Odds correct at time of writing, subject to change.

Both teams to score and three or more total goals

The Clásico takes place at Spotify Camp Nou this Sunday, with a goal-fest expected between the two highest-scoring teams in the league.

Both teams scored in seven of Barça's last eight competitive matches, and the same was true in seven of Real Madrid's last eight.

In addition, both teams scored in eight of the last 10 competitive meetings between the sides. Eight of Barça's nine league matches have also featured three or more total goals, as have seven of Madrid's nine.

Tip: Both teams to score and over 2.5 goals - 4/11 @ bet365

Bet Explanation: This bet wins if both teams score and there are three or more goals in the match

Mbappe to score or assist

Kylian Mbappe has a good record against Barça. The Frenchman, who scored against Sevilla last weekend, has netted 12 goals in nine competitive meetings with Barcelona, representing both PSG and Madrid.

We therefore expect him to play a key role for a Real side in the suspended Vinicius Junior will be missing. Barcelona's defensive structure also suits the qualities of Madrid's French forward.

Tip: Kylian Mbappe to score or assist - 8/15 @ bet 365

Bet Explanation: This bet wins if Mbappe scores a goal or provides an assist

Between three and six total goals

Seven of Barça's last nine matches have featured between three and six goals in total, while the same has happened in six of Madrid's last eight.

Ten of the last 13 competitive meetings between the two teams have also produced figures in that range. As the two highest-scoring teams in the league, we expect the total number of goals in the match to fall within those figures. It should certainly be a spectacle.

Tip: Between three and six total goals - 4/9 @ bet365

Bet Explanation: This bet wins if the match ends with three, four, five or six goals in total
