Barcelona – La Liga Form and Betting Odds

Barcelona have made a perfect start to their La Liga title defence, winning all nine of their opening fixtures to sit top of the table with 27 points. Hansi Flick’s side beat Real Betis 5-2 last weekend, although Tuesday’s 4-2 Champions League defeat against Paris Saint-Germain brought an end to their unbeaten start across all competitions.
The Catalan giants now have the chance to make history, with no side ever winning their opening ten matches of a La Liga campaign. Barcelona have matched Real Madrid’s record of nine consecutive victories from the start of the 1968/69 season. Their home form offers further encouragement, with the hosts winning each of their last 23 league fixtures at the Nou Camp.
Barcelona have also enjoyed plenty of recent success against their biggest rivals, winning six of the last seven meetings across all competitions. That includes a 2-0 victory at the Nou Camp last season, while the hosts have not suffered a home defeat in El Clásico since October 2023, punters can back a Barca victory at 8/13 with William Hill.

Real Madrid – La Liga Form and Betting Odds

Real Madrid head into Sunday’s encounter sitting third in La Liga, having collected 21 points from their opening nine fixtures (W7, L2). José Mourinho’s side arrive in excellent form, winning their last four matches across all competitions. Last weekend’s 4-1 victory over Sevilla was followed by another convincing 4-1 success against RB Leipzig in the Champions League on Wednesday.
Goals certainly haven’t been in short supply for Los Blancos recently, with Real Madrid scoring four times in each of their last three competitive fixtures. However, defensive issues remain a concern on their travels, with Madrid yet to keep an away clean sheet in the league this season.
Despite their recent struggles against Barcelona, there is some encouragement for Mourinho ahead of his first El Clásico since 2013. The Portuguese manager avoided defeat in each of his last five meetings with Barcelona during his previous spell at Madrid (W3, D2), Los Blancos can be backed to upset the champions here at 3/1 with William Hill, whilst punters can create their own bet for El Clasico with a 25% Bet Builder Boost with William Hill.
