville too got themselves a goal here.

That game against Seville ended 4-1, and we could see a similar score here, but the win odds are too low. We should maybe look to back the 1st half overs, or maybe go with the Over and Result double. Real to win and over 2.5 goals, or maybe both teams to score in a Real win.

THE BETTING VERDICT

Real have won the last 9 meetings, so I have no doubt they will tonk their rivals again. Goals should come, and with Rayo fully focused, I think they should help us out with a goal too.

I've given you a safer bet but I'm going to take a shot with Baptistao in this one at massive odds.
