THE PREDICTION

Real Madrid return to action a day after Barcelona knowing they have little margin for error following their rivals’ win on Saturday night in Mallorca. Zinedine Zidane has all his key men available including a fully fit Eden Hazard who has been looking much fitter and sharper in training. They will look to him to inspire them and they should be capable of keeping a clean sheet and moving closing the gap again on Barca.
