FC Barcelona v Real Madrid Preview
Real Madrid face El Clásico with optimism after winning 9 out the last 10 games, including a great victory in the derby against Atlético de Madrid. On Wednesday, they thrashed again Cultural Leonesa in Copa del Rey and they opened the gap with Barcelona in La Liga on Sunday, when culés drew at Anoeta.
Actually, Barcelona have dropped points in the last two games in La Liga, failing to beat Málaga and Real Sociedad. They couldn’t win in their Copa del Rey fixture against Hércules, a third division team.
Luis Enrique can recover Andrés Iniesta, who is expected to start, and Umtiti, who will fight for a place with Javier Mascherano. Zidane has now available Casemiro, who could start instead of Isco. Varane and Pepe also fight for a position in the defence line.

FC Barcelona v Real Madrid Prediction
Real Madrid are in a really great form and we could expect them to win at Camp Nou. Los Blancos are unbeaten in the last 32 games and this will be a high test. If they get the three points, Los Blancos will be 9 points clear from FC Barcelona.
Cristiano Ronaldo showed on Saturday that he’s still the best scorer in La Liga. The Portuguese has scored 5 goals in the last two games in La Liga, becoming the topscorer of the competition. We should expect over 2,5 goals, because we’ve seen that in all 10 last games of Real Madrid.
Zidane’s side was able to win at Camp Nou last season, thanks to Cristiano Ronaldo and Karim Benzema goals to overcome the goal from Piqué. However, Blaugranas beat Los Blancos at Bernabéu (0-4) in a painful defeat.
