HIGHLIGHTED FIXTURES
The FA Cup quarterfinals, El Clasico, Derby della Capitale, and Derby d’Italia are ahead of us.
March 19.
Barcelona [ vs. ] Real Madrid (El Clásico)
Barcelona will be 12 points clear with a home win.
After seeing off Liverpool in the Champions League, Real Madrid has a meeting with Barcelona in what will most likely be the La Liga title decider.
Real Madrid were ‘3-1’ winners in the reverse fixture but Barcelona has picked up two wins from cup matches since then. Barcelona were ‘3-1’ winners in the Spanish Super Cup final, and ‘1-0’ winners in the first-leg of the Copa del Rey semifinal.
Barcelona has a 9-point lead in the title race. If Real Madrid can get a win at Camp Nou to reduce the point gap between the two teams to 6, the remaining 12 matches of the La Liga season will be a thrilling one.
Lazio [ vs. ] Roma (Derby della Capitale)
Lazio has a two-point lead over Roma, with Lazio in a Champions League qualifying position (3rd) while Roma isn’t. A victory for Roma will change this.
Lazio will move to second place with a win against Roma, if Juventus avoids defeat against inter Milan.
Lazio were 1-0 winners in the reverse fixture and 3-2 winners the last time they played as the home team against Roma.
Roma is coming from a 4-3 defeat against Sassuolo in their last league match.
Lazio is coming from a goalless draw with AC Milan in their last league match.
Inter Milan [ vs. ] Juventus (Derby d’Italia)
Inter Milan is looking to make it a title race with Napoli, while Juventus is trying to boost their hopes of getting into the ‘top 4’.
Juventus were ‘2-0’ winners in the reverse fixture, so it is up to Inter Milan to make amends.
Inter Milan comes to this game after reaching the quarterfinals of the UEFA Champions League, but they are without a win in two games and suffered a 2-1 defeat against Spezia in their most recent league fixture.
Juventus is coming from a 4-2 win over Sampdoria.
