Ancelotti set on an El Clasico win against Koeman
Koeman fighting for his job
For some time now, it's seemed as if Ronald Koeman would be sacked by Barcelona. But, the Dutchman has somehow continued his role as Barca manager, and he could well set himself on a good path with an El Clasico win on Sunday. Their 3-1 win against Valencia, including goals from Philippe Coutinho, Memphis Depay and Ansu Fati have given Koeman a result to build on, adding to their 1-0 midweek win against Dynamo Kyiv.
Ancelotti has a title winning squad
Unlike Barca, who's squad quality has been regularly called into question, Real Madrid have the quality in depth to win the La Liga title. The convincing midweek win against Shakhtar Donetsk, taking an emphatic 5-0 victory in Ukraine, would be given Madrid some much needed confidence to triumph in this El Clasico. The sides' talisman Karim Benzema has been firing on all cylinders, with 11 goals in as many matches this season has helped Real Madrid win one over on their immediate title rivals, Atletico Madrid.
Koeman's side lack confidence or much ability in recent matches. Real Madrid have been in confident form and I can see them continuing such form in this El Clasico. That's why I'm going with a Real Madrid win with bet365.
