My Prediction

Okay, so we've done the preview of the match. Now let's do some predictions of the match. Well before that, let me tell you that this prediction is completely based on my own thoughts. As both Barcelona and Real Madrid are in a good place in the points table, it is a tuff one to predict about. But i guess, that Real Madrid is going to win this match. Why ? Because Barcelona has been seeming very unorganised and their special Tiki-Taka gameplay is barely seen. Yes, i acknowledge that this match is going to be played in the Camp Nou that will surely help Barcelona with audience support. But at the end of the day, any team who scores more goals wins.

Players like Karim Benzema contain that capability of winning any away game as well. Barcelona have been failing to win matches against clubs like Eibar which makes me choose Real Madrid as the favorites to win the match. But by any means, i don't want to mean that Barcelona can not win this match. They are the table toppers and one of the best teams out there but their recent performances has not been very convincing. But we know the GOAT - Leo Messi is capable of doing the impossibles. So, if Real Madrid wants to win the match, their defenders must be marking Messi all the time.

Let's see if Real Madrid can back themselves up and level the statistics or it is going to be Barcelona to take one more lead against Madrid. Let Us know in the comments section below telling us which of these teams are you supporting this El Classico ! Cheers !
