BAR vs RM Dream11 Prediction, Live Score % FC Barcelona vs Real Madrid CF Football Match Dream Team: La Liga

It’s the first El Clasico of the season and what a game it promises to be. League leaders Barcelona host second placed Real Madrid who have only lost one league match this season. Both sides drew at the weekend and Barca only lead on goal difference from their opponents. This is their game in hand on the rest of the league and they are already four points clear of third placed Sevilla. Barcelona drew 2-2 at Real Sociedad at the weekend, trailing 1-0 but also leading 2-1. The Spanish champions are undefeated in their last nine games and the weekend draw ended a run of eight successive wins. Home form has seen Barcelona without a defeat in their last 19 home league matches with the last 14 all ending in victories.

Real Madrid have only lost one league game this season. They could have gone top on Sunday but were held to a 1-1 draw by Valencia. That was a game they so nearly lost as a 90th minute Benzema goal was required to rescue a point. Madrid are unbeaten in their last 11 games since a 1-0 defeat at Mallorca. Only two of their last five away league games have ended in victory and they look like struggling in this game. Go for a Barcelona home win to take them three points clear at the top of La Liga.

Barcelona are in good form at present and will be expecting to win this match. They will go three points clear of Real Madrid if winning this delayed El Clasico fixture. Barcelona’s home record is excellent and they average scoring more than four goals a game with a 7-0-0 record for the season. Real Madrid aren’t quite a powerful force on their travels with only four out of eight away league matches being won this season. A bet on Barcelona winning this game is the one to make.

Barcelona have a number of key players listed as out and doubts ahead of El Clasico. Ousmane Dembele is the main loss and is out with a thigh injury, which means he will play no part against Madrid. Arthur is also unavailable. He has missed the last three games.

Real Madrid have a number of long-term injury problems as they head into the biggest game of the domestic season so far. Marco Asensio is out and may not play again this season following a knee injury.

Eden Hazard is also unlikely to play again in 2019 following a toe injury and so will not be available to face Barca, likewise, James Rodriguez will also be out until at least the new year.

Lucas Vasquez will not be back in training for around a month after fracturing his toe and Marcelo is still recovering from a calf problem. Ferland Mendy is available again following suspension.

There is a definite trend developing in recent El Clasico encounters that gives Barcelona a strong advantage. They have been dominant for a while over their rivals and will be expecting to continue that trend on Wednesday.

Barca have been scoring more freely than Real Madrid in the league this season, hitting 43 goals compared to Madrid’s 33. However they are fragile at the back and have leaked eight more goals with 20 conceded so far.

It should be another full-blooded encounter and one which could decide the title…. in Barcelona‘s favour.

BAR VS RM: Best players

Barcelona

Lionel Messi is a dominant figure in world football and in this fixture he has been outrageously efficient. In the 41 appearances he has played against Real Madrid, Messi has scored 26 times and has also got 14 assists in all competitions.

You know he will always have a say in how important matches turn out but with this one being as vital as it is, don’t be surprised to see Messi turn on the style.

Key stat: Messi has directly contributed to 18 goals in La Liga this season (12 goals and six assists), no player has contributed to more.

Real Madrid

The French forward has been reborn this season for Zindane’s side. He is their standout performer, top scorer and top creator.

In fact, they could be out of the title race already if it were not for his clinical edge. The team from the capital have struggled to keep scoring pace with Barcelona this season but Benzema has weighed in with a dozen strikes, 36% of his Madrid’s total league outlay so far.

His late goal against Valencia last time out could prove pivotal at the end of the season.

Key stat: Benzema has scored 12 goals for Real Madrid in La Liga this season, at least nine more than any other Los Blancos player.
