Football News Update: Barcelona vs Real Madrid Clash in Pre-Season Encounter
In a highly anticipated pre-season clash, Spanish giants Barcelona and Real Madrid will face off at the stadium that will host the 2026 World Cup final in New Jersey, USA.
The two teams met in a similar pre-season encounter a year ago, with Barcelona emerging victorious by a 3-0 margin. While Real Madrid had the upper hand over their rivals during the course of the previous campaign, neither side will want to suffer defeat, even in a pre-season match.
This clash will not see the Clasico debut of Kylian Mbappe, but it will feature another of Real Madrid’s summer signings, Endrick, going up against a formidable Barcelona side.
Football Betting Tips:
- Barcelona over 1.5 team goals @ 5/6 with bet365
- Endrick to score anytime @ 15/8 with bet365
- Both teams to score in the first half @ 12/5 with bet365
Our football betting expert predicts that Barcelona will be able to take advantage of Real Madrid’s defensive issues, with the Catalans’ attacking options of Raphinha, Ilkay Gundogan, and Robert Lewandowski set to expose the visitors’ vulnerabilities.
Meanwhile, Real Madrid’s new signing Endrick, who impressed on his debut against AC Milan, is tipped to make an impact and score his first goal for the club.
Fans can also expect an entertaining first half, with both teams likely to find the back of the net early on, as was the case when the two sides met in Saudi Arabia earlier this year.
