Analysis
The hosts are yet to win a match at their home ground since their promotion to the top tier. They have lost at home against relatively weaker opponents such as Sporting Gijon and Granada.
On the other hand, Luis Enrique’s men are under pressure to bounce back to winning ways having secured three consecutive draws in the league. Los Blaugrana are well aware of the fact that a draw or defeat will give Los Blancos the upper hand in their hunt for the league title, and this is what they will be trying to avoid. Based on these factors, the La Liga defending champions should take all the three points here.
