Real Madrid vs Barcelona 02.03.2023

The rivalry between Real and Barca continues on Thursday as both sides lock horns for a place in the Copa del Rey final. For Real, they are in firm control of winning at least one silverware this season having thumped Liverpool 5-2 in the UCL last 16 first-leg tie. To remain in contention for a possible double, getting past Barca here is crucial. In fact, it could be a major confidence booster for the 19-time winners in their quest to chase down Barcelona from the La Liga summit.

Having crashed out of the Europa League, Barcelona will be looking to protect their quest for a 32nd Copa Del Rey title. With 8 points difference between them and Real, Barca seem to be in control of their La Liga fortunes. To boost their chances of clinching a domestic double, Barca will be gunning for a win here.

A clash between these sides have always been competitive. Here, we expect the intensity to continue with the second half producing the most goals.
