Barcelona’s Dominance This Season

Despite the game being weeks away, Barcelona’s recent performances against Real Madrid make them slight favorites. Earlier this season, the Blaugrana delivered a stunning 4-0 victory at the Santiago Bernabeu in LaLiga and followed it up with another commanding win in the Spanish Super Cup.

Although Real Madrid have shown significant improvement since those defeats, overcoming Barcelona remains a daunting challenge. With momentum on their side, Hansi Flick’s men will be eager to secure another piece of silverware.

Barcelona vs Real Madrid Prediction

Given their dominant performances in previous meetings, Barcelona are expected to have the edge in this clash. A 3-1 victory for the Catalan club appears to be the most likely outcome.
