Both on Target in Catalan Clash

Well, Leeds United might just be the real deal. They look better by the week, and their resilience cost Liverpool two points and us a winning start to 2026. Nontheless, we march on as we are backing both to strike in the Catalan Derby later this afternoon.

With 51 goals this season, Barcelona have been pretty devastating in the final third and sit as the top scorers in La Liga - and a whopping 15 goals ahead of the second place (Real Madrid, 36). However, the caveat of such humiliating scoring power is that the open, free-flowing tactics used by Hansi Flick leave his side somewhat vulnerable on the break, with Barcelona far from defensively perfect.

And though they sit as top goalscorers in the league, Barcelona have also shipped more goals than any other top seven side in all of La Liga's standings with 20 from 18. They managed a clean sheet against Villareal before the break, but they still had plenty of top chances to darken their door with 14 shots and three big chances missed worth 1.66 of xG, even with a man off in just 39 minutes. Barcelona were lucky not to concede then, but we don't think their clean sheet luck will be today on the road to a local rival with 13 goals from nine at home this term.
