Tip and bets
For the most recent time Barcelona suffered a defeat in regular time on December, after that they put up a string of impressive performance. Real are also in a wonderful form, they suffered the last defeat at the beginning of the year. Both teams will try to extend the unbeaten run, no one needs to find extra motivation for El Classico. In four latest head-to-head matches both opponents managed to score and we are expecting the same in the upcoming match.
Our prediction - both teams to score
Opponents faced each other on January, in the Spanish Super Cup, back then, teams ended the regular time on level terms. Hosts builded a solid foundation, but a failure can leave the Catalan team without a Top-4 spot, so team needs to at least avoid a defeat. We offer to place a bet on a draw here, both teams are worthy of each other and it will be a positive result for both sides.
