Real Madrid vs Barcelona

Match Preview: Barcelona vs Real Madrid (Wednesday, 5th April, 2023)

Contributors: @MaccasValueBets & @ScottyThorn21

Barcelona find themselves in a strong position heading into the second leg of their crucial domestic fixture against Real Madrid. They lead their rivals 1-0 after a hard-fought first-leg victory at the Santiago Bernabeu.

The Catalan giants have been in great form this season, but they are yet to win the domestic treble in their history. This could be the year they finally achieve that feat, with the La Liga title and Copa del Rey up for grabs and the Spanish Super Cup already in the bag.

Real Madrid, on the other hand, will be desperate to overturn the deficit and progress to the next round. They have had four offsides in the last two matches they have played against Barcelona, highlighting the importance of their attacking threat in this matchup.

Barcelona's opponents this season are averaging 3.16 offsides per game, suggesting that they have been effective in playing a high defensive line and catching opposing players offside. They should stick to this strategy in the second leg and look to frustrate Real Madrid's attacking players.

On the other hand, Real Madrid need to attack with intensity in order to win by the required two-goal margin. They have the quality and experience to cause problems for Barcelona's defence, but they will need to be clinical in front of goal.
