Barcelona will be hoping to confirm the 6th Primera Division title in 8 years, when welcome their old foes to the Camp Nou on Saturday. In the opposite fixture they triumphed in Madrid, 0-4.

Luis Suarez struck twice in that dominant victory in November and with the formidable attacking trio of Messi, Neymar and the Uruguayan, Barca will again take some stopping.

Jeremy Mathieu is injured. The Barcelona defender will miss up to two months after surgery suffered on international duty with France on Tuesday. Adriano has also picked up a knock. The duo have joined absentee Sandro Ramirez.

Real Madrid has the Champions League as their main priority. The gap of 10p. to their rivals looks impossible to cover. Zidane has enjoyed mixed results since taking over from Benitez at the Bernabeu, allowing Barca to pull clear at the top of the table.

A damaging defeat at home to Atletico at the end of February put a severe dent in Real’s hopes that their side could mount a late title tilt, but Zidane insisted that there is still all to play for ahead of El Clasico. He confirmed defender Varane will miss the match due to a calf injury but midfielder Kroos trained well on Friday and is available.

Otherwise, the Los Blancos boss has a full squad to choose from after his internationals returned unscathed, including Cristiano Ronaldo who will form the usual… BBC in the Whites’ attack.

Our bet: Barcelona is 10 points clear from Real Madrid and definitely a better team this season. But how can they underestimate Zidane’s side so much? 5/1 is on offer from bet365 for an away win. Seriously? Is it Real or… Villareal the visitors? No more wondering. We go for the away win here. Clearly!
