In the 32nd round of La Liga, we have El Clásico ahead! Barcelona will play against Real Madrid at the legendary Santiago Bernabéu. The match predictions and bets for these teams have been prepared by DailySports analysts.
Real Madrid
Carlo Ancelotti's team is leading La Liga. A victory against Barcelona could practically guarantee Real Madrid the title of Spanish champions. Currently, Real is 8 points ahead of Barcelona. If this lead increases, it will be nearly impossible to catch up in the remaining 7 rounds. In an absolutely incredible match on Wednesday, Madrid progressed to the Champions League semifinals, defeating Manchester City in a penalty shootout. Madrid had to defend for almost the entire match, but the perfect performance by the defenders and Andriy Lunin saved them. In the previous La Liga round, Real Madrid defeated Mallorca away (1-0) thanks to a goal by Orelène Tchouaméni.
Barcelona
For Barcelona, things haven't gone as well as for the Madrid team. In the second leg of the Champions League quarterfinals against PSG, Barcelona forgot a quick goal, but all plans were ruined by Ronald Araujo's red card. As a result, Barcelona lost 1-4 and was eliminated from the Champions League. El Clásico is the last chance for Barcelona to salvage the season and compete for a trophy at its end. Last weekend, Xavi made maximum rotations in the match against Cadiz, and Barcelona won 1-0 thanks to a beautiful goal by João Félix.
