Have a risk-free bet on a Real Madrid red!
Real Madrid ended all four of this year's Clasicos with ten men and Jose Mourinho has had someone sent off the last five times that he has faced Barcelona, so odds of [2.54] on a player from either side being dismissed is one of the most appealing bets for the fifth and final showdown of the season.
Thanks to our special offer for those opening new Betfair accounts, you can bet up to £25 on this match and have your stake refunded if your punt proves unsuccessful. So if a red card is shown, you would land £38.50, but if miraculously all 22 men survive 90 minutes, you get your money back.
In terms of the overall outcome, Barcelona are rated [1.73] favourites to seal their spot in the Champions League Final by beating Real Madrid again at the Camp Nou, as they have done in the last three collisions there, the last the memorable 5-0 humiliation in November.
The visitors will be going all out though - as much as a Mourinho-led team can at least - in their bid to recover the two-goal deficit they face, with rumours circulating in Spain that they will start with two strikers. They are [4.3] to draw and [5.0] to win, while it is [17.5] that they somehow qualify.
An attacking approach from Real Madrid is likely to result either in an enthralling encounter or another embarrassing thumping, however if they do select a more adventurous eleven than they did in the capital then a flutter on over 3.5 goals for the first time in four meetings is advisable at [2.78].
