The most recent meeting between these two fiercest of rivals came back in October when Real recorded a memorable 3-1 win at Camp Nou, making it three consecutive league Clasicos without a win for Barcelona – their longest barren streak in this fixture since 2013.

This match generally promises entertainment and Saturday’s fixture should live up to expectations, with Madrid scoring in 24 of their last 25 games and Barca netting 27 of their previous 28.

Furthermore, neither side have been keeping clean sheets with any real regularity, with the Catalans conceding in 11 of their last 16 competitive fixtures and Los Blancos managing just one shutout in their last seven games.
