Goals in the Desert
Whilst few Spanish fans are likely to make the short trip over the Mediterranean, this doesn’t seem to have hampered either side, as goals have been the main features of their games when not playing on the Iberian Peninsula.
So much so that four of their last five clashes in either Saudi or further afield have seen the three-goal line hit.
Neither side has performed too poorly in the league when it comes to goal either, with both seeing the line hit in over a quarter of their games.
Barca has also seen three or more goals in three of their last four games, as goals have been the main feature of their games.
Look for the goal fest that has followed these two sides in their clashes around the world, to persist on their journey to Riyadh.

All scores on trips abroad
In addition to their games outside of Spain being goal fests, both sides seem capable of getting on the scoresheet, without scores of opposing fans halting the progress.
It also held in their only La Liga match this season, one that saw Real emerge victorious with a 2-1 victory.
Both sides should be able to get a goal in the game, as the atmosphere should prove to be far less combative than is normally expected.

Madrid coming out on top
Real have come out on the losing end of the majority of these clashes recently, yet amid their push for the title and Barca’s apparent fall off, they could secure turn the tide on the past.
This already came to pass this season as they defeated Barca, at home, back at the end of October.
The Catalans are also missing many of their core players, with Raphinha, Pedri, Marcos Alonso, Joao Cancelo, Gavi and Marc-Andre ter Stegen all looking doubtful for the match.
With so many of their starting XI out, this could impact their ability to put up a proper fight in the game, and without the backing of their fervent fans, fall afoul of the might of Real.
