Nou Camp – Barcelona

Santiago Bernabeu – Madrid
At the Santiago Bernabeu, There have been 86 Clasico league games played. The hosts, Real Madrid, have won 52, drawn 15 and lost 19 of those 86 meetings.
Analysis
Judging from this head to head record at both venues, Barcelona are quite disadvantaged heading into Saturday’s Clasico. It is, however, a tough race for both sides considering that Zidane’s men have managed 20 wins at the Nou Camp, while Los Blaugrana have managed 19 at Real Madrid’s home ground.
And when you consider the fact that Los Blancos have been strong at home in El Clasico compared to their rivals (52 home wins vs 49), and even strong away from home (20 wins at Nou Camp compared to Barca’s 19 at Bernabeu), they seem to have an edge over their opponents in this tie. Another factor that proves the dominance of Madrid over Barcelona at the Nou Camp is the fact that 10 of Ronaldo’s 16 Clasico goals have been scored at the Camp Nou.
