It's unlikely to view the four matches separately.
The two teams must either make a comprehensive plan for all four matches or adjust their strategies as the games progress.
However, the specific preparations and match progress are unpredictable, as this is not just one match, but a series of high-stakes derbies within a short period.
To what extent do both coaches believe that the La Liga title contention is already settled? Will their ideas in this regard affect Saturday's match?
Will the tactical deployment for Saturday's league match be influenced by the King's Cup final four days later?
In the case of consecutive encounters, how can the two teams detach from past and future, focusing on the present?
They know each other very well. In such circumstances, will there still be any surprise tactics appearing? Who has more room for change? Will changes bring benefits? Will Saturday's league match be a rehearsal for the subsequent three matches?
