Where to watch Real Madrid vs Barcelona?

One of the most watched matches in the world will take place at the Santiago Bernabéu on Sunday 21 April. The opening kick-off is scheduled for 21:00. Viewers can watch the live stream on Nova Sport 4.

Real Madrid guard 8 point lead

The home side will go into the match with one goal, not to lose. Most of the players have up to 120 minutes of Wednesday’s Champions League match in their legs and matches with Barcelona are always heated. The White Ballet have an 8 point lead at the top of La Liga, with each team 6 games to go after the return leg. However, Real enjoyed their last mutual duel, when they defeated their opponent 4-1 in the Super Cup.

Real Madrid’s biggest offensive weapon is of course the trio of Vinícius, Bellingham and Rodrygo. All 3 players have already scored at least 10 goals this La Liga season. Moreover, the English midfielder goes into the game knowing that he was the one who decided the last league fixture with 2 goals.

Barcelona have to absorb being knocked out of the Champions League

An unnecessarily wasted lead, that’s how you could describe the double-header with PSG. However, Barcelona must move away from this topic and focus only on the Spanish league. Barcelona are 8 points behind Real and a win would help them into the final part of the season. The White Ballet have advanced further in the Champions League, so a lighter schedule could play in favour of the Catalans.

Raphinha and Lamile Yamal have been showing the best form of late. The Brazilian registered 3 goals in 2 games against Paris and has been the main offensive weapon despite having only 5 goals and 7 assists in La Liga. Yamal is already having a fantastic season at the age of 16. He has 4 goals and 3 assists in the Spanish league and is tearing up defender after defender on the right wing.

Betting tip – Real Madrid to win

The duels are often very evenly matched, with goals on both sides contributing to the result. This duel should be no exception. Real Madrid are in a slight psychological advantage in the current situation and are therefore likely to win the match, especially at their home stadium. If we’re talking about a player who excels in big games, it will probably be Rodrygo. The Brazilian also managed to score on Wednesday at the Etihad Stadium.
