Reason for Real Madrid vs Barcelona Predictions
Real Madrid has owned recent games in front of their supporters, winning five of the last seven in the LaLiga and suffering just a single defeat in the previous ten. Although Real Madrid is more than capable of putting most opposition to the sword in the LaLiga, particularly on their patch, it is notable that nine of their previous 11 home games have served up under 3.5 goals. Real Madrid ended their season in the LaLiga with involvement in 11 consecutive home games containing goals at both ends, and this run stretches to 17 of 19 matches over the slightly longer terms. This has also been the case in 16 of the most recent 18 Real Madrid home matches at this level, including in 10 in a row of late, so under 3.5 goals are expected here. Vinicius Junior plays excellently, he is fast in the one-on-one game, and he is unstoppable. Aurelien Tchouameni is an experienced midfielder, he is strong, and it isn’t easy to take the ball away from him. There aren’t many personnel worries, with just the lone fitness concern for the Real Madrid boss Carlo Ancelotti to contend with, thanks to an otherwise robust group of players. Thibaut Courtois (Sciatic Problem) will miss out.
Barcelona doesn’t exactly have the best of form on the road either, with Barcelona suffering four defeats in six top-flight trips of late. This has also been the case in 11 of the last 13 Barcelona away matches at this level, so don’t expect a cricket score in this contest. As for Barcelona, they have been no strangers to exciting encounters on their second-tier travels, with neither keeper pitching a shutout in 12 of their last 14 trips. Barcelona ended the previous campaign with a bang, but they have not been the same swashbuckling side so far this season, as each of their last nine games has produced three goals or fewer. Raphinha enjoys the pitch, and when he receives the ball and moves toward the goal, the opponent has problems. Pedri showed that he is a great player, he moves well and cooperates with the attackers, all praise for him. Barcelona manager Xavi Hernández has multiple availability issues to deal with. Héctor Bellerín (Muscular problems), Andreas Christensen (Sprained ankle), Memphis Depay (Thigh Problems), Franck Kessié (Adductor problems), Jules Koundé (Achilles tendon problems) can’t be considered.
Conclusion
There are no favorites in this match, and we won’t be surprised if this clash could end in a draw.
This will be a big fight between these two rivals, and we should expect a goal from both teams. Football fans should enjoy this match and see at least a goal in each net.
