2010 EL CLASSICO REAL MADRID VS BARCELONA LIVE 2ND HALF ODDS AND TIPS

It's been quite a first half in the Real Madrid vs Barcelona El Classico and the 1-0 scoreline in Barcelona's favour isn't a massive surprise if you were following the odds closely in the run-up to the match. We saw certain bookmakers installing Barcelona as slim favourites shortly before the kick-off, despite Real Madrid being considered the main contenders for this crucial fixture. 

Lionel Messi's goal against Real has seen FC Barcelona's odds drop from 2.6 ot 1.5 with most major bookmakers. Real Madrid to win the match are now trading at 6.0 with popular UK bookmaker Ladbrokes. The draw pays out at 3.75 and that's not a bad bet if you think that Los Merengues are going to start the 2nd half with a bang. 
Real Madrid are slim favourites to score next with a price of 2.1 while Barcelona trades at 2.2. No more goals in the match has just been cut to 5.0. The bookmakers favour between 51-60 minutes to be the most likely time for the next goal with a 3.5 price should either team jhit the net in that 10 minute stretch. If a goal happens in the next 5 minutes after the start of the 2nd half, you've got a 5.5 payout. Should the next goal in the match happen between 81-90 minutes- it's a tasty 7.5 payout. That's basically a bet on some late drama. 
Lionel Messi is the favoured next goalscorer with a price of 5.0 against Cristiano Ronaldo's 5.5 listing. Gonzalo Higuain is listed at 6.0 while the odds then take a big jump to 10.0 for Pedro and 12.0 for Rafael Van Der Vaart. Seydou Kita trades at 19.0 with Sergio Ramos while Xavi has just been cut to 17.0. 
Cristiano Ronaldo is listed at 3.25 to score at any point during the match with Higuain at 3.5. Interestingly enough, Ladbrokes have suspended anytime goalscorer betting on Lionel Messi. I guess he really is that good. 
If Real Madrid can turn this one around, you're looking at some pretty decent odds- especially if we have a wild and wooly second half. A 2-1 result to Real Madrid pays 10.0 while 3-1 pays out at 21.0. A 3-2 margin to the hosts rewards at 23.0 while a 4-1 win pays 67.0. 
Should Real Madrid draw Barcelona 1-1, you've got the slimmest price on offer- 5.0. If the score stays the same you'll be paid out at 5.5 and if Barca add another and the match ends 2-0, you're looking at 6.0. 2-1 to Barca pays 6.5. 3-0 or 3-1 pays out at 11.0. 
Real need to keep their eyes on Messi and make sure that they don't give up any more cheap fouls around the penalty area. I think a red card may be likely in the second half as the temperature of the match was really heating up. I expect a cracking 45 minutes and I have a feeling that Real Madrid may have a few other tricks up their sleeves.
