Real Madrid will be more determined than ever to beat Barcelona after losing all four El Clasico contests last season and they do look the better team at present.
The Catalan giants came badly unstuck on their last LaLiga road trip to Sevilla and just seem a little disjointed overall.
Xabi Alonso has secured six straight home wins since taking charge of the Whites and 20/23 for that sequence to be extended is our initial Real Madrid vs Barcelona prediction.

Head-to-Head Record
Real Madrid vs Barcelona head-to-head record
As already mentioned, last season was tough to take for Real fans, who first saw their team humbled 4-0 by Barca at the Bernabeu.
The Blaugrana then prevailed 5-2 in the Spanish Super Cup and 3-2 after extra time in the Copa Del Rey final on neutral territory, before May’s 4-3 success at the Olympic Stadium, despite a Kylian Mbappe hat-trick.
However, things can change quickly in this rivalry, as Real had come out on top in the previous four encounters!
Remaining disciplined will be crucial, though, as there have been four red cards shown in the last six meetings.
Aurelien Tchouameni has been booked in three straight El Clásico appearances and his general record in that department this term is not great, receiving four yellow cards in eight club outings since being dismissed for France in early September.
Looking at the Real Madrid vs Barcelona odds, the midfielder is 10/3 to be cautioned again here .
Real Madrid Form Guide
Real Madrid form guide
The Whites have only had one blip during the current campaign, when hammered 5-2 by city rivals Atletico, but otherwise it has been all positive with 11 wins.
Alonso has sought to step up the work rate and Jude Bellingham’s first goal of the season was enough to see off Juventus in the Champions League on Wednesday.
There is no doubt that Mbappe is the main attacking threat, though, and that was only the second time this term he failed to hit the target for club or country, netting 18 goals in the other 13 appearances.
Mbappe relished the El Clasico challenge during his first campaign in Spain, striking in the last three encounters and five times in total.
He is 10/3 to break the deadlock and a tempting 7/2 to score at least twice for the fifth time this season.
Barcelona Form Guide
Barcelona form guide
Barca turned in a flamboyant showing as they steamrollered Olympiacos 6-1 in the Champions League on Tuesday.
Fermin Lopez scored a hat-trick, while the rejuvenated Marcus Rashford claimed two as well as earning a penalty which Lamine Yamal converted.
However, that came after a poor run of form which saw them lose 2-1 at home to PSG, suffer a 4-1 drubbing at Sevilla and only just scramble past Girona 2-1 in front of their own fans via a stoppage-time decider.
Much has been made about how Barcelona’s forward players are not tracking back and Real are well placed to exploit any gaps that creates, while head coach Hansi Flick serving a one-match touchline ban will not help the visitors.
The last six El Clasicos have each produced at least four goals, so a BOYLE Sports price boost of 11/4 for a home win and over 3.5 total goals is added to our Real Madrid vs Barcelona betting tips.
