Barcelona ‘welcome’ Real Madrid to the Camp Nou tonight in the second leg of their Copa Del Rey match, and in previewing this match we look at who will make it through to the next round.

Looking at the betting odds for El Clasico tonight, Barcelona are 1/2 (Bet365) to qualify for the next round while Real Madrid are 2/1 (YouWin).

The odds for the match tonight match Barcelona the 8/11 (Paddy Power) favourites, the draw is 16/5 (Sky Bet) and Real Madrid are a top price of 4/1 (Betfred) to win at the Nou Camp.

The first leg of this match finished 1-1 when a Cesc Fabregas opener was cancelled out by Varane in the last 10 minutes and despite Real Madrid struggling to keep tabs on Barcelona in La Liga, expect them to be fully wound up for tonight’s clash as Mourinho seems to have declared the title race over, focusing all his attention on this competition and the Champions League.

Barcelona are unbeaten at home in 22 matches since going down 2-1 to Madrid in the league last season while Real Madrid have already lost seven times on the road this season. In head to head El Clasico form Barcelona have won four of the last ten meetings, Real Madrid have won one and the other five have finished in a draw.

From a betting point of view, both teams have scored in the last 11 meetings and the last six at the Nou Camp. Both teams to score tonight is at odds of 9/20 (Betway). Eight of the last nine meetings have also seen three goals or more but the price of 2/5 is quite frankly a farce, the first leg ended 1-1 so there is certainly a bit of value ina  bet on under 2.5 goals at 2/1 with Ladbrokes.

As ever with this fixture Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo are dominating the goal markets, so we will look elsewhere and to David Villa (6/1 with William Hill to score first) who is coming back to form after his broken leg and long layoff.
