Real Madrid-Barcelona is a match of the eighth day of the Spanish La Liga: where to watch it, the probable formations and the prediction.
REAL MADRID – BARCELONA | Sunday 4:15pm
Two teams with the same points in the standings (22), although Barcelona are ahead because not only have they scored one more goal than Real Madrid in the league, but above all because Xavi’s side have only conceded one goal in La Liga. Of course, at the Clasico at the Bernabeu two teams arrive in completely different moods: Ancelotti’s troop in the Champions League is first alone in its group; Xavi’s team, from the same Champions League, has practically exited after the home draw against Inter. The Nerazzurri are masters of their own destiny and the clear feeling is that it will still be the Europa League that will accompany the Catalans until the end of this season.
In short, there is a favourite team, especially for what is the mood of the two most important teams in the Spanish league. And obviously we are referring to the one coached by Carlo Ancelotti who, by winning, would give a decidedly resounding signal to the championship.
And then, honestly, it is impossible to see again what we saw last year, again in Madrid, when Xavi annihilated his more experienced colleague on the bench with a four-nil victory that left very little room for comment. There will not be another such result. On the contrary, Carletto could and should take a revenge of the magnitude to return alone to the top of the Spanish league table.

The Prediction
Favourite Real Madrid for the factors we told you before and also because Ancelotti’s team will play at home, dragged by their own public. A match that should also see one goal per team. But the three points, in the end, should go to the hosts.
