Messi 12-1 to land another Clasico hat-trick
BARCELONA have won both Clasico meetings against Real Madrid this season and bookmakers expect them to maintain the advantage over their rivals in Wednesday’s Copa del Rey final in Valencia.
The Catalans are narrow favourites after Cristiano Ronaldo was ruled out for Madrid and that should give Lionel Messi even more of the limelight following his hat-trick in the recent 4-3 success for Barcelona at the Bernabeu.
Messi is 12-1 with bet365 to help himself to another hat-trick, while the same firm are only 6-5 about a red card being dished out in what is sure to be a feisty contest.
Real Madrid hot-head Pepe is 25-1 with Paddy Power to receive his marching orders.
