Prediction published on 4/21/24, 11:22 AM by Bradley Gibbs in LaLiga Picks

On Sunday, one of the biggest games in world soccer takes place as Real Madrid and Barcelona go head-to-head in the latest renewal of the fixture known as El Classico. With the hosts eight points clear in the title race, they have the hance to rub salt into the wounds of bitter rivals Barcelona, who are not only lagging behind in the league, but were dumped out of the UEFA Champions League on Tuesday evening. Can the visitors pick themselves up and turn in a decent performance at the Bernabeu? Or will the hosts have too much in the locker, just as they did earlier in the campaign?

Ahead of this game, it is the home team that dominates the early betting. Following their Champions League victory against Manchester City in the week, alongside the fact that they are currently eight points clear at the top of La Liga, Real Madrid are strong favourites to win this match. They are currently available to win at odds of -115. Contrastingly, Barcelona, who lost to Real Madrid by four goals to one when the pair met earlier in the season, and who lost to PSG in the Champions League in the week, are much less fancied by the early market. The visitors can be bet on at odds of +275.

Our Real Madrid vs Barcelona Prediction

In the last week or so, the pair have moved in separate directions. Both teams have maintained their strong league form, but after that fantastic win against the current champions of Europe, it is the Real Madrid players who'll come into this game with more confidence. While Los Blancos made it to the semi-finals, Barca failed to make it beyond the quarters, despite holding the lead against PSG after the first leg. This is now a big opportunity for the hosts to cement their position as the best team in Spain right now. From a betting point of view, betting on the hugely in-form Rodrygo to score for the hosts appeals most. The Brazilian was once again effective during the week, as he scored against City, for the second time in a week, while he's now scored five goals in his last five games. He also scored against Barca earlier in the season. He'll be a big threat on the break here, make no mistake about it, so don't be surprised if he kicks the visitors while they're down. At the current odds, he looks generously priced to do just that. Our Prediction: Rodrygo to Score.
