Barcelona vs Real Madrid, 8pm GMT
This is one of the biggest fixtures on the football calendar, taking place at Camp Nou on Sunday evening, with La Liga leaders Barcelona welcoming second-placed Real Madrid for El Clasico.
Real Madrid are nine points behind Barcelona in the table ahead of this contest, so a victory for the home side would see them take a huge step towards winning their first La Liga title since 2019.
We see a totally different game then when Barca beat real in the cup a couple of weeks ago ending 1-0.

This is a huge game because if Barcelona wins, that’s likely curtains for the La Liga title. With the 9 points lead on Madrid with 13 games remaining a win here would be a bridge to far. So this in mind Madrid should be hungry for the W but were sure Barcelona will be too strong.
When Barcelona did beat Real in the cup game in Madrid a few weeks ago, 1-0 they held them to 0 shots on target which is quite a feat. One thing in Madrid’s favour here is that Dembele and Pedri won’t be playing. Barcelona have been stone cold at home, 10 wins and 2 draws, having scored 25 and have only given up 1 goal so this is no easy task to be sure but considering how Real Madrid have performed in big games in recent history, we think they should at least be able to get us a goal to help our picks.
Barcelona predicted starting 11:
Ter Stegen; Kounde, Araujo, Christensen, Balde; F de Jong, Busquets, Kessie; Raphinha, Lewandowski, Gavi
Real Madrid predicted starting 11:
Courtois; Carvajal, Militao, Rudiger, Nacho; Tchouameni, Camavinga, Modric; Valverde, Benzema, Vinicius
Head to Head
The two arch-rivals have locked horns 251 times in competitive games and 34 times in exhibition games. Madrid enjoy a narrow 102-98 lead in wins.
This is the third meeting this season with Barca wining the last 1-0.
The last seven meetings between the two teams have produced over 2.5 goals on six occasions.
Madrid have been the dominant side in their recent meetings against the Blaugrana, recording six wins in eight games.
