52% of Real Madrid’s matches end with both teams scoring and the average total goals per match is 3.0
In the 26th round of La Liga on March 2, 2026, Real Madrid will host Getafe. Only a victory over their neighbor will satisfy the home side.
The Santiago Bernabéu giants did not win a single trophy in 2025 and have already lost ground in the new calendar year. Xabi Alonso was dismissed after half a year in charge following a lost Super Cup final.
His successor, Arbeloa, debuted with an early exit from the Copa del Rey at the hands of Albacete! The Champions League remained—the team handled Benfica in both legs. In La Liga, they first cut Barcelona’s lead to a minimum, then overtook them—only to immediately falter with a 1-2 defeat to Osasuna.
Their modest neighbor finished thirteenth last spring, tallying just 42 points. The new season started optimistically, but difficult stretches followed, including a run of nine games without a win in winter. However, in February they managed victories over both Alavés and Villarreal. The run ended with a 0-1 defeat to Sevilla.
The title contender boasts impressive statistics: 2.16 goals scored per game and 0.84 conceded. The other Madrid side averages 0.83 goals scored and 1.16 conceded.
