Blaugrana have been Barcelona’s best in 2026/2027
With 27 points from nine games, Hans-Dieter Flick's Barcelona are top of the LaLiga 2026/2027 table and have been nothing short of exceptional since the German took charge in May 2024. His high-line, high-press system has kept Barcelona firmly on the front foot and they've reeled off five successive victories across all competitions, including a 4-1 away win against Galatasaray, while they're also fresh from a 5-2 LaLiga victory over Real Betis.
Raphinha has spearheaded Barcelona's attack with 12 LaLiga goals in seven games, making him their most lethal finisher in the attacking third, but Lamine Yamal's eight assists in their last five matches has been a masterclass in unlocking defenses.
Los Merengues look dangerous
Current form
Real Madrid have 18 points from eight LaLiga matches and they've picked up form of late with a two-game winning streak. Jose Mourinho's side have been in mixed but dangerous form since the Special One took over in July 2026, building a more pragmatic structure around the same old stars and making them dangerous on transition.
Recent results
Madrid's 1-0 win over Villarreal was somewhat fortuitous, while they were also victorious in a 4-3 thriller at AS Roma in midweek. A 2-1 defeat to Atletico Madrid away from home has been the only slip-up in that run, which has seen Kylian Mbappe hit a rich vein of form with seven LaLiga goals in as many games.
El Clasico should go the home side’s way
Real Madrid have failed to win on their last visit to Barcelona, but Sunday's El Clásico is anyone's game.
While Barcelona have a better chance of winning, Mourinho's team should be able to keep this close and keep the odds in the game. Barcelona's typical possession-based style will be a good fit against Madrid's compact, counter-attacking approach and we could be in for a tactical chess match.
- Barcelona are the clear favorites here at 1.48, and it's no surprise given Los Merengues are priced up at 4.9 with the draw at 5.25.
- As a result, we're going for under 2.5 goals in this El Clásico, with over 2.5 at 1.22 and both teams to score at 1.33 also available.
