Real Madrid v Barcelona Preview

Real Madrid’s Form

Real had a sensational 23/24 season which culminated in a La Liga and Champions League double last season and their subsequent signing of Mbappe during the summer and have picked up where they left off last season. They currently lead La Liga ahead of Atletico by 2 points though they’ve an extra game played and in the Champions League their form’s been mixed with only 9 points from their 6 games.

This is the second El Clasico of the season with the last coming back in October where they were handed a battering by Barcelona losing the game 0-4 following four second-half goals. They will want to put on a better showing this time around to land their third trophy of the season following successes in the UEFA Super Cup and Club World Cup.

The broader narrative behind this game will be to set the script right following their loss last October and give them momentum to continue their fine form.

Barcelona’s Form

For a side which was so dominant for the best part of two decades, the club has struggled in recent years due to the departure and ageing of their stars and supporting cast accompanied by a myriad of financial issues. However, 24/25 has gone relatively well, especially in the Champions League with 15 points from 6 games putting them 2nd in the league phase. In the La Liga, they’re 3rd 5 points behind Real Madrid.

Though they’ve won their last two games in all competitions including their semi-final over Athletic Club. The Christmas Period was difficult for the club from the 10th of November to the 21st of December in 7 La Liga matches they’ve lost 4 times, drawn twice and have only 1 victory.

They’ve found their form again in the cups in recent weeks and a win in this final would be a huge momentum flip in the context of the domestic picture.

Key Players To Watch

Vinicius Junior – Real Madrid

Following the arrival of Mbappe during the summer, there were question marks on what that would mean for Brazilian Superstar Vinicius Junior.

He’s continued in his rich vein of form though and has 13 goals and 9 assists from his opening 23 games this season.

Robert Lewandowski – Barcelona

The veteran Polish striker is returning to the club he spent 8 years at from 2014-2022 and in his debut season for Barcelona in 23/24 he finished with a tally of 26 goals and 9 assists from 49 games in all competitions.

This year he’s reacquainted himself with manager Hansi Flick and the scoring streak has continued with 25 goals and 2 assists in 26 games.

Real Madrid v Barcelona Prediction & Best Bet

Prediction: Real Madrid 2-1 Barcelona

Real have had mixed form this season and will be cognisant of the fact they were hammered last October against Barcelona.

Barcelona have found solace in Cup competitions this season though the broader picture of their La Liga form these last 6 weeks is concerning.

The El Classico is already an explosive affair, I fancy Real Madrid to get the win in this game due to their more consistent form recently.

Best Bet: Real Madrid Win + Under 3.5 Goals @ 3/1
