Real Madrid are currently at the top of the La Liga standings and have been in excellent form so far this season. Los Blancos edged Juventus to a narrow 1-0 margin in the UEFA Champions League in their previous game and will look to achieve a similar result this weekend.
Barcelona, on the other hand, are in second place in the league table at the moment and have been inconsistent over the past year. The Catalan outfit thrashed Olympiacos by a comprehensive 6-1 margin in the UEFA Champions League this week and will be confident ahead of this fixture.
