Bet Of The Day October 25 – read on below for our reasoning behind today’s best bet.
Key Points
- Barcelona are unbeaten in 12 games this season in all competitions
- Barcelona have won nine of those fixtures
- Barcelona have won all six home games this season
- Five of those home wins have been to nil
- Fourteen of Barcelona’s last 16 home wins have been to nil
- Barcelona have beaten Porto and Antwerp to nil in the Champions League this season
We’re off to the Champions League for today’s best bet as Barcelona look to extend their unbeaten start to the season when they play host to Shakhtar.
After missing out on the knockout phase of the Champions League in the last two seasons, Barcelona will be determined to wrap up qualification as quickly as possible – and after winning their first two games, another three points here would go a long way.
Barcelona have been great to start to the season, going unbeaten in their 12 games in all competitions, winning nine and trailing Real Madrid in La Liga by just one point following their 1-0 triumph over Bilbao on the weekend.
Obviously Barcelona are heavy favourites here, but we can get some good value on them to win this game to nil.
Barcelona have already defeated Antwerp and FC Porto to nil in the Champions League, topping Group H with a 6-0 goal differential.
Barcelona have been incredibly stingy at home dating back to last season – basically when they win, they are not conceding.
Indeed, 14 of Barcelona’s last 16 home wins have been accompanied by a clean sheet. Tough to see Shakhtar causing too much damage here.
