BARCELONA VS SANTANDER LA LIGA LATEST BETTING TIPS

Josep Guardiola's Barcelona side are heavy favourites to dispose of Racing Santander in La Liga action today, with popular bookmaker Ladbrokes listing the Spanish heavyweights at a slim 1/5 price for the outright victory. Santander pays out at 12/1 to record to unlikely win, while a draw rewards at a lengthy 5/1 listing. 

Even taking Barca on the (-1.0) handicap will only pay out at 8/13, this indicates that they are a fairly good bet to notch three goals or more in this fixture. Santander (+1.0) pays 16/5. 
If you're looking for a correct score call, 3-0 to Barcelona pays out at 7/1 while a 4-0 win rewards at 11/1. A 5-0 spanking pays out at 20/1. If Barca play a poor match and still win, you'll likely see a 2-1 result and that garners a 9/1 price. If you think Zlatan Ibrahimovich and Co. will put up a big total, but are unsure of the actual score, try Barcelona to win by 4 or more goals at 10/3. 
Barca to take both legs of the half-time/full-time pays out at a slim 8/15 while draw/Barcelona pays out at 7/2. Barcelona are favoured to blank their rivals, as the odds on a clean sheet are odds-on at 4/5. 
Leo Messi is 4/7 to score anytime and 5/1 to score in both halves. He is a very short 12/1 for a hat-trick (one of the shortest hat-trick prices I've ever seen) and he is 6/1 to score from outside the box. 
Big Zlatan is 8/13 anytime and 6/1 in both halves. Pedro, Bojan and Thierry Henry are all listed at evens to score anytime while Andres Iniesta is listed at 9/4. I think that Santander could be vulnerable from set-pieces and if Rafa Marquez starts, then he could be a good candidate to score a headed goal and he pays out at a juicy 7/1 for the anytime strike. 
Sanatnder will be looking to Mohamed Tchite at 4/1 anytime, Sergio Canales and Xisco are priced at 5/1 while Luis Garcia (remember him?) pays 7/1. 
Leo Messi to score first in a 4-0 Barca romp pays 30/1 on the scorecast.
