Enter the Real Madrid of the signatory is in the lead of La Liga, three points behind arch-rivals and the game less, and hopes to coach Jose Mourinho to repeat what he did with the team once in seven previous occasions when they beat Barcelona in the Cup Final in April / April, is to be considered against a team coach Guardiola.
In their conflict continued always on the titles, won Barcelona four victories in their last five games, including two wins, two large recently against BATE Borisov in the Champions League (4 - zero) and Levante in La Liga (5 - zero), but the Catalans suffered this season when playing outside rules, winning on two occasions 1 - zero is equivalent to three times and once was lost to Getafe.
The Royal Group is going through the best days if it is true he has a series of 10 cases of consecutive wins in the league in addition to the record (15 consecutive wins in all competitions this season).
And continued absence of Ricardo Carvalho for the defense club Almadrida of injury while the rest of the players in good condition to fight a battle and highlighting them both Marcelo and Quintrao and who will be entrusted the task of stopping golden boy Lionel Messi's 17 goals this season in La Liga so far, which has always scored against Real Madrid in the previous encounters (13 goals in 15 games).
The leader of the scorers along with Messi, Cristiano Ronaldo will be in front of a golden opportunity for revenge from Barcelona and prove that it is also can emerge in the fighting task.
Fear of the outcome of the game
And pursued by the parties in their statements before the meeting, caution as said Mourinho after the match with Ajax in the Champions League, saying: "There can never know what will happen in football, it carries always a lot of surprises," he continued: "But we now feel more confident and we are better than last season. "
The architect of Barcelona midfielder Xavi Hernandez believes that: "No value for the statistics and numbers in football players legs to set foot on the pitch, and therefore everything is possible and many things that may change the course of the meeting."
He continued by saying: "Yes it is true that Real is in good condition, they're better than last year, but this does not mean a thing and every face of its provisions."
He added Xavi, who will match the 600 with Barcelona in the event of launching his meeting: "Clasico has nothing to do with numbers and statistics and everything can happen."
Any plan?
The most prominent question arises here, you will keep Mourinho normal to the line he plays a 4-2-3-1, or resort to another plan the engagement of Pepe in the middle of the field and rely on the 4-3-3 plan in an attempt to stop the operations of Messi.
In the case of a plan adopted 4-3-3, Mourinho has thrown all of the German Sami Khedira and Lassana Diarra together to promote the company of Alonso, the midfield and defense to repel attempts to Barcelona and that could be coming in on goal Almadrida.
In the Portuguese attack may depend on the triple-form recently, Cristiano Ronaldo, a routine for the scorers and Argentine Angel Di Maria, who leads the Order-makers goals while playing striker will be frank most probably Karim Benzema.
In contrast, Guardiola has recently tested a variety 3-4-3 involvement accompanied by Fabregas and Xavi Iniesta in the midfield, which is returned and advised him when Spain coach Vicente del Bosque, who saw that Guardiola to rely on a variety 3-4-3 and its mission will succeed against Real.
The presence of Fabregas with Barcelona factor tactical distinctive Guardiola as granted by the flexibility of choice, if involved Fabregas accompanied by Xavi and Iniesta have profit element can control the midfield and scoring goals on both, but Guardiola seems somewhat ambivalent and could return to his classical 4 - 3-3.
The topic raises the question lies in the line of attack, it will be accompanied by Messi? Do you keep Guardiola on David Villa struggling recently involve basic or Pedro and Chilean Alexis Sanchez, who has his nose for goal back after a spell injured?
