Tips for match Real Madrid — Barcelona
On October 26, as part of the 11th round of La Liga, a super match will take place between Real Madrid and Barcelona. In recent years, this is perhaps one of the most difficult El Classicos to predict, although in our opinion, the Catalans, if not the hidden favorite, will definitely come to the Santiago Bernabeu not to lose.
Real Madrid is currently in 2nd place, only 3 points behind Barcelona, and in case of a win, they will be level on points. There is no way to get around them, because Barcelona has a difference of +23, and Real +14, but there is doubt that Real can win at all. The match with Borussia showed that if a team is not afraid of the royal club, tries to press and keep the ball, then with the current midfield, it is difficult for the Madrid team to take control of the game. And we don't believe at all that Barcelona will hold the score and release a 5th defender.
It is also worth noting that Courtois, who can pull out even the most difficult match, will not be in goal, there are still problems with defenders. With all due respect to Lucas Vazquez - he is far from the most reliable player when it comes to thinking about how to stop Rafinha, who recently scored 3 goals against Bayern, Yamal and Lewandowski. Why do we call one Real Madrid player and three Barcelona players? In the game against Bayern, all 3 shifted to different flanks and will probably hit the weakest spot of Real's defense.
Barcelona played a great match in the Champions League, beat Bayern 4-1, Rafinha scored a hat-trick and showed that it was right that he was not put up for transfer. Lewandowski in the last years of his career decided to remember his youth and does a fantastic amount of work, and there is nothing to say about the future owner of the Golden Cup Yamal. Flick has built a great team and the mood of the players shows that Barcelona's problems of recent seasons are ending. After all, even the club's debts have been reduced, the squad has become younger and the fight for the championship is real. Therefore, we were very surprised that Real is such a favorite, the odds for a Barca victory are only 3.5. But Santiago Bernabeu is still Real's fortress, so it would be safer to choose another bet.
