Real Madrid – Barcelona : Preview & Prediction
This weekend’s big La Liga derby pits Real Madrid and FC Barcelona against each other. A priori, Real Madrid are favourites to win, but Barça go into the game reinforced after eliminating Galatasaray in the Europa League on Thursday and after a 12-game unbeaten run, in which they have won eight games and drawn four. And if only the points obtained in the second half of the season were taken into account, FCB would be in a head-to-head battle with Madrid. Los Blancos will be without Mendy, who was injured in Monday’s 3-0 win at Mallorca. Benzema, who did not finish the game against the Balearic side, is also doubtful and is working in the gym on the fringes of the group. On Thursday, the Culés managed to win in the ‘Turkish hell’ in a hard-fought match that went against them. In the end, the greater quality of Barcelona, especially in the boots of Pedri, ended up giving Xavi’s side another victory, although they paid a heavy price, as Dest was injured.
The last 4 Clasicos have produced goals on both sides.
2 of Madrid’s last 3 games have produced goals from both sides.
Barcelona are coming off a 1-2 win over Galatasaray on Thursday in the Europa League.
Madrid and Barcelona are the two top scorers in La Liga with 59 and 52 goals scored respectively.
A huge Clasico awaits us, between two teams in top form and who are representing La Liga very positively in Europe. In terms of goals, they have a huge potential and that is why the clash should leave us with goals on both sides.
