Real Madrid take on the visitors Barcelona in the round 9 match of Spanish LaLiga. The match will be played on Sunday, October 16th at Estadio Santiago Bernabeu (Madrid).
Real Madrid cruise through the season almost without misfires. And not only in the domestic arena. It all started with the UEFA Super Cup, where they beat Eintracht Frankfurt. And now, in parallel with performances in the LaLiga, they are successfully playing in the Champions League. There, in fact, everything is decided, and they can prepare for the playoffs. The only misfire was a clash with Osasuna. There, playing at home and opening the score, Los Blancos limited themselves to a draw: Karim Benzema managed to miss a penalty. Courtois also had problems, which made it possible to involve Lunin. And with "Getafe" the Ukrainian finally had a clean sheet. After these 1-0, Galacticos have 22 points after 8 rounds. However, Barcelona has the same statistics, and it is already clear that the fight for the title will be reduced to a head-to-head confrontation between these giants.

Barcelona frankly failed last season. Bluagrana could not take a single trophy, despite the fact that most of the season they were already led by Xavi. Those failures were attributed to the fact that the ex-midfielder returned in a new role already during the draw, in a crisis. Moreover, the financial situation was and remains difficult. There are big problems in Champions League this season as Barce lost not only to Bayern, but also to Inter! However, in the domestic arena, the statistics are really impressive. Yes, the new pace started with a goalless draw against Mallorca. But after that, all 7 matches were won. Moreover, only Real Sociedad, also back in August, scored against Ter Stegen. Of course, Robert Lewandowski should also be noted. The Polak in the new place already has 9 goals with 2 assists in La Liga - with 20 goals in total. However, in the last round, he "remained silent", and only thanks to Pedri, in a very difficult game, the unexpectedly stubborn Celta was put on their back.
This is El Clasico and Real Madrid had 6-match unbeaten streak. But in March, Barcelona had perhaps their best match under Xavi. They won 4-0 in Madrid and Aubameyang, who is already at Chelsea, scored a brace. Bookmakers believe that Real Madrid can take revenge. We still recommend to play it safe by placing a bet on the victory of the hosts with a handicap of "0".
Prediction for the match: Real Madrid to win with 0.0 handicap.
