Real Madrid have struggled at home in recent LaLiga matches, managing only four wins from their last 18 games and suffering multiple defeats in their previous ten outings. In contrast, Barcelona have enjoyed a solid run of form on the road, securing eight victories in their last 14 away games at this level.
In their most recent LaLiga encounter, Real Madrid put five goals past Barcelona, making it five out of their last six games where over 2.5 goals were scored. Similarly, four of Barcelona’s last six matches in the league have also seen more than 2.5 goals, so a high-scoring game is expected.
Real Madrid have had no issues finding the back of the net in their home games, scoring in each of their last 12 LaLiga fixtures. Barcelona, on the other hand, have been involved in five consecutive away matches where both teams scored, suggesting we could see a similar scenario in this clash.
Prediction
Barcelona have been in impressive form during their away games, winning their last eight top-flight matches in LaLiga. Meanwhile, Real Madrid have had a tougher time at home, losing four consecutive matches and conceding 12 goals in the process.
Prediction: Real Madrid 1 : 2 Barcelona
