Sunday’s LaLiga action concludes with a match that is one of the biggest in world soccer, as Barcelona and Real Madrid renew their rather bitter rivalry at Camp Nou. Given where we are in the season, this El Clasico cannot alter the standings, with the hosts already wrapping up the title, but we shouldn’t make the mistake of thinking that this does not matter. Whether there are important points on the line or not, both teams will want to win what is always a fiercely contested match.
Playing against each other for the third time this season, both will be looking to end the season with the El Clasico bragging rights, after Los Blancos won the reverse LaLiga fixture, before Barcelona triumphed in the Spanish Super Cup duel. Looking at the early lines, it’s worth betting on home-team forward Marcus Rashford to register an assist.

Barcelona - Real Madrid: Form Analysis
As far as recent form is concerned, the hosts have been perfect. They’ll head into Sunday’s El Clasico off the back of beating Osasuna in a rather efficient style, while they made light work of defeating Getafe prior to that. Hansi Flick’s men have now won each of their five games since disappointingly losing at home to Atletico Madrid in the UCL quarter-finals. They’ve also won nine of their last ten games in all competitions, which is not to be taken lightly.
They’ve also won nine of their last ten games in all competitions, which is not to be taken lightly.
In contrast, the visitors approach this game in rather patchy form, having not won back-to-back games since March. It’s clear to see that things aren’t going swimmingly for Los Blancos, who have clearly been hit quite hard by the realisation that it’s going to be a baron season. Reportedly in talks with bringing back Jose Mourinho, the visitors have won only two of their last seven games in all competitions, three of which they’ve lost.

Barcelona & Real Madrid Squad Analysis
From a personnel point of view, the hosts are sitting pretty right now. Sure, they do have star player Lamine Yamal out, and we can’t make out that the absence of the winger doesn’t weaken the hosts, because it does, but they do have all other key players fit and ready for action. Having come off the bench to register a timely assist last time out, Marcus Rashford should return to the starting XI.
Head coach Alvara Arbeloa will not be able to call upon the services of long-time servant Dani Carvajal, whose fight and experience is often invaluable in these big games, while Arder Guler is also sidelined.
It's a different story for the visitors, who have several absentees to deal with at present. Head coach Alvara Arbeloa will not be able to call upon the services of long-time servant Dani Carvajal, whose fight and experience is often invaluable in these big games, while Arder Guler is also sidelined. The same can be said for Ferland Mendy and Federico Valverde, which definitely leaves the visitors weakened. Regular keeper Thibaut Courtois is also a doubt.

Our Barcelona vs Real Madrid Prediction
Against a wounded Real Madrid team, the hosts should be capable of enjoying themselves, especially on the break, where the visitors have struggled in recent weeks, and where Marcus Rashford thrives. The Barcelona speedster registered an assist last time out, and with his tail up, he could easily turn provider against Los Blancos.
Earlier in the season, we saw Rashford assist against Real Madrid, while his creative numbers in general are very interesting, so much so that he goes down as a value play at odds of +275.
