You mean Barcelona will win? Or they have to win? Although after the hard work in UCL matches by Madrid players, they are quite exhausted for sure, still I think Madrid will either win or a draw at max. It's in Bernabeu, everything is in Madrid's favor.

Im adding the picture for the strategy used by the club.

Madrid is gonna play with two attackers at upfront. It seems like that ancellotti is trying to strengthening the defensive line since barcelona may be playing fully offensive. Having two attackers instead of one helped club to do quick counter attack easily once barcelona will miss the ball.

Barcelona lose in the first leg. The second leg may be a bit different since xavi is now using so many players from la masia like cubarsi or yamal. That's an interesting match to watch soon.

Things are not going so well for real madrid since barcelona made some improvements on its defensive and attacking lines.

I quite agree with this because indeed their problem lies in discipline because in terms of current performance after several problems that occurred in the end Barcelona can still play well and their problems in terms of attack and finishing can finally be anticipated.
However, the problem of discipline and unnecessary fouls seems to need to be given greater notice because as you said, they have been disadvantaged several times due to red cards received and the last match against PSG should be a situation that should be given special attention so as not to let Madrid's fast counter-attacks be thwarted by fouls that lead to cards.
If things like this still happen then don't expect Barcelona to be able to provide resistance because we know that although Barcelona's style of play certainly dominates with its tiki taka but when it comes to the quality of attacks, Madrid can always do the best with its counter attacks.

It is going to be such a big game today, not saying that Barcelona would have a chance to win the title if they win this game, there are still so many games Real Madrid would have to lose if Barcelona wants to win, it is not going to be possible for Real Madrid to lose that much, but at the very least Barcelona has to win so they could say that they tried and did their very best, otherwise that makes no sense.

I believe that we are going to end up with a result that won't be that easy, we should probably consider the situation to be changing at all times. I believe that we can't make that work if we are not careful, so we should probably consider this option to be sensitive and Barcelona has to get a win here no matter what.

It's not about Real Madrid winning because it's clear that the points difference is far away but this El Clasico will be the most heated moment where they will keep the victory as the top club in LaLiga although it can be concluded that Real Madrid will win but I feel that the match will still be tough.

Real Madrid have already celebrated their semi-final victory over Manchester City, but Los Blancos will now have another battle with a strong team, it's not much but 3 points are still quite important for Real Madrid.

Suppose Los Blancos lose then it will slightly delay the LaLiga trophy celebration for Real Madrid.

I'm sure everyone is waiting for Real Madrid vs Barcelona. It will be an interesting El Clasico. On one side we have Real Madrid, who eliminated Manchester City in the semifinals of the Champions League. On the other side, we have Barcelona, who lost their place in the semifinals by eliminating Paris Saint Germain in the Champions League. Both teams have had a completely different week. Both teams have a very different mood. But derby matches always have a different atmosphere. Real Madrid will undoubtedly use their home advantage. I think they are the favorites in this match.

Their one problem now is that if Xavi can anticipate that then the chance to hold back and even win in El Clasico is possible.
The problem for Barcelona is the lack of discipline of the players because seeing from some crucial matches that occurred such as when facing PSG in the Champions League quarter-finals and when facing Madrid in the final earlier last month we know discipline is the biggest problem where players always make mistakes that lead to red cards which in the end it hurts Barcelona.

If in this match they still cannot anticipate this, it could be a 4-1 massacre like in the final some time ago repeated again especially this is the Bernabeu which is quite haunted for several visiting clubs including for Barcelona.
Kick off is in a few hours and in terms of odds Madrid is still the favorite and I have no hesitation to burn my money on Madrid in this bet.

Carlo Ancelotti isn't unfamiliar with the current situation of Real Madrid so I expect him to draft out the best possible means of beating Barcelona tonight and increase his team's chances of winning the game which will automatically extend their points difference at the top of the league to eleven points. On Wednesday, he named his strongest squad against Manchester City in their UEFA Champions League quarter final game at the Etihad and for a game that lasted for 120 minutes, it's expected that some of the players of Real Madrid will be exhausted after the game.
Despite the amount of energy most of the players who played the full 120 minutes lost, I expect Carlo Ancelotti to still name a very strong squad against Barcelona tonight. Dani Carvajal and Aurelien Tchoumeni who are Real Madrid's regular starters didn't play that game at Manchester City because they were suspended and will definitely start tonight's game.

There is the El Classico tonight yet I am not at all excited and like me most of the fans and gamblers because the La Liga is already decided and Real Madrid is already Champion of the La Liga,Barcelona comes from an elimination from the Champions League while Real from a further qualification that sees them in the semi-finals,based on that we can easily see that the team with the bigger motivation is Real Madrid and most likely they are going to win the derby to keep up with the form and make the fans even more happy than they are because of Real eliminating City in Champions,as they say revenge is a plate that is better served cold and that was what happened to City,Real took revenge for what happened in 2023 to them.

Rayo Vallecano managed to turn the game around with second-half goals in a game they trailed at half-time to earn 3 points. It was unlucky for them to fall behind in the first half, even though they increased the pressure from the start of the match and always had the ball in their possession. Vallecano managed to take full control of the ball and the game in the second half and managed to win with 2 goals in the last 10 minutes.

Ancelotti is not a careless person in applying his tactics and strategies to the Real Madrid team every season and this is still evident this season in the team he coaches. I even think that Barcelona's chances of getting a trophy in La Liga are slim because Barcelona is already eight points behind Real Madrid at the moment and today Real Madrid also has a chance to win to increase its number of points at the top of the standings. So it will make it more difficult for Barcelona to catch Real Madrid's points in the remaining matches at the end of this season.

