Unfortunately, it is not easy for Barcelona to get full points at the Santiago Bernabeu. Barca's performance is indeed good under the guidance of Hansi Flick, this coach is very skilled and has a lot of experience and a series of achievements. However, the El Clasico match is not easy for Barcelona, even though they have high spirits after being able to defeat Munich at the Camp Nou.
I don't think it's any different with Real Madrid, even if they play at home.
I agree that the El Clasico match is difficult for Barcelona, but Real Madrid should also have the same level of difficulty considering that both teams want to win.
El Real is a team squad that has very good individual quality. I am sure, Don Carlo has thought of a way to defeat Barcelona. Likewise with Flick, he knows that his team's opponent is a tough rivalry. It is not easy to get full points, especially playing at Madrid's headquarters. If Barca has productive players, Madrid also has players who are no less sharp on the front lines. This match will present an exciting and very interesting match, two coaches will compete in tactics and strategies. However, Real Madrid is still favored based on the betting exchange even though their odds are only slightly different. Personally, for now I cannot speculate too far for these two teams. especially for Barcelona, because this match is the second challenge after the match against Bayern Munich. not only for Hansi Flick, but for Barcelona's young players.
Barcelona and Real Madrid must ultimately be ready to accept this challenge and fortunately they are in their best form after beating their respective tough opponents in the Champions League. Vinicius is on fire at Real Madrid, while Raphinha is also on fire at Barcelona. However, there are several things that have not escaped my attention, namely the injury condition of Real Madrid which may be one of the unfortunate things.
Rodrygo and Thibaut Courtois reportedly suffered injuries after the match against Dortmund, but fortunately Real Madrid have equally good players to replace both of them. Ancelotti has many players who are ready to appear in the El Clasico match, but sometimes losing the main players who are key to the game can have a significant impact on the team's performance.
Yes, we know that some Madrid players are injured, of course it is a little advantage for Barca. but Barca also has a weakness in their goalkeeper, Inaki Pena is a little less alert unlike the main goalkeeper. also, a mental test for Casedo and Cubarsi. if I'm not mistaken, Flick will play olmo as the main starter based on temporary predictions. the rest, filled by players as usual. in the El Real camp, referring to the temporary line-up prediction, if Don Carlo applies the 4-3-1-2 pattern, it is the right option. Vini duets with Mbappe and Bellingham as playmakers. this pattern can be 4-3-3 when attacking, maybe there will be a rotation of Mbappe and several other players. in midfield, Valverde, Tchouameni and Camavingga. well, what is vulnerable is the back line. Barca's front line is agile enough to carry out attacks with high intensity, also individual actions like Madrid's front line. well, let's just see when these two teams meet in the El Clasico match. personally, of course I side with the favorite team in this match. however, it is not something easy for Barcelona, especially playing at the Santiago Bernabeu.
