The Real Madrid vs. Barcelona match will be played on Wednesday, February 26, at the Santiago Bernabeu Stadium, Madrid. This is the second semifinal leg of Copa del Rey. In the first match played in Barcelona, the result was 1:1.

STATS

• Real Madrid was in a series of eight matches without a defeat, before a shocking home defeat against Girona. Last weekend they defeated Levante and saved a glimpse of hope in the race for the title.
• Barcelona is undefeated in their last eight matches in all competitions, but they recorded four draws in their last six matches. Also, in four out of the last five matches we saw under 2.5 goals, which is very uncharacteristic for Barcelona.

HEAD TO HEAD

In their previous ten meetings, Real Madrid recorded three wins, Barcelona had four wins, while three matches ended in a draw. In seven out of those ten matches we saw over 2.5 goals, and we even saw over 4.5 goals three times! Also, in only two occasions one team failed to score.

REAL MADRID NEWS

Real Madrid will decide the fate of both domestic competitions this week. First, they will play against Barcelona in Copa del Rey and right after that they will face the same opponent in La Liga. If they win both matches, they might have a chance to close the gap in league and finally win the title. Of course, even a goalless draw is enough for them to qualify for the final, but that's hardly an option - we haven't seen a goalless draw between these two teams since 2002!
