You Can Bet that Barcelona Will Thrash Xerex
Barcelona travel to basement club Deportivo Xerez this Wednesday evening looking to round off a fine week for the Catalans which has seen them dispense of Inter Milan in the Champions League, beat fierce rivals Real Madrid, and witness Lionel Messi win the prestigious Ballon d’Or.
Xerez (10/1) are in dire straits, they have no form to speak of, they have only won one home game in six all season and have managed a solitary goal in their last six games – which was in their last match in a 5-1 defeat by Getafe.
This fixture represents a great opportunity for Barca (1/4) to rub salt into the wounds of Real Madrid as victory will see them race away into a five point lead at the top of the table, albeit with an extra game played.
To get decent odds on this match you are going to have to look at the goals scored markets. Considering Xerez are going through a dry patch of goals, the 4/5 on offer for Barcelona to keep a clean sheet looks sensible.
If Barca are to round off a great week with a great result, then the 25/1 on offer for the Ballon d’Or winner Leo Messi to open the scoring of a 4-0 rout looks worth a small punt.
However, if the players partied a little too hard after their victory over Real Madrid on Sunday night, perhaps they may suffer a bit of a hangover! PartyBets is offering 6/4 that Barcelona fail to score in the first 60 minutes against Xerez.
PartyBets.com Prediction: 0-3 Barcelona @ 6/1
