Real Madrid CF vs FC Barcelona Prediction 2 March 2023

Real Madrid and Barcelona will face off in the fight for reaching the Spanish Cup final.

For the whole of 2023, Real Madrid plays in the “two matches per week” mode, which did not prevent them from winning the Club World Cup, actually guaranteeing themselves a spot in the Champions League quarter-finals, and after a 1-1 draw with Atletico, confidently hold second place in La Liga. In the Cup, Los Blancos easily passed the barriers in the form of Cacereno (1-0), Villarreal (3-2) and the aforementioned Atlético (3-1).

At the same time, Intercity (4-3), Ceuta (5-0) and Real Sociedad (1-0) became the victims of Barcelona - as we can see, the level of opposition among the Catalans was much lower. It should be noted that in the current campaign, Xavi's men have focused on winning the league, where even after the 0-1 defeat from Almeria they are leading with a seven-point handicap.

This season already, Barcelona defeated Madrid twice and definitely do not plan to stop there. However, the home crowd factor will push Los Blancos to be more active in attack, so we expect goals scored from both sides.
