Real Madrid vs Barcelona Prediction and Betting Tips | 21st April 2024

Spanish football is back in action with another edition of El Clasico this weekend as Carlo Ancelotti's Real Madrid take on arch-rivals Barcelona in a crucial La Liga encounter at the Estadio Santiago Bernabeu on Sunday.


Real Madrid vs Barcelona Preview

Real Madrid are at the top of the La Liga standings and have been in excellent form this season. Los Blancos edged Manchester City to a narrow penalty shoot-out victory in the UEFA Champions League in their previous game and will be confident ahead of this match.

Barcelona, on the other hand, are in second place in the league table and have inconsistent over the past year. The Blaugrana suffered a damaging 4-1 defeat at the hands of PSG this week and will need to work hard to bounce back this weekend.

Real Madrid vs Barcelona Prediction

Barcelona will be hurting from their damaging defeat against PSG in the Champions League and have a point to prove going into this game. Lamine Yamal and Pau Cubarsi have been exceptional this season and will face a litmus test on Sunday.

Real Madrid have come into their own this season and are the favourites to win the league title. Los Blancos are in better form at the moment and should be able to win this game.
