Barcelona vs Real Madrid prediction
Barcelona are looking to secure a third victory over Real Madrid in the space of just eight days, whilst Los Blancos would like to salvage some respectability, even if progress to the semi-finals is extremely unlikely to say the least. Their backline was ripped apart by Barcelona in the first-leg with Ewa Pajor on the scoresheet twice, along with Esme Brugts, Irene Paredes, Vicky Lopez and Alexia Putellas from the spot.
However, Linda Caicedo’s brilliance did give Real Madrid fans something to cheer about as her pace and direct style of play paid off with two goals, one a scorcher from range, meaning the aggregate deficit stands at four goals. Four days later, these two fierce rivals faced off once again, this time in La Liga Femini with Barca this time victorious by three goals to nil.
Playing at the Camp Nou gives Pere Romeu’s side massive motivation to perform well in the second leg despite a 6-2 aggregate lead and on a big pitch, their players should enjoy lots of possession and really tire out Real Madrid by pulling them around the field across the 90 minutes. Despite that, Caicedo will once again be a big threat for Real Madrid. The Colombian attacker is best suited to playing on the counter-attack and when considering how high up the pitch the Barcelona backline play, it would be no surprise to see her gain a couple of big chances to score. Therefore, consider backing Barcelona not just to win by three clear goals, but also for both teams to find the net.
