Real Madrid vs Barcelona
Copa Del Rey 2018-19
Venue: Santiago Bernabeu
Kick-off: 8pm GMT
Real Madrid host Barcelona tonight in the first of two Clasicos taking place this week.
Spain's arch-rivals meet in the second leg of the Copa del Rey on Wednesday with the tie poised at 1-1 following a draw at the Nou Camp at the start of February.
Barcelona crushed Los Blancos on their own turf back in September with a 5-1 La Liga defeat in Catalonia costing Julen Lopetegui his job.
Real were a much improved unit in this tie's first leg a few weeks ago however with Lucas Vazquez giving them the lead before Malcom hit back with an equaliser.
In front of their own supporters, Real will now be looking to end Barcelona's dominance of this competition which stretches back to 2015.
Score prediction: Real Madrid 0-1 Barcelona
Real Madrid followed up that 1-1 draw at the Nou Camp with a huge derby victory over Atletico Madrid at the Wanda Metropolitano.
A 2-1 defeat at home to Girona and a very unconvincing win away to Levante on Sunday have hardly been ideal preparation, however.
After an underwhelming February that saw Barcelona pick up just one win in five - that sole win a narrow one at home to Valladolid - Ernesto Valverde's side ended the month in style against Sevilla on Saturday with Lionel Messi hitting the peaks that will once again make him the most dangerous man on the pitch on Wednesday.
