UPDATE December 10th 2011: For El Clasico preview & analysis on December 10th 2011 read our Real Madrid v Barcelona Betting Preview, Tips & Odds Dec 10th 2011 page.
Real Madrid
Real Madrid was only able to win Copa Del Rey last year, but Mourinho’s ambitions sure are for a lot more this season. As every year, the team bought a handful of players: Jose Maria Callejon, Hamit Altintop, Nuri Sahin, Raphael Varane, Fabio Coentrao. Real Madrid won all seven pre-season games, scoring 27 goals and conceding only 5. 13 of those goals occurred in the last 2 games against Tianjin and Guangzhou. Seems like Real Madrid is ready for the new season, and this match on Sunday will be the ultimate test.
Barcelona
Barcelona won the La Liga title last year, as well as the Champions League, and has a game soon for the European Super Cup against FC. Porto. However they will face Real Madrid for the Spanish Super Cup, which will be a good test, especially after the loss in Washington D.C against Manchester United. Currently the team awaits Fabregas, who according to the media will be introduced on Monday. The team bought one play so far Alexis Sanchez from Udinese for €26m. Eight pre-season games for Barcelona, won 3, drew 2, and lost 3, including the most recent one against Espanyol with 0:3.
