Barcelona-Real Madrid: the second round kicks off with the Clásico

© Provided by Real Madrid

Real Madrid get the second round of the Primera Iberdrola underway with a clash against Barcelona at the Johan Cruyff (12:00pm CET). David Aznar's team, who have two games in hand following postponements against Real Sociedad and EDF Logroño, will be hoping for three points in the Clásico to extend a fine run of form. Following the win over Santa Teresa on Tuesday, they haven't conceded a single goal in the last three games.

The madridistas sit second with 34 points and could go top of the table if they beat Barcelona and clinch what would be their twelfth league win, a fifth in a row on the road. Jakobsson, who set up Lorena's goal in the last clash to become the second-highest assist-maker in the competition (7), is one of 20 players in Aznar's squad.
