Expect Messi to score in El Clásico | Majid Mohamed | Independent Sport Latest analysis on the S
Barcelona pretty much bossed La Liga last season and they haven?t lost to Real Madrid since 2008. But this season Jose Mourinho has his Madrid unit ?purring? and they are three points clear of their arch rivals with a game in hand. It?s something of a surprise that Barcelona have struggled a bit this season especially away from home, where they have drawn three and lost one of their six games. But it could be a sign that all is not well in the camp ? they are rumours that Lionel Messi and David Villa are not on speaking terms.There are so many match winners on the pitch it?s hard to call the result and the bookies agree. Oddschecker has 16/11 as the best price about the home side; 15/8 the top price Barcelona and 5/2 best price the draw, with the latter my own fancy.
