Real Madrid vs Barcelona picks and predictions
Sunday features the latest installment in the storied history between Real Madrid and Barcelona. The home side come into this game eight points clear of Barcelona, with just one league defeat to their name all season long.
There’s also the shadow of European competition hanging over both teams, with Real reaching the Champions League semifinals with a win over Man City, while Barcelona crumbled against PSG. Buoyed by the signing of Jude Bellingham, Real Madrid are loaded with an abundance of talent and have already beaten Barca 4-1 in the Spanish Supercopa and 2-1 at Camp Nou, thanks to two goals from Bellingham.
Defense also gives Madrid a clear advantage on Sunday. They’ve conceded just 20 goals all season, 14 less than Barcelona. Now on the back of the Champions League quarterfinals for both teams, the mental strength of Real Madrid is superior to Barcelona, who suffered a complete meltdown in their 4-1 defeat to PSG.
