La Liga
Real Madrid is out to defend its top position in the standings, having a two-point lead over its rival. 11 wins out of 12 matches in all competitions this season does not sound bad for the team, although it suffered a heavy defeat of 2-5 against Atletico in its only loss. There were tough matches against Barcelona last season as well. Out of a total of four encounters then, they conceded a whopping 15 goals from their opponent and ended up empty-handed in each of them.
Hansi Flick had found the recipe for that Real Madrid under Carlo Ancelotti. Let's see if there will be one for this one under Xabi Alonso as well. After some slight fluctuations and a heavy loss away to Sevilla, Barca responded with a hard-fought victory over Girona in the last round. However, on Tuesday, they reminded everyone of themselves with a 6-1 win over Olympiacos. Thus, 11 out of Barcelona's 12 matches this season have had over 2.5 goals.
Prediction: over 2.5 goals and both teams to scoreThe most normal thing in this clash is to expect goals. It is no coincidence that the odds for this are quite low. Nevertheless, I directly choose to combine over 2.5 goals with both teams to score in the match and as a neutral spectator, I will hope for another high-scoring encounter between them.
