Barcelona

After the victory over Real on March 19 in La Liga, there is no doubt that Barça will eventually get the title. After that, Barcelona on the road defeated Elche (4:0). Lewandowski scored a double, and Fatih and Torres. Barcelona possessed 59% of the field, having 12 shots on goal and six on the bar. Barcelona won the first semifinal match against Real Madrid 1:0, so a draw will be enough for them in the upcoming meeting. Note that Barça conceded only once in their last five games.

Real Madrid

In La Liga, Real Madrid has nothing else to do because the gap from Barcelona is already equal to 12 points with 11 rounds to go. At the same time, the Merengues play in the Champions League, which will cause a loss of points in the following rounds. But Madrid will do everything to win in the second most important tournament in Spanish soccer and not allow Xavi's team to make a golden hat-trick. After the international break, Real Madrid held an impressive match against Valladolid, having humiliated the strong opponent 6:0. In that game, Benzema shot a hat-trick, and Rodrigo, Asensio, and Lucas Vazquez scored as well. According to the xG index Real Madrid had 5.38 goals against Valladolid, so the outcome is fair.

Lineups

• Barcelona: ter Stegen - Koundé, Araújo, Alonso, Alba - Xavi, Garcia, Roberto - Torres, Lewandowski, Fati.
• Real Madrid: Courtois - Vazquez, Militao, Alaba, Camavinga - Kroos, Tchouaméni - Asensio, Rodrigo, Vinicius - Benzema.

Expert Betting Tips

The importance of the upcoming game is difficult to overestimate, as the winner will reach the final and likely get the title. Recall that in the other semifinal, we see Athletic Bilbao and Osasuna - strong but inferior to the Catalan and the Madrid teams. Barcelona has an excellent opportunity to make a hat-trick at home because the Superercoppa is already theirs, and La Liga is almost a done deal. Real will do everything to stop their main rival and take revenge for three consecutive defeats in three different tournaments. Both teams are good right now, but we are on the visitors' side. We believe that they will make it to the final.
