Now, let’s take a closer look at some betting angles for Saturday’s Copa del Rey fixture:
Barcelona v Real Madrid – Saturday, 9pm
- Barcelona remain on course for a quadruple under Hansi Flick, his side sit at the top of La Liga by four points ahead of Real Madrid, they remain in the UEFA Champions League semi-final, they’ve already won the Spanish Super Cup and now have a chance to claim the Copa del Rey on Saturday evening.
- Barca hold the record in this competition in terms of the number of times they’ve won it, topping the pile with thirty-one. However, this is their first final in the Copa del Rey since 2021, when they beat Athletic Club 4-0.
- After a 1-0 victory against Mallorca on Tuesday, Hansi Flick’s side have now lost just one of their last twenty-seven games across all competitions, whilst they’ve faced Real Madrid twice already this season, winning both fixtures and scoring nine goals in the process (0-4 and 2-5).
——————————– - It’s been a poor campaign as far as Real Madrid are concerned but they battled it out for a 1-0 victory against Getafe on Wednesday evening to keep them in with a shout of winning La Liga, especially given the two sides have still got to play each other in May.
- There’s strong rumours circulating that this could be Carlo Ancelotti’s final game in charge of Madrid but a victory here could possibly change all that and could even install some belief into Los Blancos, they will be hoping Kylian Mbappe will make his return in this one.
- This is the eighth Copa del Rey final which has hosted an El Clasico fixture, Real Madrid have won four of those finals, with the most recent occurring back in 2014. We should be in for goals in this one, fourteen of the last fifteen competitive meetings between the two sides have produced at least three goals.
Prediction: Both Teams To Score & Barcelona To Win, Barcelona 3-2 Real Madrid.
