Real Madrid Femenino vs Barcelona Women Match Analysis and Prediction

5 years ago 784

Real Madrid Femenino will play host to Barcelona Women on Tuesday in an El Clasico contest that has a semi-final place in the Women’s Champions League at stake.

The hosts secured the spot in the quarter-finals by finishing second in their group, while Barcelona Women made it through a group that contained Arsenal and Hoffenheim.

Real Madrid enter the contest in a brilliant form after winning eight of their last nine matches across all competitions.

However, the only defeat in that period came against the reigning European Champions just over a week ago, with Barcelona taking a 5-0 victory.

They bounced back at the weekend though, winning 2-0 against UDG Tenerife in a game that could prove crucial in the race for Champions League qualification.

With the formidable chance of playing the second leg in front of a capacity crowd at the Camp Nou, Real Madrid will recognise the importance of securing a positive result from the home contest on Tuesday.

Meanwhile, Barcelona have already wrapped up the league title after winning all 24 of their Primera Iberdrola matches, but they will still be eyeing the treble with the Copa de la Reina and Champions League up for grabs.

Largely regarded as the favourites for another European title, Barcelona will be looking to continue their 100% record in all competitions this season.

Jonatan Giraldez has seen his side net a minimum of three goals in their last 10 competitive matches, while they have conceded just three goals in that period.

Barcelona’s quality was also showcased in the group stage, with tha champions scoring 24 goals across their six victories to demonstrate that they are not the team to beat in the competition.

Unlike their hosts, Barcelona enjoyed a weekend off, with their last match a 3-0 Copa del Rey victory over Real Sociedad last Wednesday.
