Game Preview
Real shows signs of inconsistency during matches, though they always win in the end. That was the pattern against Dortmund, whom they massacred in the second half. Yet, in the first, we saw the Germans pulling away to a two-goal lead.
The second 45 minutes were about Real, who flipped the score to win 5-2. UEFA Champions League winners have three wins in a row overall and seven straight at their Santiago Bernabeu. So all in all, Bellingham, Vinicius and the boys are in great shape.
Barcelona outplayed Bayern Munich in all the possible aspects of the game this Wednesday night. A 4-1 win could have been even higher, and we can now say that Hansi Flick and Robert Lewandowski redeemed for an 8-2 loss they inflicted on Barca back in the days when they led Bayern.
Blaugrana enters this event with four consecutive triumphs. During this streak, they’ve netted 17 goals, allowing just two. Only one of the last ten games Flick’s unit played didn’t end with three goals. Furthermore, seven saw over 3.5 hits.
Real Madrid vs. Barcelona Head-to-Head
There have been 257 El Clasico matches so far. Real has 105 wins, Barcelona 100, and 52 ended without winners. There was one this summer, a friendly, in which Barcelona won 2-1.
Real Madrid vs. Barcelona Prediction
The hosts’ defense is shaky, while their offense looks terrifying. We can say the same for Barca, but we need to add that Flick’s crew has looked more confident so far. Due to the incredible offensive potential on both sides, our suggestion here would be to take both teams to score over 2.5 goals.
