Real Madrid have struggled in LaLiga home matches recently, managing just four wins from their last 18 attempts and suffering several defeats in their previous 10 games.
In contrast, Barcelona have had far better results on the road, securing eight victories in their last 14 away fixtures at this level.
The last time these two teams met in LaLiga, Real Madrid dominated with a 5-0 victory over Barcelona, continuing a trend of high-scoring matches.
In fact, five of their previous six encounters in the league have featured more than 2.5 goals. This pattern is also evident in four of Barcelona’s last six matches in the competition, so another goal-filled match is expected.
Real Madrid have consistently found the back of the net in their last 12 LaLiga home games. Barcelona, on the other hand, have seen both teams score in each of their last five away matches, making it likely that both sides will be on the scoresheet again in this matchup.
Prediction
Barcelona have been in excellent form on their travels, winning eight consecutive away games in LaLiga. Meanwhile, Real Madrid have struggled at home, losing four straight matches and conceding 12 goals in the process.
Prediction: Real Madrid 1 : 2 Barcelona
