Real Madrid – Barcelona, Prediction – La Liga

🟢 Real Madrid is in a great mood before the derby

Real Madrid totally beat Liverpool in the Champions League this week and the 3-1 victory was the least Los Blancos deserved. They will almost certainly play in the semi-finals, and in La Liga their chances for the title increase with each passing round due to the numerous failures of Atletico. The bad thing about Los Blancos is the absence of key defensive players like Carvajal, Ramos, and Varane, which could be decisive at some point.

⏩ Barça have won 13 of their last 14 league games

Barça are chasing the title being only 1 point away from Atletico Madrid. In the last round, they beat Real Valladolid 1-0 at home after a late goal by Dembele. Thus, they continue their ideal results lately in the championship. Gerard Pique is more likely not to take part in the match, although Barcelona is doing everything possible to restore him. Coutinho and Fati are out.

El Clásico may decide the title this time

 Expert view: The loser in El Clásico will probably not lose his chances for the title, but he will drastically reduce them, not so much because of Atletico, but simply that Real and Barça are in too good shape and the two teams are not expected to make many mistakes until the end. At some point, a draw might be an acceptable result. The bookmakers see Barcelona as the favorite, especially considering that Real Madrid is waiting for a rematch at Anfield in the Champions League, but we will still bet on them because of the good odds for a double chance. Prediction – Real Madrid +0.5 Asian Handicap at 1.68.
