Lincoln Financial Field, Philadelphia - Real Madrid continue their preseason tour on Saturday night, when they play Philadelphia Union, hoping to get another win to add to their victories over LA Galaxy and Guadalajara.
Jose Mourinho's side beat Galaxy 4-1 and Guadalajara 3-0 in their last two matches, and they are strong favourites to add a third win against Union, best priced at 1/5 with Paddy Power (bet £50 to make £10 profit). Philadelphia picked up a good 1-0 win against Everton in their last match, but are seen as unlikely to be able to repeat this against Madrid and are priced at 12/1 on Betfair. The draw is at 11/2 with Victor Chandler.
In the correct score market, a 3-0 win for Real is seen as the most likely result by William Hill, who go 8/1. Next are 3-1 and 4-0 wins, which are both at 9/1, followed by 2-1, 2-0 and 4-1, which are all at 10/1. A 1-1 draw is a 16/1 shot, while Union's best hope of a victory is a 2-1 win which is priced at 33/1 with William Hill.
Real are 4/9 to be winning at half time and full time, and 4/1 to be drawing at half time and winning at full time. Draw / draw is priced at 12/1, and Philadelphia are 20/1 to be winning at half time and full time.
Cristiano Ronaldo is a short priced favourite to open the scoring in the match, priced at 2/1. Karim Benzema is next, at 5/2, with Jose Maria Callejon and Joselu both 4/1 shots. Kaka and Mesut Ozil are next, both at 4/1, while Carlos Ruiz offers the best shot for Union, priced at 9/1.
This is Real's last friendly in the USA, after which they return to Europe for friendlies against Hertha BSC and Leicester. They are 13/8 with Ladbrokes to win La Liga this season, behind favourites Barcelona who are at 7/10 with Sporting Bet.
