T<\/span>here is no biggest game in Spanish football, Real Madrid against Barcelona<\/a><\/strong> , and the pair will once again do battle in the Copa del Rey semi-final<\/strong>. <\/p>\n

Both teams suffered disappointing results in their last domestic outings, dropping points, but they will be hoping to defeat their biggest rival to book a place in the final, as well as potentially landing a damaging blow to their opponent’s title challenge. <\/p>\n

Everyone knows the two teams have excellent qualities, Los Blancos showed them against Liverpool<\/strong><\/a>, whilst the Blaugrana have largely been excellent in Spain this term. <\/p>\n

However, both are arriving into the Copa del Rey<\/strong> tie with fragile confidence after some poor results. <\/p>\n

Real Madrid vs Barcelona predicted line-ups <\/h2>\n

Real Madrid have suffered a lot of injuries throughout the course of the campaign, but they will be without Ferland Mendy, David Alaba and Rodrygo Goes for the visit of Los Cules. <\/p>\n

Barcelona will make the trip without Ousmane Dembele, Pedri, Robert Lewandowski and Ansu Fati<\/strong> who are all injured. <\/p>\n

There is also a question mark over Raphinha’s fitness as he is struggling with a knock. <\/p>\n

Real Madrid’s predicted XI (4-3-3)<\/strong>: Courtois, Carvajal, Militao, Rudiger, Nacho, Kroos, Modric, Tchouameni, Valverde, Vinicius Jr, Benzema<\/p>\n

Barcelona’s predicted XI (4-3-3)<\/strong>: Ter Stegen, Kounde, Araujo, Christensen, Balde, Busquets, Kessie, De Jong, Raphinha, Gavi, Torres <\/p>\n
