Match Predict – Real Madrid win
After losing to Barcelona in Santiago Bernabeu 0:4, Real Madrid will look to bounce back at Estadio de Balaídos on Saturday afternoon. It’s hard to believe that Carlo Ancelotti’s team will lose points for the second match in a row. Despite the terrible defeat from Catalans, Los Blancos are still the best team in the Spanish top division and the best away team as well.

The manager of Madrid side Carlo Ancelotti was unhappy with the result but insisted that they have to stay calm, as they had a big lead in La Liga.
‘We have lost a battle. However, we have to forget that and move forward. We have a big lead in La Liga’, – said Ancelotti.
Real Madrid have the division’s best record with just 10 wins, 2 draws and 2 losses in their 14 away games. 9 of Los Blancos’ 14 away matches in La Liga have ended with more than 2.5 goals this season.
