Real Madrid vs Barcelona Prediction & Betting tips
On Saturday evening, all football fans all over the world will be on the edge of their seats again. It is time again for ‘El Clasico,’ or the eternal titanic battle between Real Madrid and FC Barcelona. The interests are gigantic, because with only nine rounds to go, both teams hope to soon be able to relieve Atletico Madrid as the new leader of La Liga.
Real Madrid:
Real Madrid can confidently work towards El Clasico, because thanks to the beautiful midweek 3-1 victory over Liverpool, the Madrid people already have one leg in the semi-finals of the Champions League. Super talent Vinicius Junior silenced his critics with a doblete, and Marco Asensio also underlined his good form by putting his name on the scoreboard for the fourth game in a row.
Real Madrid has now been unbeaten for twelve games in a row in all competitions, and has reduced the gap to leader Atletico Madrid to just three points in LaLiga. With a victory, De Koninklijke is thus on the same level, although Zinedine Zidane must again miss several important forces this weekend. The rearguard in particular is still badly damaged – the central defense duo Sergio Ramos and Raphael Varane will not come into action anyway, while right back Dani Carvajal will probably still come too soon. Zidane will therefore have to improvise, and will probably call on Eder Militao, Nacho Fernandez and Lucas Vazquez again, just like against Liverpool.
Barcelona:
Even the most optimistic Catalan football fan would not have dared to dream of this scenario, but with only nine rounds to go FC Barcelona suddenly has the Spanish national title back in its own hands. The formation of Ronald Koeman is still a point behind leader Atletico Madrid, but the Blaugrana will receive the Madrid visitors next month in their own Camp Nou. With a victory in El Clasico, the Catalans can at least enjoy the lead in LaLiga for at least one night.
The fact that FC Barcelona has been able to catch up again in the Spanish title fight – and in the eyes of the bookmakers is even a top favorite for the national championship – is of course largely due to Koeman. In the 3-4-3 system of Snowflake, Jordi Alba and Sergino Dest can make good meters on the flanks, and Lionel Messi also seems to feel like a fish in the water again with ten goals and five assists in his last ten official games. . Last Monday evening at home against Real Valladolid, FC Barcelona came free with a narrow 1-0 victory, but in the previous duels against Real Sociedad (1-6) and Huesca (4-1), the Catalans were lord and master. You could call that 4-1 defeat against Paris Saint-Germain the tipping point, because since that painful defeat, Koeman’s team has been unbeaten for nine games in a row.
