On Sunday, Real Madrid and Barcelona will face battle in another El Clasico at the Santiago Bernabeu in La Liga.
With five victories and a tie in their past six league games, the two teams are the most in-form sides in Spain's top division. Madrid won 3-0 at Mallorca in their previous match, increasing their ten-point advantage over Sevilla at the top of the standings.
Barcelona, meanwhile, defeated Osasuna 4-0 at the Camp Nou to climb to third place in the table. They are 15 points behind Los Blancos, but they have a game in hand and are hoping to stage a last-gasp title bid.
Barcelona against Real Madrid Key Numbers and Head-to-Head
Barcelona against Real Madrid Prediction
The hosts are unbeaten at home in La Liga this season, having only dropped points four times. At home, they've averaged 2.3 goals per game. They should be able to find their way back to the back of the net based on their current form.
Barcelona has also recently found their scoring touch, scoring four goals in four of their previous six league games. They are in considerably better shape now than they were in January when they met Real Madrid in the Spanish Supercopa. The Blaugrana will be hoping to end a six-game losing streak versus Madrid. Because Karim Benzema's participation in the game is uncertain, Madrid will have to rely on Vinicius Junior's goal-scoring ability. Despite the fact that the game is predicted to be close, the hosts should have the upper hand and pull out a small victory.
