Sunday afternoon brings us this mouthwatering el clasico clash between Barcelona and Real Madrid when the two fierce rivals meet at the Estadi Olímpic Lluís Companys with just four points separating the two clubs at the top of the Spanish top flight table.
Barcelona will need to dust themselves down and approach this upcoming encounter with a clean canvas after suffering a heartbreaking 4-3 loss on the night in midweek against Inter Milan in the Champions League semi-final, but form and results on the domestic front have remained impressive.
Indeed, Barca bring an excellent 15-match unbeaten run in La Liga into this Sunday’s encounter and having chalked up no fewer than 12 wins within this period, Hans Flick’s side look well placed to gain the upper hand in this vital clash on Sunday.
Barcelona have picked up eight wins within their last nine unbeaten games on home soil at their Estadi Olímpic Lluís Companys.
As for Real Madrid, the visitors bounced back from defeat last time out in La Liga courtesy of a 3-2 home win against Celta Vigo but the Madrid club will need to quickly erase the memory of a previous 3-2 loss away from home to Barcelona in the Copa del Rey when they line up against their rivals on Sunday.
Recent results have certainly been a mixed bag for Carlo Ancelotti’s side as they have picked up four wins but have also succumbed to four defeats as well, along with a draw with Real Sociedad.
However, on the domestic front Real Madrid have collected seven wins within their last eight games overall in La Liga which includes wins on the road at Villarreal, Alaves and Getafe respectively.
The Betting Verdict
Barcelona have held the upper hand in previous exchanges, winning each of the last four meetings.
