The rivalry between these teams could lead to one of them topping the league in the event of a win. Follow this clash with our detailed guide.

What has been Real Madrid and Barcelona's form ahead of El Clásico?

Real Madrid will host Barcelona on a 12-game streak without a loss in all competitions. Zidane's men have won ten of those, with their draws against Atlético and Real Sociedad being the only exceptions during that run. The team's last game in La Liga ended in a two-nil win over Eibar last weekend, but their real ego boost came during their midweek game vs Liverpool, where they won with a 3-1 score.

On the other side of the pitch, Barcelona will enter this clash on a nine-game streak without a loss in all competitions, but truthfully, their unbeaten run in La Liga has extended for a whopping 19 games. Out of those, Koeman's team has only drawn three times, with the last one of those coming against Cádiz on February 21. The team's last game ended in a one-nil win over Valladolid thanks to a late effort by Ousmané Dembelé.

What is Real Madrid and Barcelona's position in the ongoing La Liga season?

Real Madrid will make it to this game in third place. Their record this season shows nineteen wins, six draws, and four losses. Real Madrid's footballers have found the back of the net 51 times, while their defense has conceded a pretty decent 23 goals. Karim Benzema is the team's top scorer with eighteen goals in the competition.

Barcelona will enter this clash in second place of the Spanish top-flight. Los Culés' record includes 20 wins, five draws, and four losses. The team's attack is the best in the league with 68 goals, while their defense has conceded 24 times. Lionel Messi is the team's top scorer -and the league's- with 23 goals to his name.