Celta Vigo managed to get an important win at home. Celta Vigo, who are close to the relegation zone, did not find it easy to win against an out of form opponent. It was not an easy game for them because it was the visitors Las Palmas who had most of the possession. They also failed to take any points from this game, making it 8 weeks without a win. They were a team that had the potential to finish in the top 7, but their lack of wins in 8 weeks has pushed them down the table. They are not in the danger zone at the moment, but a few more points will allow them to finish the league without risking relegation.

And everything is literally in favour of real Madrid at this point, they have good chances for winning both leagues and Madrid actually tried there best and if they win it they actually deserves it. And if they are able to win the la Liga and they are able to focus on the Champions League then the chances will increase, there will be more energy to pour in. Madrid vs Barcelona eventually we know who is going to win.

Madrid will fight at with any opponent since they were able to eliminate Manchester City that was a threat it also about the title because last season wanted the title untill Manchester City removed them so it shows that the tittle is important to them. Winning two of this titles is actually worth the celebration. The only problem that Madrid will be concerned about now is Barcelona but even them won't be a problem.

This El Classico match will be a prestigious match between Real Madrid and Barcelona, they are both elite La Liga clubs who continue to be strong competitors to be at the top. Real Madrid is already at the top at the moment and wants to continue to be at the top with quite a distance between them. so far that Barca has no chance to overtake Madrid, even though they have quite a big difference in points, the reality is that Madrid is still not safe from ensuring the league title and this match will be the deciding factor for Madrid in gaining more and more points.

There is no reason not to be more enthusiastic even though Madrid has entered the semifinals because Madrid still has several important matches in the League that must be won, in the first meeting Madrid was able to beat Barca, in the second meeting they should also be able to beat Barca at the Santiago Bernabéu. I believe Madrid can beat Barca again this time.

That's right, this is not only about competition at the top of the La Liga standings, butalso about prestige so of course Real Madrid will do theirbest to win athome in this El Clasico match. Although indeed, at least if I consider the players in their mains quad, atleast Barcelona also has a chance to getpoints in thismatch. Therefore, even though Real Madrid is still considered as a team that is projected to win, it certainly won't be easy because Barcelona also has a goodeffort . Thus, it is also possible that a draw could occur but for some reason, I personally think this El Clasico match will likely end with a low number of goals.

Getafe CF 1 - 1 Real Sociedad

This was a difficult game to predict the result, both teams came to this game with a draw, and the value of the odds showed that the bookmakers were looking at this game as being a balanced game, the real society needed a victory to stay with more comfort in the fight for a place in European competitions and on the other side we have Getafe who in the last 4 games only managed to obtain just 1 victory and as they are already far from the relegation zone they would not play very seriously, that's why I thought that the real society were to be able to win. but they couldn't win and lost a point. this draw only gave them 1 point and they run the risk of Betis or Valencia being able to pass them and stay in position 6

Alaves - Atletico Madrid

I'm thinking about betting on Atlético Madrid to win in this game, the odds for Atlético Madrid to win are very good in my opinion, it's at 1.84, I want to see the squad that will play and if it's a good squad then I'll bet on Atlético Madrid . In the last 5 games Atletico Madrid won 3 games and lost 2 games. comes to this game with a sequence of two victories. On the other side we have Alaves who in the last 5 games had only 1 victory and come to this game with a sequence of 3 consecutive defeats. Unfortunately, Atlético Madrid has many players injured, for example: Memphis Depay, Marcos Paulo, Thomas Lemar.

Girona has indeed made a difference to the La Liga competition this season, they are among the elite clubs and have been in the top 5 for quite a long time now, they are motivated to win the title but they have not felt the difficulty of maintaining their performance until the end, which is different from Other elite clubs who have been used to tough competition in Laliga have dominated for years, so it is not an easy task for Girona to break the dominance of these elite clubs with Girona's performance not being completely perfect.

Laliga always presents quite interesting competition in every season but no one can beat the performance of Barcelona, Real Madrid and Atletico for many years appearing competitive in Laliga only Girona is ahead of Atletico at the moment if Girona is able to stay in 3rd place until the end of this season with 7 points ahead, for Sevilla, Real Sociedad and Valencia we don't know what will happen next season.

This will not be easy even though Real Madrid will be playing at home, as has happened in the past, El Classico matches are always fierce and Barcelona's current performance is much more developed so they cannot be underestimated.

It's not just a motivation to chase points in the standings, but the El Classico match is a prestigious match for both teams so I don't think that the difference in points in the standings alone is used as a reference and also overall Barcelona's performance I think can match Real Madrid so I predict Barcelona will not lose in the El Classico match tonight.

Chasing madrid's points difference is of course very difficult for Barcelona but that does not mean impossible for Barcelona in my opinion, Barcelona must win the game against Madrid today at least to cut the gap between the two teams and if Barcelona wins of course Madrid will start to pressure at the top of the standings later, yes indeed against Madrid will be difficult for Barcelona because this season Madrid Is too great in dominating La Liga but that does not mean Barcelona also has no chance to I think today's El Classico will be very important for both teams in securing their positions in La Liga including Madrid to be able to move further away from Barcelona.

At the moment both teams are in perfect condition to face the game later, so I think both teams still have the same chance to win the game although I am more inclined to see Madrid will be able to beat Barcelona again this season, since Xavi decided to step down as Barcelona coach, precisely now the improvement of Barcelona game is very drastic and we can even see how Barcelona can trouble PSG in the Champions League.
