With 12 points separating title holders Barcelona and struggling side Real Madrid after 26 matches played, El Clasico could decide the fate of Los Blancos in La Liga this season. The Catalans are currently the favorites following their 34-match unbeaten run; Luis Enrique’s men have grabbed a maximum 27 points in their last 9 league encounters.
On the contrary, Real Madrid have failed to register wins in their last two Liga matches despite averaging 3 goals per match under new manager Zinedine Zidane. Vengeance at the Camp Nou will be a great way for the French manager to erase Madrid fans’ memories of their club’s shocking 4-0 home defeat to Barca back in November 2015.

El Clasico could eventually turn out to be an exceptional duel between Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo—one that the football world will keep talking about for years. It could otherwise end up being a fierce personal battle in the Pichichi race between Suarez, Ronaldo, Benzema and Neymar. Whatever the outcome however, the action will be heated up by a quest for continuous domination on one side and revenge on the other.
