Second leg in the most interesting quarter-final of the Copa del Rey as Real Madrid travel to their biggest rival Barcelona trying to restore the one goal deficit from last week’s match.

Barcelona has the upper hand in this double leg battle as they managed a superb performance last week on Santiago Bernabeu, surpassing their opponents from start to finis, and grabbing a well deserved 1-2 victory.

They should now have an easier match on home pitch, at least in theory, as the biggest derby in football can change the victorious side fast. They managed to build on their success and trashed Mallorca 1-4 in the weekend, keeping their morale at top levels. Barcelona’s tactic should remain the same and no big changes should occur from last week’s cup game, with the Catalan keeper still needing to prove it’s value for the fans.

Real Madrid apparently with a mountain to climb, after they employed an ultra defensive tactic in the first leg, stunning every one as they held back on home ground, is expected to change formation.

They will clearly need to go on the offensive and this in turn can leave big gaps in their defense. So far Mourinho has been clearly inferior to it’s direct opponent and it will be interesting if he can make the change.

My pick: Barcelona to win ( over 2.5 goals )
