Madrid, Spain – The hottest show in football, El Clasico, don land again on Sunday, 26 October, and both teams no wan carry last. Real Madrid and Barcelona go face off for the Santiago Bernabeu, and trust me, no be small drama we go see. Real Madrid dey hold the advantage as dem don already get two points ahead of Barca for the league table.
This season, Real Madrid don dey shine like new pin, winning 11 out of 12 matches across all competitions. But dem no fit deceive demself o! Last two games don just dey end with 1-0, so e show say something dey miss. Barcelona, on the other side, don find dem groove again after dem beat Olympiacos 6-1, with Fermin Lopez carrying hat-trick go house (I hope say no be ‘zanku’ we go see for the match).
We fit expect firework for this match because both teams get their own defensive wahala. Barcelona high line no too dey safe recently; dem don allow 7.2 xG across their last four games. As for Madrid, dem self dey suffer from defensive confusion. Only Eder Militao fit play well as all dem other centre-backs don dey either injured or shaky.
Barcelona last year na master of El Clasico, winning all four meetings, but this time, Madrid dey hungry for revenge. And no forget, Kylian Mbappe, the man wey dey bring the goals. Last season, he catch offside pass anytime wey e run, but now, na im be the main guy as e don score 14 goals for 12 matches this season!
Gary Lineker, the former Barcelona striker wey sabi goal well, don talk say e dey expect serious gbon-gbon (that’s fire, for my non-pidgin friends). This man don predict plenty goals for the game, e even dey predict 4-3 in favour of Barcelona. But with the way wey Mbappe dey dance for the pitch, e fit shock everybody again.
The game go start by 3:15 PM local time, and you fit catch am live for Premier Sports 1 for UK. Prepare your popcorn, ’cause this El Clasico promise to no disappoint!
