The first leg of El Clasico 2022 takes place Sunday at Santiago Bernabeu Stadium when Real Madrid hosts Barcelona with the top spot in the Spanish La Liga table on the line. Both teams are 7-1-0, and Barcelona sit atop La Liga's table with a seven-goal edge in scoring differential on Real. They are five points clear of their nearest competitors, and a winner would get a leg up on what could be a two-horse race to the title. The teams split last year's two league meetings, with the road team winning each time, and Real Madrid won 3-2 in a Spanish SuperCopa semifinal in January.     

Kickoff from Santiago Bernabeu Stadium in Madrid is set for 10:15 a.m. ET on Sunday. The latest Real Madrid vs. Barcelona odds from Caesars Sportsbook list Real as +127 favorites, with Barcelona the +205 underdogs.

Before you lock in any of your Barcelona vs. Real Madrid picks or Spanish La Liga predictions, you NEED to see what renowned soccer bettor Jon Eimer has to say. 

Eimer is a high-volume bettor who has vast knowledge of leagues and players across the globe. Since joining SportsLine, he has covered the English Premier League, Serie A, the FA Cup and much more.

Eimer knows Real Madrid have won five of the past six meetings in all competitions. They also are the reigning league champions, finishing 13 points clear of second-place Barca last season. Talismanic midfielder Luka Modric remains the engine of the attack, and Karim Benzema (three goals in five matches) is still a lethal finisher. Vinicius Junior has a team-high five goals, and fellow youngsters like Rodrygo (three goals, two assists) and Federico Valverde (three goals, one assist) provide a lot of energy in support.

The soccer insider also knows Barcelona are much stronger than the team that finished as league runner-up last year. Superstar striker Robert Lewandowski has a league-high nine goals and has added two assists in his first season with the team. Barcelona's strength so far has been defense, as they have allowed just one league goal, in their second game of the season. La Blaugrana demolished Real 4-0 at Bernabeu last season, holding the ball for 60 percent of the match and finishing with a 10-4 edge in shots on target.
