Average of 4.2 goals per game

In the last 15 league games between the two, 63 total goals have been scored, an average of 4.2 per game.

Of these last 15 games, Barça have won 10, drawn 2, and lost 3. In fact the only ties were last year, a goalless draw in Madrid and a 1-1 tie at Camp Nou which clinched the league title for Atlético. The real high-scoring games came from 2007 to 2009 when they faced each other six times and scored 36 total goals, six per game on average. Barça won four of those six by scores of 6-0, 3-0, 6-1, and 5-2. Atlético, meanwhile, won a pair by 4-2 and 4-3.
