El Clasico 2016: Form Guide, Live Stream, Barcelona vs. Real Madrid Predictions

Barcelona can kill off Real Madrid's faint hopes of lifting the Spanish league title by winning this season's second Clasico.

Barca won the first meeting with their bitter rivals 4-0 at the Santiago Bernabeu back in November.

Manager Luis Enrique's squad will be firm favourites on home soil at the Camp Nou. Expect the Luis Suarez and Lionel Messi-led forward line to once again prove too much for Los Blancos.

Barcelona are determined to win another Clasico and pay tribute to club legend Johan Cruyff, who recently passed away from lung cancer, according to star attacking midfielder Andres Iniesta, per Sky Sports' Mike Patterson.

Here's the schedule and streaming information:

Date: Saturday, Apr. 2

Time: 7:30 p.m. (BST) / 2:30 p.m. (ET)

Here is the form guide for each team, followed by some predictions:

Barcelona	DWWWWW
Real Madrid	WWWWWL

Luis Suarez Will Score Again

He bagged a brace back in the autumn of 2015, and Suarez is a good bet to find the net one more time against Madrid.

It was the Uruguayan's ruthless efficiency that really stood out in the first meeting, as noted by Sky Sports' Peter Smith: "Suarez was clinical in attack, converting two of his four shots."

Suarez has remained unstoppable in Spain's top flight ever since. The former Liverpool man is second in La Liga's scoring charts with 26 goals, according to WhoScored.com. Team-mates Messi and Neymar are just behind by four and five goals respectively, per the same source.

Madrid simply won't be able to mark them all. Since Suarez only trails Cristiano Ronaldo by two goals in the race for the Pichichi, count on Barca's No. 9 adding to his impressive tally.

Madrid Will Lose the Midfield Battle

Real look likely to lose the midfield battle since they will struggle to match Barcelona's pass-masters for quality in possession.

Ceding the ball is something most teams accept against Barca, but it's doubly damaging for a Madrid squad with so few midfielders capable of defending solidly.

Brazilian anchorman Casemiro is the team's obvious destroyer. But as Guillem Balague detailed for Sky Sports, he's going to have his work cut out for him:

"

How they defend against any such onslaughts will be crucial not least because it's also safe to assume that for at least some of the time Casemiro will probably be gainfully employed covering Marcelo's back as the full-back makes his customary advances into enemy territory.

Similarly, he will also have his work cut out covering for Toni Kroos and Luka Moric, should they decide to venture forward as well.

"

Not being able to stem the tide of Barca's passing will leave Madrid further exposed to the most devastating forward line in the game. It's a double-edged disaster certain to cost head coach Zinedine Zidane's team goals.

Madrid's Dire Away Run Will Continue

Things have generally gone well for Zidane since he succeeded Rafa Benitez. But one area where improvement is still needed is in games away from home.

That improvement has to show up both in results and performances, as WhoScored.com's Ben McAleer described: "The Frenchman may have his side figured out on home turf, where they breeze past the opposition, but away from home Madrid have struggled. Granted, they haven’t succumbed to defeat on the road since the 1-0 defeat to Villarreal back in December, but the performances have been far from satisfactory."

The question is what would qualify as improvement in this fixture? Scraping a draw would represent progress, but it would hardly do anything for Real's ailing title hopes.

Zidane also faces a tricky dilemma about how to play this one. If he wants to endorse the law of pragmatism he doesn't have enough holding midfielders to make it work.

Yet, an expansive approach will simply play into the hands of a Barca squad deadly on the break.

What Zidane needs is a cute, subtle approach where his players press selectively, putting defenders under pressure high up the pitch, while packing numbers between midfield and in front of the back four.

Even if his players carry out the plan, Zidane shouldn't expect much reward, not with Barca in the mood to knock their rivals from Spain's capital city firmly out of this season's title race.

Predicted Score: 3-1.
