Real Madrid is three points behind their opponent and has a chance to equalize with them with a victory. They have achieved this in their last four matches against each other. During the week, Real turned around a 0:2 deficit against Dortmund to win 5:2, once again showing what they are capable of. They continue to be flawless at home this season, winning all their home matches. Real has not suffered a loss in La Liga for over a year, with their last home loss being in April of last year. Goalkeeper Thibaut Courtois will miss the upcoming derby, which is also expected to be missed by Rodrigo.
Barcelona also showed strength during the week, defeating their former nightmare Bayern Munich 4:1. Overall, Hansi Flick and company have displayed strength throughout the current season and are rightfully at the top of the standings. Barcelona is also scoring goals consistently, with 33 goals in the last 10 rounds, averaging at least three goals per match.
Prediction: both teams to score, X2 double chanceAfter four consecutive losses in "El Clasico," Barcelona now looks capable of at least not losing. Real Madrid has not suffered a defeat in La Liga recently, but it is Barcelona who seems able to change that. Goals are always a likely option and something to expect when these two teams meet.
