Recent home/away form

Barcelona have been in impressive form at home, with their last six matches yielding four wins and two draws. The Catalan giants have been particularly prolific in front of goal, netting 16 times in these fixtures for an average of 2.67 goals per game. Notably, they enjoyed a four-match winning streak at the Camp Nou before their most recent outing, a thrilling 3-3 draw against Inter Milan in the Champions League.

Their 4-0 victory over Borussia Dortmund stands out as a particularly dominant performance, while the 4-3 win against RC Celta and the 3-2 triumph over Real Madrid in the Copa del Rey highlight their ability to edge out opponents in goal-fests. Despite their attacking prowess, Barcelona have kept just two clean sheets in their last six home matches, suggesting there might be room for improvement defensively.

Real Madrid

The Spanish giants have struggled to find the back of the net consistently, scoring only six goals in these fixtures, averaging just one goal per game.

Despite this, Real Madrid have managed to keep two clean sheets in their last six away matches.

However, their last away match, a 3-2 loss to Barcelona in the Copa del Rey, bucked this trend with a high-scoring encounter.
