Our prediction for this Primera Division match:
The ground in Barcelona will shake when two fierce rivals take on each other in El Clasico. Barca aim to build on a 3-1 win over Valencia where Sergio Aguero made his return from injury, but they will have a big fish to fry in Sunday’s derby. Fit-again winger Ansu Fati will be the man to watch in the home team, while all Ronald Araujo, Pedri, Martin Braithwaite, and Moussa Wague remain in the recovery room.
Los Blancos, on the other hand, failed to impress in a 2-1 loss to Espanyol in their last league match. Real Madrid are eager to make amends for the shocking defeat, and given their attacking potential, we believe that there is a big value in betting on both teams to score. All Luka Jovic, Isco, Eden Hazard, Daniel Carvajal, Gareth Bale, and Daniel Ceballos are likely to miss the game with injuries.

Highlighted Team (Real Madrid):
Real Madrid is a Spanish football club based in Madrid. Real Madrid participate in La Liga (Primera Division) and they have won 32 domestic titles. On the other hand, los Blancos have won 13 European Cup titles and that is the main reason why they are considered the biggest football club in the world.
Real Madrid play their home matches at Estadio Santiago Bernabeu and the capacity of the stadium is 84,454. Cristiano Ronaldo is the club’s most successful footballer in the 21st century and the Portuguese superstar has won two Golden Ball awards.
The likes of Alfredo Di Stefano, Zinedine Zidane, Raul Gonzalez Blanco, David Beckham and Iker Casillas are star players who were part of the Estadio Santiago Bernabeu outfit in the past. Real Madrid’s bitterest rivals are Barcelona, but the rivalry between local rivals Atletico Madrid and Real Madrid is big as well. Real Madrid’s home kit is white and, as a result, the team’s nickname is los Blancos (the Whites).
