I'm going for 1-1. Barca cant afford to lose and Real would be happy with a draw being 3 points clear and a game in hand.
This the discussion thread then?
Barca
Valdés, Alves, Piqué, Cesc, Puyol, Xavi, Iniesta, Alexis, Messi, Sergio and Abidal
Subs - Pinto, Mascherano, Maxwell, Keita, Pedro, Thiago and Villa
Madrid
Casillas, Coentrão, Pepe, Ramos, Marcelo, Alonso, Lass, Di María, Özil, Ronaldo & Benzema
Subs - Adán, Albiol, Arbeloa, Khedira, Kaká, Callejón & Higuaín

Shocked at that team tbh, considering form I would have had Mascherano over Puyol for sure.
And if Cesc has to play, Pedro should play instead of one of Iniesta or Sanchez.
Iniesta will probably play out on the left, Sanchez right and Messi kinda any where he wants. Cesc will play in the middle where Iniesta would usually.
Iniesta has played out wide quite a lot so isn't a stranger to it. Pedro has been out for a little while so fitness might be an issue.

Was gonna stick a few quid on the red card market but only getting 2/1. Got pennies on 5 goals (9/1) and 6 goals (11/1).
Still thinking about the rest.
Might stick a couple of correct scores on 4-1, 4-2 for both teams - spread it out a bit.

Coentrao 
think he's a terribly average player and so expensive.
edit: hypothetically, of course, if I was to attempt to watch this without Sky how would I be able to do so? On an unrelated topic, my email is in trust.

Good shout - hurries to Mister Hill's tinternet site.
Just got 17/2 for lead at half time and not win (for both teams)
3-1 to real I reckon, jose knows what it takes to beat barca and will want revenge for the 5-0 thumping last season, expect them to attack from the off rather than try and fail at containing barca. IMO a team to be feared this year are Real.
Real are a team to be feared any year, but the quality the have combined with that little extra time together has made them an unreal proposition. I've not seen every game this season but they just never look out of ideas. They can attack or defend pretty much every way in any tactics manual you care to mention. If in doubt, give it to Ronaldo, he'll smash it in from 35 yards.

Annoying that I'm reduced to watching on ESPN Deportes...I guess it gives some realism if I have Spanish commentators.
