Both teams have scored in five of Barcelona’s last six games
There have been three or more goals with both teams scoring in three or Real’s last four matches
The last three meetings between these two have seen both teams score and 3+ goals
Barca beginning to click under Xavi

Barcelona had a sticky start to life under Xavi, but they enter this clash unbeaten in six competitive fixtures, registering three wins and three draws.

The new boss had plenty of success in El Clasico during his playing days, but this is an altogether different kettle of fish and their defensive issues raise cause for concern.

Across those six games, Barca have kept only one clean sheet, while both teams have scored in six of their last seven matches, as well as a friendly against Boca Juniors in mid-December.

Real back in form

After their shock draw with Cadiz and even more surprising defeat to Getafe, Real Madrid have bounced back with wins over Alcoyano in the Copa del Rey and Valencia in La Liga.

There are still some concerns over their defence, who have conceded in four successive games, with three of those matches containing three or more strikes.

As always, El Clasico will be a fascinating encounter, but Real certainly have the wood over Barca in the recent renewals of this old rivalry, coming into the clash unbeaten in five matches against the old enemy.

I think there will be plenty of goals in this one. Both teams are strong going forward, so I predict both teams to score and three or more goals in the match, but think the visitors could come out on top, so select 2-1 to Real as a correct score.

在巴萨最近的六场比赛中，两队都有五次进球
在过去的四场比赛中，两队都有三次或三次以上的进球
这两支球队最近的三次交锋都取得了3个以上的进球
巴萨开始点击哈维

在哈维的带领下，巴萨开局不顺，但他们在这场比赛中保持了六场比赛的不败战绩，三胜三平。

这位新主帅在他的执教生涯中曾在埃尔克西科取得过很多成功，但这是完全不同的一件事，他们的防守问题引起了人们的关注。

在这六场比赛中，巴萨只有一场比赛没有失球，而两队在过去的七场比赛中都有六场进球，以及12月中旬对阵博卡青年队的一场友谊赛。

真实的回归

在令人震惊的战平加的斯和更令人惊讶的败给赫塔菲之后，皇家马德里已经反弹，在国王杯和西甲分别战胜了阿尔科亚诺和瓦伦西亚。

仍有一些担忧他们的国防,承认在四届奥运会,其中三个匹配包含三个或更多的罢工。

和往常一样，这场比赛将会是一场精彩的比赛，但是皇马在最近的这场宿敌较量中确实对巴萨有信心，他们在对阵老对手的五场比赛中都保持不败。

我认为这次比赛会有很多进球。两支球队都有很强的前进力，所以我预测两支球队在比赛中都能进3个或更多的球，但我认为客队可能会领先，所以选择2-1对皇马作为正确的得分。
