Prediction, Odds & Betting Tips for Barcelona vs. Real Madrid at La Liga

El Clasico is one of the biggest, if not the biggest, derby in the world. This one will greatly impact the entire season, as it might show a lot in terms of the current strength of both units. For the moment, the difference in the standings is minimal, as Real leads the league with 25 points, one more than Barcelona.

Barcelona vs. Real Madrid Preview

Barcelona

Blaugrana didn’t lose since the year began; that would be 12 games. The overall record for Xavi’s boys is ten wins and two draws, and they really look confident and powerful as the candidates for both the La Liga and the Champions League trophies.

The most recent win was over Athletic Bilbao, whom they defeated via minimal result on Sunday afternoon. It was the sixth consecutive triumph for them at home, and in only one of those meetings have they allowed a goal.

Barcelona’s goal difference at Estadio Olimpico is 17-3. We also have to mention that they play there because of Camp Nou’s reconstruction and that it would stay like that until the end of the year.

Real Madrid

Los Blancos’ only failure this year was against Atletico in the Madrid Derby, where they suffered a 3-1 defeat. Other than that, we’ve seen Real playing good football. In 12 matches this season, Carlo Ancelotti’s crew has ten victories, one loss, and one tie.

That draw was against Sevilla on Saturday night, 1-1. They couldn’t beat Rojoblancos, even though we’ve seen Real playing better than the hosts. Still, that won’t leave any mark on their mentality and morale.

Of seven road trips, Real managed to record clean sheets on three occasions. Four of those meetings had three or more goals, and the same number ended with both teams netting.

Barcelona vs. Real Madrid Head to Head Games

Barcelona blew away Real on the US tour this summer, beating them in a friendly event, 3-0. Last year, we saw these two units meeting five times, and the team from Barca had more success, winning in three encounters, while Real triumphed twice.

Four of those meetings were with three or more goals.

Barcelona vs. Real Madrid Predictions

Xavi and Barca play a bit more aggressive football than last year, and it’s no surprise to see more goals in Barcelona’s appearances than in the previous campaign. Real’s football is flamboyant, with plenty of pressure and direct attacks, so we really believe in a scoring affair on Saturday.

Our verdict: Over 2.5 goals
