Real Madrid vs Barcelona Match Preview:

Real Madrid

Real Madrid have not been beaten in 18 matches in La Liga and will want that to continue after this match. The last time they tasted defeat was against Barcelona back in October of last year. Since then they have managed 15 wins out of their 18 matches they have been unbeaten. Real Madrid are strong at the back as well as in attack. In their last 11 La Liga games they have kept 8 clean sheets.

Madrid have been installed as favourites to claim La Liga and also to win Sunday's Clasico clash, but Xabi Alonso is wary of Barcelona.

"Barca's players are very good, they know each other extremely well and have been playing together for a long time," the midfielder said.

"These matches are always intense and, historically, the two teams are always fighting it out for the biggest titles. There is maximum tension and the games are highly competitive."

And he added: "A win for us would be the best possible news - hopefully having played well and enjoyed ourselves too."

Team News:

Alvaro Arbeloa, Sami Khedira and Jese Rodriguez are all miss the Real Madrid game with injuries, Sergio Ramos returns from suspension, whilst Karim Benzema has totally overcome his minor injury.

Probable starting line-up (4-3-3): Lopez – Carvajal, Pepe, Ramos, Marcelo – Alonso, Modric, Di Maria – Bale, Ronaldo, Benzema.

Barcelona

Barcelona is in an uncomfortable situation but for that can blame only itself, because it had eight points more than Real but now has four points less and still has to go through the hellish atmosphere at the Santiago Bernabeu. There were many mistakes, mostly away, as only Valencia surprised it is at the Camp Nou. Basque country has cost it dearly as it lost to Real Sociedad and Athletic, and it drew with Osasuna in Pamplona. All that had spiced up the defeat in Valladolid two rounds ago when it hasn’t scored a goal, which was especially painful for the most efficient team of the league

but then in the last round Barcelona did restored confidence with a 7-0 win over Osasuna last weekend. In that game, Lionel Messie scored a hat-trick. That result came after the clash with Manchester City which saw them running in circles and failing to exert their dominance on the match in the Champions League. The player to watch out here will be Lionel Messi as he is their top scorer in the side.

Andres Iniesta said "We have had to go there and win to claim La Liga in other years, so if we want to repeat that this year we'll need to do the same. We'll have to play the perfect match."

And he added: "There cannot be any negative thought or doubt - what we want is to win and to put pressure on the leaders."

Team News:

Isaac Cuenca and Jonathan dos Santos remain on the sidelines. Carles Puyol is doubtful for the match, but Gerardo Martino has no other fresh injury worries ahead of the derby.

Probable starting line-up (4-3-3): Valdes – Dani Alves, Pique, Masherano, Alba – Busquets, Xavi, Iniesta – Pedro, Messi, Sanchez.

Chelsea FC vs Galatasaray | UEFA Champions League Preview, March 18, 2014

Chelsea FC vs Galatasaray | UEFA Champions League 2014 Chelsea and Galatasaray will fight for a quarter-final place after the first match in Istanbul finished with a 1:1 draw. Chelsea took lead in the 9th minute with Fernando Torres goal and Galatasaray equalized in 65th minute through Chedjou Aurelien. Match info : Date: March 18, 2014 KICK-OFF: tuesday, 7:45 PM GMT Venue: Stamford Bridge — London Referee:‬ F. Brych‎ Competition: UEFA Champions league 2013-14 TV ON: Fox Sports, Sky Sports, beIN SPORTS 1, beIN SPORTS 3, beIN SPORTS HD 1, beIN SPORTS HD 3   Chelsea managed to secure a very important 1-1 draw over in Turkey at the end of February and having scored an important away goal in that game, Jose Mourinho’s players look destined to qualify for the next round of the competition, where they could be the only English club left in the competition unless Manchester United can turn around a 2-0 defeat in wednesday night’s live game. Meanwhile, Galatsaray did not have their best moment at home two weeks ago so it would be a surprise if they can raise their game here. The Turkish side travelled to England on eight previous occasions and didn’t come away with a win from any of them. And five of those trips have ended in defeats as well. Looking at their away form, it is not too good, they have failed to win in their last four away games from home with a D1 L3 record. Their last away victory was in the second leg of last season’s round of sixteen, beating Schalke 3-2. Chelsea Team News: the Blues have experienced a shock in the championship last weekend, since they were defeated with 1-0 away at Aston Villa, with the fact that they ended the match without suspended Willian and Ramires. In this way, their advantage over Liverpool and Arsenal has now reduced to just four points, while Manchester City is still in the game for the title, because they have six points behind and three games less. However, their main priority is this match in the Champions League, so we expect that Mourinho will send a very strong team to the field, while he still cannot count on the injured midfielder van Ginkel and striker Eto’o, as well as two suspended newcomers Matic and Salah. Galatasaray Team News: The midfielder Aydın Yılmaz will miss the match due to an ankle injury. The defenders Aurelien Chedjou (groin), Gokhan Zan (hamstring) and Hakan Balta (thigh), as so the midfielder Hamit Altıntop (back) are doubtful in ftont of this match due to injuries.   The Statistics : CHELSEA LAST SIX HOME FORM DATE   RESULT OPPOSITION 2013-12-11  W 1-0   H v Steaua_Bucharest   2013-11-06  W 3-0   H v Schalke   2013-09-18  L 1-2   H v Basel   2012-12-05  W 6-1   H v Nordsjaelland   2012-11-07  W 3-2   H v Shaktar_Donetsk   2012-09-19  D 2-2   H v Juventus   GALATASARAY LAST SIX AWAY FORM DATE   RESULT OPPOSITION 2013-11-27  L 4-1   A v Real_Madrid   2013-11-05  L 1-0   A v Copenhagen   2013-10-02  D 2-2   A v Juventus   2013-04-03  L 3-0   A v Real_Madrid   2013-03-12  W 2-3   A v Schalke   2012-12-05  W 1-2   A v Braga   HEAD TO HEAD CHELSEA v GALATASARAY DATE   HOME SCORE   AWAY 1999-09-28    Chelsea   1-0   Galatasaray
