Notably, Barcelona has shown a consistent ability to find the back of the net, scoring an average of 2.6 goals per game in their last five outings.

Their defense has been particularly noteworthy, achieving three clean sheets in their last five matches. However, their offensive output has been relatively modest, with an average of 1.2 goals per game.

Final Prediction

Barcelona's recent form and consistent goal-scoring ability provide them with a significant edge in this encounter. The expected goals metrics further highlight their superiority in both creating and preventing chances. A key factor to watch will be how Real Madrid's defense handles Barcelona's attacking dynamism, as this could well determine the outcome of this highly anticipated match.
