I'm looking forward to these 2 games this weekend. I'm very curious. Do you think Real Madrid and Barcelona will win easily? Or will Madrid suffer another defeat? Or a random result in the game?
My speculation is that the Madrid match will be easier to get 3 points. Compared to Barcelona, who will need to maintain the stamina and physicality of their players, who currently have an important schedule in the UCL. On the one hand, Barcelona have had difficulties with draws in the UCL. Surely, this weekend's match could produce surprises, depending on whether the main players appear early.
Real Madrid's last hope for this season is La Liga. This very game will partially determine or confirm whether it will be a trophy-less season for them or not. If they lose, that's an additional three points for their rival, and I don't see Barcelona letting go of that lead to the extent of Real Madrid taking over the top spot until the end of the season. Yet, even if they win, it still doesn't guarantee anything; Barcelona can still succeed with the small margin they've created.
Thus, it's hard to clearly predict. I didn't see a significant difference in their last game, even though it was a final. They clearly have issues with their defense, and Barcelona is somewhat facing the same problem (the only difference is that Barca still has some good replacements). Nevertheless, I still think Barcelona will win again.
