Barcelona vs Real Madrid Prediction

The time has come for the first El Clasico of the season as Barcelona host La Liga leaders Real Madrid in a mouth-watering derby on Saturday afternoon at Estadi Olimpic Lluis Companys.

With only one point separating the two Spanish heavyweights at the top of the standings, there’s more than bragging rights at stake in one of the biggest matches on the planet.

Barcelona will complete a three- game span at home, following victories over Athletic Bilbao and Shakhtar Donetsk within the last seven days.

New teenager marked his debut with a winning goal last weekend as Marc Guiu needed no more than one minute on the pitch to bag the decisive goal in the home clash against Athletic Bilbao.

Barcelona are the only unbeaten team in the league with seven wins and three draws so far in the season.

They are yet to slip-up at home this term, having claimed seven wins on the spin across competitions in Barcelona, including a 4-2 success against Tottenham Hotspur in the Joan Gamper Trophy.

Real Madrid, on the other side, drew their first game of the season last weekend, failing to dispatch Sevilla in a nervous affair at Estadio Ramon Sanchez Pizjuan.

Los Blancos still hold the very top of the standings with eight wins in ten games and they’ve kept a perfect record in the UEFA Champions League thanks to a 1-2 road victory over Sporting Braga on Tuesday night.

Jude Bellingham is the league’s top scorer with eight goals in ten appearances and he was also on the scoresheet in all three Champions League outings. Can the phenomenal English midfielder find the back of the net against his team’s bitter rivals on Saturday?

Latest Meetings

Barcelona stormed past Real Madrid in a preseason friendly in late-July this year (3-0).

However, Los Blancos celebrated a demolishing 4-0 victory in the previous road clash against Blaugrana, eliminating the fierce enemies from Copa del Rey in the last season’s semifinal.

Barcelona have four wins in the last five encounters with Los Blancos.

The Verdict

Barcelona are impeccable in front of the home crowd this season and we can hardly ignore the 2.37 odds offered for their victory on Saturday.

We will alternatively back the Over 2.5 goals FT & Both Teams To Score pick at the 1.80 odds knowing how efficient both teams have been so far in the season.
