Barcelona vs Real Madrid Betting Odds, Tips, Predictions, Preview 19th March 2023

Barcelona welcome Real Madrid to another derby between the long-time rivals this coming Sunday at Spotify Camp Nou. Who gets the chance to mock the other until they met again?

Sitting top of the table, Barcelona have claimed 65 points after 25 rounds, while Real Madrid have amassed 56 points and presently rank as number two in the La Liga.

Clearly Real Madrid need a victory against league leaders Barcelona to reduce the current difference in the standings, but surely the home side want a say in that. In current form their confidence should be high, making them even tougher to beat.

Barcelona only average a modest 1.3 goals per game in their last ten matches in this tournament, in which they scored 13 goals. They also conceded two for an average of 0.2 per game. They kept their opponents from scoring eight times.

Real Madrid are currently decent goalscorers, as they managed a bearable 15 goals in the past ten outings for an average of 1.5 goals a game. Their opponents scored a total of five goals, and while Real Madrid claimed six clean sheets, they conceded an average of 0.5 goals per match.

Barcelona lost to 3-1 Real Madrid in their last encounter. This served as payback for the 4-0 win, which Barcelona dished out the match before that.
