The second leg of the Copa Del Rey kicks off tonight, and the bookies are backing Barcelona and Real Madrid to make the final.
Real Madrid and Barcelona could meet in the Copa Del Rey final for an 8th time. Atlético and Sociedad are outsiders; here are the outrights.
| Team | Odds | Bookmaker |
|---|---|---|
| Real Madrid | 4/5 | Betway |
| Barcelona | 11/4 | BetVictor |
| Atlético Madrid | 7/2 | BetVictor |
| Real Sociedad | 50/1 | bet365 |
The second legs take place tonight and tomorrow and are full of betting opportunities, especially since no team ran away with the first leg.
Tonight. Real Madrid hosts Real Sociedad. Madrid are firm favourites with the match odds reading 11/25 for Real Madrid and 21/4 for Real Sociedad as a win bet on bet365.
If we’re talking about value bets, these are the markets we think could get you the best results:
| Market | Odds | Bookmakers |
|---|---|---|
| Half Time/Full Time: Real Madrid – Real Madrid | 11/10 | bet365 |
| Both teams to receive 2+ cards | 7/4 | bet365 |
| Real Madrid to win both halves | 23/10 | Coral |
Madrid will likely dominate at home, so most markets backing Real Madrid will offer some value. It’ll be a fiery affair, though, and Real Sociedad will throw everything at Madrid, so we expect plenty of cards. But we think Real Madrid's firepower is too strong to handle.
The first leg ended 1-0 for Madrid but was closely contested. The odds to qualify are 1/20 for Los Blancos, and a whopping 10/1 for Sociedad at bet365. Too low to bet on, but good to know how the bookies are seeing it.
Tomorrow. Atletico Madrid hosts Barcelona. Last match was a 4-4 thriller, so it’s still all to play for. Barcelona are still favourites, but the odds are close. Coral has given Atletico 9/5 odds and Barcelona 69/50 to win.
Expect cards, lots of corners, and huge opportunities for a bet builder with such a close game. Here are the markets that have caught our eye.
| Market | Odds | Bookmaker |
|---|---|---|
| Both Teams to Score | 1/2 | Parimatch |
| Raphinha Goal or Assist | 9/10 | bet365 |
| Over 9 corners | 4/5 | bet365 |
| Over 4 cards | 11/25 | bet365 |
At 7/10 to qualify with bet365, we’ve got to back Barca. The market could be a safe bet if you’re expecting another draw in 90 minutes.
Barcelona have been scoring like mad. A +54 goal difference in LaLiga is evidence of that. They’re also unbeaten in 20 matches, 17 of which were wins.
Atletico have the strongest defensive record in the league, but have conceded 9 goals in 3 games against Barce this season. They managed to score 8 to be fair.
