Before the match
Last spring, Barcelona broke a five-loss streak once morest Real Madrid in the league and Super Cup, and did it in the most painful and even humiliating way for the creamy. Ancelotti’s team was crushed at the Santiago Bernabeu, losing 0-4. Despite the fact that this did not affect the result of the season in La Liga in any way, and might not, in fact – by that time the gap between the Royal Club and all rivals, including Barcelona, was too great – such a slap in the face in the most important match so easy to forget. By the way, one of the main characters of that meeting, Aubameyang, who played 2 + 1, is no longer in the team – in the summer he returned to the Premier League, moving to Chelsea. But there is Lewandowski, who moved from Bayern in the same transfer window.
In the summer, the teams met in a friendly match during the American tour, where the Catalans prevailed with a score of 1:0. Of course, now there will be a completely different game both in terms of atmosphere and in terms of mood. Real Madrid wants revenge, Santiago Bernabeu wants revenge. Both clubs are not in perfect shape right now, but Madrid are better at snatching the most important victories on character when the game is not underway.
At the same time, in terms of points in La Liga, despite certain problems, Real Madrid and Barcelona are still going almost perfectly – they have seven wins and one draw each. The Catalans are also very good in defense, conceding just one goal in these eight rounds. However, victories in the last rounds were obtained with a creak (and Real Madrid played 1-1 with Osasuna in the last league match at the Santiago Bernabeu), and in the Champions League the Catalans failed completely – four points in four rounds and third place , threatening them with the second consecutive continuation of the Euroseason in the Europa League. Real Madrid, on the other hand, almost secured their way out of the first line and already definitely made it to the playoffs – but they probably lost Rudiger, who had a very hard head-butt with the Shakhtar goalkeeper in the scoring episode (although it is likely that he will be able to play in a mask ). By the way, the entrance to the field of the main goalkeeper of Real Madrid is also in question – perhaps Lunin will play once more instead of Courtois.
Forecast for the match “Real” – “Barcelona”
As good as the Catalans’ defense has performed this season, a motivated Real Madrid must find ways to crack it – even though Karim Benzema hasn’t scored since his injury. And the level of Barcelona’s rivals in previous rounds, of course, was no match for Madrid. It is unlikely that there will be open attacking football here, but the hosts are able to take the upper hand with a score like 2:1 or, say, 3:1 with the last goal at the very end of the match.
Our predictions for the match Real Madrid – Barcelona: Real Madrid win by one or two goals, odds – 2.70; Real Madrid will win and the total is over 2.5, the coefficient is 3.00.
