Barcelona and Real Madrid. Both teams are in top form and this derby will be the most exciting El Clasico in years. Real Madrid wants to win and catch the leader Barcelona. If Barcelona wins, even though it's only the first half of the season, they will have a very important advantage for the championship. In my opinion, Barcelona is the better of the Real Madrid this season. Under Hansi Flick they are playing a great football. Every player up front is in great form.
Real Madrid, on the other hand, has started to recover little by little and show its strength after a sub par start to the season. Although Barcelona is better in terms of playing strength, Real Madrid's home advantage and physicality cannot be ignored. Vinicius Jr in particular is in great form at the moment. Real Madrid is a team that can come from behind and do wonders, even if they fall behind from time to time, and they are my favorite team in this match.
In the upcoming El Clasico, where Real Madrid and Barcelona hold the top two spots in La Liga, we’re in for an exciting showdown. Barcelona currently leads by a narrow margin, but with the match set to take place in Madrid, Real has a slight advantage. Both teams boast strong attacks, so it’s likely to be a high-scoring encounter.
Expect a tough contest with plenty of chances for both sides. While Barcelona will put up strong resistance, Real, playing at home, will likely secure a narrow victory. My prediction is a 2-1 win for Real Madrid.
