Real Madrid welcome the visitors Barcelona in the Spanish Copa del Rey – Semi-final. The match will be held on Wednesday, February, 27th, at the Estadio Santiago Bernabeu (Madrid).
The hosting Real Madrid managed to improve their placement in the La Liga standings – presently the team take the third tier, but they can hardly claim the championship, as they run nine points behind the top line (Barcelona are unlikely to miss the first place given their handicap). Actually, the ‘Royals’ feature no great chances for the Champions League championship either, even though they kicked into gear. Therefore, to gain at least one trophy this campaign, Solari’s men will play their best in the coming fixture against Barcelona. In the first leg, they resisted Barcelona well in the outing, now they hold a home encounter under their fans’ support.

The Catalans are traditionally considered favorites in all competitions, but they concentrate more on the Champions League, wherein they are expected to win Lyon, and the La Liga, in which they ensured a solid handicap, rather than on the Copa del Rey. In the first meeting, Barcelona failed to surpass Real at home, drawing there; now they face a more challenging encounter away. The travelers may concede in this clash, as they are competing with Real again soon, yet in the league, and they are expected to be more motivated for that fixture.
The coming match will see a meeting of two giants boasting top performers, but Real will be more motivated on Wednesday, as they cannot afford running with no trophies, even though they climbed the table. Also, the home match factor will favor the hosts, therefore, their no-loss is predicted.
Prediction for the match: Real Madrid to win or Draw.
