In the first round of the Spanish Cup quarterfinals, Real Madrid hosted Barcelona in the "National Derby". The two teams have a history of intense encounters, the last four official matchups, the number of goals reached more than rounds, two encounters this season, the two sides each won a game, the score was fixed at 3-1, this matchup, the goal battle seems unavoidable, the number of goals is expected to reach 3.5 goals. (Grand Opening Friday, 4 a.m.)
For Real Madrid, scorer Benzema was plagued by injuries in the first half of the season, leading to a decline in the team's attacking power. Luckily, the French scorer has been back in form recently, scoring twice against Liverpool in the first leg of the UEFA Europa League round of 16. Another striker, Younesios, is also performing well, not only scoring frequently, but also creating chances for his teammates with his outstanding breakthrough ability, and the substitute, Marko Assinsio, is also making progress from time to time, making the team's attacking end strong.
In fact, Real Madrid must take advantage of their home field in the first leg and go all out on the attack, not only to win, but also to score more goals, so as not to be overtaken by the visitors in the second leg.
Barcelona all set for domestic honors after Europa League exit
Barcelona can only focus on domestic matches after their exit from the Europa League. The team recently suffered criticism after losing to Emilia in the league, and will be looking to turn things around against old rivals Real Madrid.
Barcelona's Rafinha Bironi, Ferentolis and other midfielders have both offensive and defensive skills, plus Real Madrid's defense is not solid enough, so there are many chances to score. Looking back on Barcelona's last three visits to Real Madrid, a total of six goals were scored, and in the last four official meetings between "Real Madrid" and Barcelona, the total number of goals scored reached four or more, a feast of goals seems inevitable, and betting on the over-under seems to be a wise choice.
