All eyes will be on the Santiago Bernabeu on Saturday evening for the first El Clasico of the season, when Real Madrid host fierce rivals Barcelona.
The Catalans sit top of the table on 27 points, having won nine and lost one of their 10 matches, while Los Blancos are just three points behind as they remain unbeaten in the Spanish top-flight.
Real Madrid to win and both teams to score - 11/5
Real are enjoying a solid defence of their La Liga title and they head into Saturday's crucial clash on a three-game winning streak in all competitions, beating Villarreal and Celta Vigo in the league before defeating Borussia Dortmund 5-2 in the UEFA Champions League.
Carlo Ancelotti's side have been exceptional on home turf, winning all six matches at the Santiago Bernabeu to an aggregate score of 19-6.
They last tasted defeat in their own backyard in April 2023 when going down 3-2 to the Yellow Submarine.
It looks like a tough ask for Barca to get a positive result from this trip, but they do arrive in solid form with Wednesday's 4-1 UEFA Champions League victory over Bayern Munich extending their winning run to four matches.
Hansi Flick's side have impressed in attack during this period, scoring 17 times, and they are comfortably ahead in the goals scored charts in La Liga this season with 33 notched already.
The Catalans should be able to get on the scoresheet, something they have achieved in their last four trips to the Bernabeu, but it could end up being a losing cause.
Madrid have won the last four meetings against Barca, with both teams scoring in three of those, and Los Blancos' superb home form should see them pick up a vital three points.
Vinicius Jr anytime goalscorer - 5/4
There is no shortage of attacking options for both teams to choose from, but one player who stands out for Madrid is Vinicius Jr, who bagged a hat-trick in the midweek win over Dortmund.
The Brazil international has five goals in his last three appearances in all competitions and he has been a constant thorn in Barcelona's side over the years.
Vinicius Jr has netted seven times in 17 appearances against the Catalans - he has only scored more goals in his career against Valencia (8) - and he can lead the charge for Madrid on Saturday.
Luka Modric to be booked - 10/3
El Clasico can often turn into a fiery affair and that should be no different when these two clash at the Bernabeu, with plenty of tackles expected to be flying in.
Croatia international Luka Modric remains an integral part of Madrid's midfield, despite being 39 years old, but those ageing legs could get him in trouble on Saturday.
Modric has been shown five yellows this season, three in La Liga and two in the UEFA Champions League, and he may end up in the book again.
