Barcelona certainly sees this as an opportunity to surpass Real Madrid's points tally and vice versa for Real Madrid, who if they can win will leave Barcelona behind, but sometimes match results are disappointing without a winner because it is a draw, and if the result is a draw then Girona will really benefit because it will can lead the standings for some time if they can win over Celta Vigo.
Xavi Hernandez will face quite a difficult test in this match and it looks like there is an opportunity for Lewandowski to play in this big match, and Barcelona certainly hopes that happens because Barcelona still really needs his role.
It's not. Barcelona being unfavored compared with real madrid at this moment. Real madrid will be playing away and it's not the same like last season. Barcelona was always getting smaller odds once it would be playing at home but this kinda a bit different caused by barcelona being unfavored by to win the game against real madrid. There is only a slightly gap between barcelona's odds compared with real madrid but in fact that if barcelona will be playing without some good players like marc gulu and lewandowski or even de jong. I kinda feel if barcelona will be using the. same strategy against shakhtar donetsk which will try to put ferran as the striker and felix as a winger.
Jude bellingham needs only to make sure if he will able to score against barcelona. Winning elclassico will be helping real madrid in making the gap to be even bigger than before.
