Bet on Real Madrid vs Barcelona, Arsenal vs Liverpool, the NBA and UFC 308 at Housebets.com.

Ladies and gentlemen, fasten your seatbelts and enjoy the ride because you are about to witness one of the greatest weekends in sports history.

This weekend is like no other because the action across different sporting events will be unmatched.

As usual, the action starts with club football in Europe’s top domestic leagues.

We have seen a lot of top matches in the Champions League and Europa League this week, but we get to see more this weekend.

Aside from the regular club football in Europe’s top leagues, the NBA is also back with more exciting matches set for this weekend.

This weekend will not be complete without another big fight, set to take place in the Middle East.

With the weekend fully loaded, let’s take a look at the pick of the bunch and how you can bet on it at Housebets.com

UFC 308 Main Event: Ilia Topuria vs. Max Holloway

A weekend is not complete without a major fight in combat sports. Well, we have got another one this weekend as the UFC train moves to Etihad Arena — Abu Dhabi, UAE, with UFC 308 taking centre stage.

The main event of the night will see Ilia Topuria take on Max Holloway in the featherweight championship fight.

Topuria comes into the clash as the champion after beating Australia’s Alexander Volkanovski in February.

The Spaniard stunned UFC fans when he knocked out the Australian in the second round of their fight.

It was his seventh win in the UFC, improving to 15-0 in all MMA fights. As for Holloway, he finds himself in this position after knocking out Justin Gaethje to claim the BMF title.

The fight has everything to be a classic and one of the best fights in UFC history. The war of words has already started.

In terms of how the fight could go, both fighters are capable of getting the knockout. But considering Holloway is a fighter who never gives up, this could go the distance.

Nonetheless, Topuria is the favourite in this clash, with Housebets backing him at 1.30 against Holloway’s 3.15.

LaLiga: Real Madrid vs Barcelona

The biggest football game of this weekend will take place at the Santiago Bernabeu as Real Madrid host Barcelona in the first El-Clasico of the season.

This is the most anticipated El-Clasico in a while as both teams arrive in good form and currently occupy the top two spots in the league.

Although Real Madrid have been up and down in the league this season, they are only three points behind their rivals going into Saturday’s match.

Carlo Ancelotti’s men haven’t been totally convincing in the Spanish topflight this season, but they come into the game on the back of a 5-2 win over Borussia Dortmund in the Champions League during the week.

Los Blancos appeared to be heading for a defeat after going down 2-0 in the first half.

But just as we have seen over and over in the Champions League, Madrid mounted a comeback in the second half, scoring five times, including a hat-trick from their star man Vinicius Jr.

The manner of the win is indeed the perfect way to prepare for their biggest game of the season.

But if Madrid’s result against Dortmund was brilliant, Barcelona’s performance against Bayern Munich during the week was equally impressive.

The Catalan giants appeared to have found a new life under Hansi Flick, who took over from Xavi Hernandez in the summer.

The former Germany coach has transformed Barca in a short time, and Wednesday’s result against his former club Bayern Munich shows that.

Barca absolutely outclassed Vincent Kompany’s men 4-1 in their Champions League encounter during the week.

This was after they thrashed Sevilla 5-1 in their LaLiga clash last Sunday, their ninth win in ten league matches.

Barca will go to Bernabeu full of confidence, but so would Madrid who are at home.

Recent history favours Ancelotti’s men as they are unbeaten in their last four games against their arch-rivals in all competitions.

The odds also favour Madrid, with the All Whites priced at 2.00 to win the match against Barcelona’s 3.35 at Housebets.

Which other games can I bet on this weekend?

As stated above, this weekend is fully loaded for sports lovers. There are many football games in Europe’s top leagues to bet on, including Arsenal’s big Premier League clash against Liverpool at the Emirates, Inter Milan’s league game against Juventus in Derby d'Italia and Olympique Marseille’s showdown with Paris Saint-Germain in Le Classique.

Meanwhile, the NBA is also back with some exciting matches this weekend, including the Phoenix Suns vs the Dallas Mavericks.

There is also some tennis action in Basel and Austria, while the Formula 1 train moves to Mexico this weekend.
