Real Madrid
Barcelona
  • Injuries have struck Real Madrid as Thibaut Courtois and Rodrygo are sidelined for the upcoming two to three weeks.
  • Andriy Lunin is set to take over the goalkeeping duties in Courtois' absence.
  • The absence of Rodrygo might prompt a tactical shift, with Jude Bellingham likely to operate behind a striking duo comprising Vinicius Junior and Kylian Mbappe.
  • Brahim Diaz could make a return to the squad, offering a dynamic option off the bench. However, David Alaba and Dani Carvajal will miss out alongside Courtois and Rodrygo.
  • Frenkie de Jong, Dani Olmo and Gavi have regained fitness after previous setbacks but might start on the bench for the El Clásico showdown.
  • Marc Casado has had special praise from his manager for his performances this season, and it is likely that he will continue in midfield alongside Pedri, with Fermin Lopez, who provided two assists against Bayern, operating as the number 10.

Prediction

  • In one of football's most anticipated clashes, Real Madrid and Barcelona are set to ignite the pitch in a battle that transcends the sport. Real Madrid, currently undefeated in La Liga, sit second with 24 points, trailing Barcelona by a mere three points.
  • Under Carlo Ancelotti's guidance, Real Madrid boasts a recent dominance over Barcelona, winning their last four encounters across competitions. With a league double over their rivals in the previous season, including a 3-2 victory at Bernabéu, the Los Blancos look to maintain their stronghold at home, where they haven't lost to Barcelona in the league since March 2022.
  • Meanwhile, Barcelona, led by Hansi Flick, has been a force to reckon with, winning nine out of their 10 league matches and scoring prolifically with 33 goals. Their recent 5-1 triumph over Sevilla and a remarkable Champions League victory against Bayern Munich, headlined by Raphinha's hat-trick, underscore their current form and attacking prowess.
  • As both teams gear up for this monumental clash, the stakes are high. Real Madrid aim to move level on points with their arch-rivals, while Barcelona seeks to extend their lead at the top. A win for either side could set the tone for the season ahead, promising an electrifying showdown between two of football's most storied clubs.
  • The football world awaits with bated breath as these titans prepare to clash in the iconic El Clásico, a fixture that transcends mere competition and embodies the essence of footballing greatness.
