La Liga
Barcelona had a tough match against Inter during the week, ending their dreams of a treble. At least they have a chance to do a double if they win the title. A victory in this derby will almost certainly guarantee that. It would be quite impressive if they manage to defeat their opponent for the fourth time this season. Jules Kounde remains sidelined, but at least Lewandowski is back in action. The question is whether he will be ready to start or once again come on as a substitute, as he did against Inter. Ter Stegen is also recovered, but his return to the game is still pending. Alejandro Balde is also ready to play.
Real Madrid should be a bit fresher, as they did not have a match during the week. The question is whether Ancelotti and company have finally found the recipe to defeat Barcelona under Hansi Flick. The title remains the only salvation for Real this season, and they have a lighter schedule after this match. Antonio Rudiger remains sidelined, as well as Camavinga. Mendy, Carvajal, Alaba, and Militao are still absent, but at least Rodrigo is expected to return.
Prediction: Both teams to score, over 2.5 goalsAfter their three victories over Real this season, Barcelona is now the favorite for the win. However, the team had a tough match during the week. Goals are always a reasonable option in this derby, and I will once again focus on them with the hope of seeing an exciting clash.
