Real Madrid vs Barcelona Prediction & Betting tips
Ladies and gentlemen, there’s he again: El Clasico! With win in his own Bernabeu, Real Madrid sets a giant step towards her first national title since 2012, while FC Barcelona is the last chance to hit six rounds for the final in the Spanish title.
Real Madrid :
Real Madrid is in a seat. The Madrilenians have a lead of three points at their closest Catalan troops and also have another match credit. The football giant can afford to miss, even though Los Merengues wants to avoid losing the tension in the Spanish title fight. In addition, Real Madrid knew this week at the expense of Bayern Munich for the seventh time in a row for the semi-finals of the Champions League, in which city-mate Atletico Madrid will be the opponent. Never in the history of the Champions League, a club managed to write Europe’s most prestigious club tournament twice in a row, but perhaps the star formation of coach Zidane could break that curse this season.
Still, Real Madrid is not all smeared as long as you might think. Especially in the Madrilean back yard there is something wrong. Sergio Ramos is a world-class defender, but you can wonder if players like Nacho, Danilo and Navas belong to a club like Real Madrid. The last time Navas managed to keep his goal clean on January 29 (Real Sociedad home: 3-0), almost three months ago. Sunday evening also included the weather because both Pepe and Varane are in the lapper basket. In the offensive, this week, from the Madrilean camp, it was good to report news, because Bale returned to the training field. However, it is still unclear whether Zidane will put him back straight.
Probable setup Real Madrid
Navas; Marcelo, Ramos, Nacho, Carvajal; Kroos, Casemiro, Modric; Cristiano Ronaldo, Benzema, Bale
Barcelona :
FC Barcelona has been more or less behind the facts all the season. The Catalans can of course be fantastic, but this season is simply not constant enough. Too often, the coach of coach Luis Enrique did not give home and that is why the Blaugrana is threatening to grab his team. One place at the last four in the Champions League was drunk by a nasty Juventus by the nose this week, while title tension in their country seems to be a difficult story. FC Barcelona will be in the final of the Copa del Rey next month, but the Spanish cup is nothing more than a consolation price for the Catalans.
Of course, the decline of FC Barcelona is a logical consequence of a lack of quality. Players like Andre Gomes, Mathieu, Umtiti, Rafinha, Alcacer, Denis Suarez and Arda Turan are deficient for the highest level and Iniesta is now in age. Often, MSN knew the many meanings in Barça’s selection, but Messi, Suarez and Neymar also perform significantly less this season. The illustrious trio came together in 102 official duels together. In only eight games of it, none of them could score. These are of course great statistics, but do not forget that four of those goalless duels were played in 2017.
Sunday evening, La MSN is not complete at all, as Neymar is suspended. Probably Luis Enrique chooses for his 3-4-3 system, with Messi as a number ten in Suarez. The local Mundo Deportivo expects Alcacer and Sergi Roberto on the wings, although Alba is a serious candidate for the left side. In any case, FC Barcelona is in for a good job, because in four of their last six official matches the Catalans went down.
Probable setup Barcelona
Ter Stegen; Umtiti, Pique, Mascherano; Iniesta, Busquets, Rakitic; Messi; Alcacer, Suarez, Sergi Roberto
