Barcelona v Real Madrid Betting Tips [11 May 2025]

Barcelona and Real Madrid will renew their rivalry this Sunday when they face off in La Liga. Four points separate the two sides at the top of the league standings, with Barcelona leading, having garnered 79. Below is our prediction for the match.

Barcelona come into this match as clear favorites, and a win here will push them to within three points of the title. They are coming from a painful 4-3 loss to Inter Milan and look to rise again.

This season alone, these two rivals have clashed three times, and Barcelona won all, scoring a total of 12 goals. For a side that has netted 91 times in the league, Barca will feel capable of another huge win.

Real Madrid have already lost two finals and a league game against Barcelona this season. They will hope to finally get one on their hosts.

However, a combination of injuries, being on the road, and a weak run of form may work against the visitors. Real had another shaky moment in the 3-2 win over Celta Vigo last time out.

Los Blancos almost dropped two points in a game that they led 3-0. It won’t be easy to escape with such defensive weaknesses against Barcelona. Worse still, Real Madrid have at least five defenders injured.

Despite their riches and investment in the playing unit, Real Madrid come into this game as underdogs. In recent months they’ve really struggled to win matches, and injuries haven't been helpful either. Los Blancos are short on confidence heading into this match.

Barcelona, on the other hand, come here in a better psychological standing, having beaten Real Madrid in three straight games. The hosts don’t have a lengthy injury list and have been scoring a lot. Our prediction for Barcelona v Real Madrid is for Barcelona to win and over 2.5 goals.
