Teams Status

Barcelona

Before overcoming Valencia at home, Barcelona had lost two games in a row in La Liga and the Champions League, to Atletico Madrid and SL Benfica, respectively.

They are currently in seventh place in La Liga with 15 points from eight games, after four victories, one loss, and three draws. They hold the best home record in the league, with four wins and a draw. They’ve scored an average of 1.75 goals per game while allowing only one goal per game. Memphis Depay, who has three goals to his name, is the team’s highest goal scorer. With two goals each, Martin Brathwaite, Ansu Fati, and Sergi Roberto have all contributed. Ronald Araujo, Pedri, Martin Brathwaite, and Moussa Wague are the four injured players for Barcelona.

Real Madrid

Real Madrid has dropped as many as five points in the last two matches including a draw against Villarreal and a shocking loss to Espanyol in La Liga. But they are coming into this fixture with a thrashing 5-0 win over Shakhtar Donetsk in the Champions League. They are currently in the second position of La Liga with 17 points from eight matches, including five wins, two draws, and one loss. They have a pretty good away record as they have accumulated ten points from five matches that they have played on the road.

Tipster’s Angle

The odds suggest that this could be an even contest but the way Real Madrid has played this season, they have a better chance of winning this match. Even they have done well against Barcelona in the past few seasons. Also, a high-scoring thriller is anticipated as well.

Tip: Real Madrid Draw No Bet @ 1.80

Barcelona has not won a single match in the last four head-to-head meetings, while Real Madrid has won three and one of those matches has resulted in a draw. In their last nine games across all competitions, Barcelona has won three games, drawn three games, and lost three games. Real Madrid, on the other hand, has won six matches, drawn two matches, and lost one match in their last nine games in all competitions. Real Madrid has won four of its past five away games, while Barcelona has only won three of its last five home games. So, backing Real Madrid to win with a draw no bet at 1.80odds available at the Betway sportsbook could be a good bet.

Tip: Total Goals Over 2.5 @ 1.61

In the last three head-to-head matches, a total of nine goals were scored at an average of 3 goals per match. Also, over 2.5 goals were scored in all of those matches. Over 2.5 goals have been scored in five of Barcelona’s last nine matches in all competitions. In addition, over 2.5 goals have been scored in four of Barcelona’s last five home matches. In the last nine matches that Real Madrid had played across all competitions, over 2.5 goals were scored in six of those matches. Also, over 2.5 goals were scored in three of the last five matches that Real Madrid has played on the road. So, it is very likely that this match could also feature over 2.5 goals at 1.61 odds available at the Betway sportsbook.

Conclusion

Barcelona are much more desperate than Real Madrid for the three points so as not to drift away from the leaders. A win for Real Madrid can take them level with the current leaders Real Sociedad. Despite that hiccup in the last match, Real Madrid are expected to bounce back.
