According to the best betting apps for soccer, Barcelona are the slight favorites at 2.20 (6/5). A draw is offered at 3.90 (29/10), while Real Madrid are the underdogs at 3.10 (21/10) to beat the Blaugrana in the latest 2024–25 Copa del Rey odds.
El Clasico has been very balanced in the last few years, as in the last 12 head-to-head games, Barcelona won six, and Real Madrid won six. Barca beat Los Blancos twice this season, while Real M beat them three times in a row before that.
Barcelona are currently at the top of the La Liga standings with 76 points. Barca beat Barbastro, Real Betis, Valencia, and finally Atletico Madrid to reach the Spanish Cup Final. The Blaugrana will face Inter Milan in the UCL semi-finals 1st leg this Wednesday.
Barca are coming off a solid 1-0 home win over Mallorca in La Liga. Dani Olmo scored the only and winning goal for the team at the start of the first half. Barcelona had a lot of chances, but Mallorca’s goalkeeper was phenomenal and saved 12 shots on target. That win increased their unbeaten streak in the league to 14 games.
Barcelona will be without Marc Bernal, Marc-Andre ter Stegen, and Marc Casado due to long-term injuries, while Robert Lewandowski and Alejandro Balde are also expected to miss this game.
Real Madrid are currently sitting in 2nd place in the La Liga standings with 72 points. Los Blancos lost to Arsenal 5-1 on aggregate in the UCL quarter-finals. They beat Deportiva Minera, Celta Vigo, Leganes, and finally Real Sociedad on their way to the Copa del Rey final.
Real Madrid are coming off a crucial 1-0 away win over Getafe in La Liga. Arda Guler scored the winning goal in only his third start in the last 13 games. That was a much-needed win for the Whites after losing four of the last six games, as they are now back in the race for the league title.
Real Madrid are still missing Dani Carvajal and Eder Militao due to long-term injuries, while Eduardo Camavinga and David Alaba got injured lately and are also out, as Kylian Mbappe and Ferland Mendy are questionable.

Barcelona dominated both games against Real Madrid this season, having scored nine goals and conceded only twice. Hansi Flick has been superior to Carlo Ancelotti, who is expected to leave at the end of the season, in both matches. Los Blancos lost four of their last seven games, with their three wins in that stretch all being narrow 1-0 victories and not the best performance either.
The La Liga 2025 betting sites have enticing odds on Barcelona to win El Clasico. They have won 22 of their last 27 games, drawn four, and lost only once, so they are in great form and spirits right now.

El Clasico has gone over the total in nine of the last 10 matches, averaging 4.3 goals per game. Both teams are very good offensively, as they are the 1st and 2nd best teams on the attack in La Liga. Barcelona have gone over the total in eight of their last 14 games, having averaged 3.2 goals per game in those matches. Six of the last eight Copa del Rey finals have gone over the total as well.

Ferran Torres is expected to start the final due to Lewandowski’s injury, and he is tied for first on the Copa del Rey 24/25 top scorers list with five goals, so the motivation to score is high for him. Torres has scored six goals and had one assist in the last 10 games for Barca, despite starting only half of those matches. Real Madrid’s defense will be shaky in this game, as they are missing most of their defensive players, such as Eder Militao, David Alaba, Eduardo Camavinga, and potentially Ferland Mendy.
Barcelona are healthier and in better form right now, and they have done well against Real M this season. Make sure you use our 2025 Barcelona vs Real Madrid betting predictions and bet them at the legal football bookies in Spain to have more fun watching the game.
