class=”article_teaser__2t5do”>Carlo Ancelotti's side have been in fine scoring form this season and should continue that run against their biggest rivals on Sunday in El Clasico
Barcelona welcome Real Madrid to Camp Nou for the first Clasico of the Liga season on Sunday afternoon in one of the biggest club fixtures in world football.
The rivalry between Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo may be a thing of the past, but the two clubs remain bitter enemies and with neither at their best so far this season, there is plenty riding on this weekend’s meeting.
Barcelona vs Real Madrid latest odds
The Blaugrana are winless in their last four Clasicos, suffering three consecutive defeats, a fact which might go some way to explaining why the hosts are outsiders for Sunday’s clash.
A victory for Barca is priced at 7/4 (2.75) with bet365 while Madrid are offered at 29/20 (2.45) and the draw can be backed at 13/5 (3.60).
Barcelona vs Real Madrid first goalscorer
Karim Benzema has been in extraordinary scoring form with his nine La Liga strikes this term comfortably making him the division’s most prolific marksman.
The Frenchman is available at 15/4 (4.75) to break the deadlock ahead of Memphis Depay and Sergio Aguero, who are both priced at 5/1 (6.00).
Vinicius Junior, meanwhile, is also enjoying an excellent goalscoring start to the season, having already netted more than in the entirety of the previous campaign. The Brazilian is available at 13/2 (7.50) to score first at the Camp Nou.
Barcelona vs Real Madrid preview
Barca’s problems this term have stemmed from a defensive fragility which has seen sides create chances against them with relative ease.
Bottom club Getafe, who are still yet to win a match in La Liga, came to Camp Nou at the end of August and managed to have more shots than Barcelona in a game in which the Catalans were fortunate to win 2-1.
Ronald Koeman’s men have only kept two clean sheets in eight league games and a Madrid team with plenty of firepower will feel they have more than enough to cause the Blaugrana plenty of problems.
Barca are missing Ronald Araujo, who has arguably been their best centre-back this season, and Los Blancos are likely to try to take the game to Barca, sensing that their rivals are there to be beaten.
Barcelona vs Real Madrid tips and predictions
The visitors are the top-scoring side in La Liga and are priced at evens (2.00) to net over 1.5 goals – a bet which has paid out in each of the last three meetings.
