FC Barcelona vs Real Madrid: Predictions and Betting Tips

Key Stats:

• Two wins, one draw, and two defeats for Barcelona in their last five games
• Three consecutive matches conceding at least one goal for Barcelona
• Three consecutive matches without winning for Real Madrid, comprising one draw and two defeats
• Real Madrid have conceded six goals in their last five games

FC Barcelona

After winning 3-1 in their last La Liga match against Valencia, and showing signs of having improved slightly defensively, FC Barcelona go into this match knowing that the playing field is less even than in previous years, and that they are the underdogs.

Barcelona are currently the best home team in La Liga, with four wins and a draw in five games. Despite this being a rather weak season for the Cules, they can be relied on to secure the points at home.

Barcelona have now gone four games in a row without beating Real Madrid, and the last three games have ended in defeat.

Real Madrid

Things are not going very well for Madrid either, having gone three games without a win, with two defeats and a draw. All of these have come against opponents that were not very difficult in theory.

Real Madrid are the second best away team in La Liga, with three wins, one draw, and one defeat. Seven of the ten goals that Madrid have conceded have come when they were away team.

Undoubtedly, Real Madrid’s chances of winning this match lie in the head and feet of Karim Benzema, probably one of the best players in the world right now.

FC Barcelona vs Real Madrid Predictions

For the first time in a long time, a match between FC Barcelona and Real Madrid that does not feature Leo Messi has arrived. This undoubtedly hurts Barça enormously, as they are still struggling to find their game without him, but Madrid are having their own struggles too. Nevertheless, Madrid are far slicker as a team at the moment, and they have Karim Benzema who we think will be the differential factor in this match. That is why we think Real Madrid will take the three points.
