FC Barcelona vs Real Madrid CF Prediction 19 March 2023

The program of the twenty-sixth round of La Liga will end with the principal El Clasico between Barcelona and Real Madrid.

This season, Barcelona appeared to be a rather pragmatic team, as evidenced by their recent triumphs over Villarreal (1:0), Cadiz (2:0), Valencia (1:0) and Athletic (1:0), among which there was a 0-1 defeat from Almeria. The change in style of play is bearing fruit as the Blaugrana lead the peloton with 65 points and a goal difference of 47:8.

Real Madrid are in second place with 56 points and a 50:19 shooting record, but it will not be easy for them to recoup nine points behind the leader. It should be noted that over the past month, Los Blancos have been remembered for victories over Elche (4:0), Osasuna (2:0) and Espanyol (3:1), as well as a 1:1 draw with Atlético and 0:0 with Betis.

Earlier in 2023, Barcelona defeated Real Madrid twice in the Copa and Super Cup, while the first round of La Liga ended in favor of Madrid. We do not think that now the teams will please us with spectacular football, given their noticeably reduced attacking potential and the importance of the upcoming battle.
