Barcelona are slightly better in these games with 115 wins while Real Madrid have 101 wins and the remaining 62 matches ended in a draw.
The game becomes important for the title race after leaders Atletico Madrid dropped points in the recent weeks.

Barcelona have 65 points in the second spot and Real Madrid are in third place with 63 points.
