Real Madrid have all to do from now till the end of the season if they are to chase the Catalan Giants to the title. Crucially, Madrid can close the gap on the leaders for at least 24hours. For me, I do believe Barcelona will end up dropping points at the Sanchez Pijuan Stadium after their Champions League exertion on Wednesday night. After a string of disappoint results, Madrid have notched up ten goals in their last two league matches and against a faltering Hercules side, I expect them to continue their hot streak going.

Hercules have gone off the boil since the resumption of the league in January. they have only taken one win from their last eight league games, and mroe worryingly, they have only scored once in their last 7 on the road. As usual, the visitors will not stand any form of chance when they visit the Bernabeau.
