Match preview Real Madrid vs Barcelona

90-minute odds: 0 : 1/2

Total goals: 3 1/2

The El Clásico between Real Madrid and Barcelona takes place at a challenging time for Barcelona due to injuries, a decline in form, and reduced quality both individually and collectively. Additionally, defensive mistakes have become systematic, and coach Hansi Flick is suspended.

Currently, the reigning champion’s style relies heavily on Pedri’s ability to control the pace and Rashford’s moments of brilliance, while Lamine Yamal has yet to regain his top form. The Catalan side also lacks key weapons that secured their flawless victory over this rival last season: Raphinha’s skill and speed, Dani Olmo’s close-range effectiveness, and Lewandowski’s experience and goal-scoring prowess.

In short, Barcelona lacks the "firepower" to win against their opponent, while their high defensive line has recently been easily exploited. Without significant changes, Hansi Flick’s team is likely to face a heavy defeat in this match.

Meanwhile, although not at their best and struggling to adapt their system due to a lack of clear leadership on the pitch, Real Madrid is somewhat more "stable" thanks to the constant brilliance of Kylian Mbappe, who can decide the outcome at Bernabeu and make the biggest difference on the field. Real’s play is not yet fluid but they are more solid and have more stars capable of shining than Barcelona in this match.

Squad status Real Madrid vs Barcelona

Regarding the squads, injuries are a nightmare for both sides. Real Madrid is missing Carvajal, Huijsen, and Rüdiger due to injury, while the availability of Alexander-Arnold, Ferland Mendy, Mastantuono, and Dani Ceballos remains uncertain.

Meanwhile, Barcelona also lack goalkeeper Garcia, Olmo, Torres, Gavi, and the participation of Raphinha and Lewandowski is unclear.

Expected lineups Real Madrid vs Barcelona

- Real Madrid: Courtois; Arnold, Militão, Alaba, Carreras; Tchouameni, Valverde, Bellingham; Guler, Vinicius, Mbappe
