The Barcelona team is in a much better mental mood after the huge win against Bayern Munich and they are at the top of the points table. Hansi Flick excellent coaching and team building skills are motivating every player and they are showing great performances. Barcelona and Real Madrid will face each other in today's match and both teams are in very strong positions. I think with Real 42 game unbeaten streak in La Liga Barca win could be very difficult. Although in terms of points, Barca is 3 points ahead of Real. A team full of world star players Real have been in a bit of a shambles in the changing conditions but they have been consistently on a winning streak even though some quality players have failed to deliver the desired performance.

Barcelona's coach Flick has succeeded in exploiting the attacking players with his excellent tactics and if they can perform well in today's match the game is possible to win. Attacking stars Rafinha and Lewandowski are in great form and if they can shine Barca can win.

The strongest part about their game is that they can adjust to whatever the opponent does. If we assume that Bayern Munich would have played more defensively, then Barcelona is still able to do superb passing and dribbling. But in this case they were damn sure that Bayern Munich would be playing around their box for minutes and then they waited for the right moment to strike with a counter attack.

I don't know what to expect from Real Madrid in this game. I think they will try to be slightly more dominant than Barcelona, but it won't be the same ball possession distribution like against Bayern Munich. I think it will more be like 50:50 between Real Madrid and Barcelona and then it comes down to who is able to squeeze some of the few chances better than the opponent.

Real Madrid itself has not been defeated playing at home at this time they have collected 15 points from 5 matches which is quite good for them Madrid by relying on home will make them able to catch up on points from Barcelona, ​​​​but talking about Barcelona they are very good at this time after winning big in a big match I am amazed they can win and make a different situation when they meet and most prominently Barcelona's game is quite elite at this time so I also doubt Real Madrid will win this match even though they are playing at home.

Moreover, El Clasico this time will clearly happen something different anything can happen because big matches always present big surprises, so it is not surprising that in this match there will be many unreasonable things that could happen, but talking about the comparison I see Barcelona is better than Real Madrid at this time but I have not found who I will hold for this big bet.

In the end we will see El Clasico in a balanced form, full of prestige and rivalry, and a stage for several young players and new recruits. With Real Madrid appearing undefeated, they will be tested directly by Barcelona who are in their best form. The ambition of both teams to secure full points is very understandable, this is about their bargaining value in the competition for trophies this season.
Real Madrid's big win over Dortmund proved that Ancelotti is quite experienced in dealing with various problems within the team, especially the injury crisis of defenders. Meanwhile, in the Barcelona camp, their success in taking revenge against Bayern Munich showed that they are ready to face any challenge.
However, Real Madrid is slightly more favored because they act as hosts, although basically we realize that El Clasico matches are always troublesome for both teams.

The victory was very emotional for Barcelona because the two teams often meet in the Champions League and for the past few seasons Barcelona seemed to lose their ability when facing Bayern Munich. But for the next match they will face a rival team in La Liga and playing at Real Madrid's home will be a little more difficult especially now that some players who were previously injured are likely to be fielded by Ancelotti.

El Clasico will always be a big match for the rivalry between the two and although it is not as competitive as when Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo were there. I still see a chance for Real Madrid to win the match although Barcelona can also produce a better result.

Of course, the victory further increased the confidence of Barcelona players ahead of El Clasico, they have managed to increase their confidence when facing a team that has always dominated them in the last few meetings. Hansi Flick can also field his best squad because several previously injured players are able to play again, increasingly solid teamwork and supported by an increasingly sharp front line makes them very enthusiastic about facing this match. On the other hand, Real Madrid must be more aware of Barcelona's strength this time, especially since they are very productive in scoring goals. The defense line needs to be the focus because several key players are injured. Ancelotti must instruct his players to help in that area when Barcelona launches an attack.

At the moment, both teams are mentally strong. Their most recent UCL results have been very good, winning by a considerable margin. Barcelona starlet Lamine Yamal has been outstanding. He was able to attract many players to stop him.Real Madrid must be wary. As for Barcelona, Vinicius and Mbappe are the real threats. They are both looking better and better together. As for Mbappe, this is the perfect time that he is an unselfish star player. Real Madrid should take advantage of this moment because playing at the Bernabeu, they must win if they want to equal Barcelona's points. But it won't be easy either, as Gavi's return is a boost for Barcelona.

Can't wait for today's big match between Real Madrid vs Barcelona, ​​seeing Barcelona's impressive performance recently I think Barcelona will avenge their defeat last season, but that's if they can beat the Real Madrid squad because Real Madrid can make a good comeback towards the end of the match, I think there will be many goals scored in the match both teams are equally productive, don't forget I also placed a bet on this match the odds of winning between them are very tempting Real Madrid @ 2.01 while Barcelona @ 3.30 but I'd rather place a bet on on the same multibet to get more convincing odds.

Real Madrid has a very good mentality so there is no doubt with that also with the addition of tomorrow's match will take place at their own home they probably have more confidence than Barcelona, ​​with the statement that these two teams are eternal rivals they certainly have a high desire to beat each other, The thing that Real Madrid needs to be aware of is Barcelona when they are in very good condition with their match that can beat Bayern Munich shows that Barcelona currently has very good improvement, I think Barcelona will probably win their match tomorrow. Each of these two teams has the same problem, namely several players who cannot appear, with Real Madrid themselves they are reported to be appearing without Thibaut Courtois, Rodrygo, Dani Carvajal, and David Alaba. In my opinion, this is an advantage that can be utilized by Barcelona because Real Madrid will appear without one of their good defenders. Barcelona itself is experiencing the same thing with several players who cannot appear, such as ter Stegen, Andreas Christensen, Eric Garcia, and Ferran Torres. However, the attacking line of each of these two teams will be the center of attention, the match will definitely be exciting.
We'll just watch the match later, and I think there will be many people who bet because this is one of the big and hot matches.

Sevilla won 2-0 against Espanyol, with a great performance in this man that saw them collect all three points. We have seen that Sevilla is playing very well this season, the team has improved a lot compared to last season, although they will try to play better in the next matches, but they can occupy a good position in the points table. But the team that played the best in La Liga last season and competed with the top local teams is not playing well this season, I am talking about Girona. Girona was a very good team last season and they played with a lot of rivalry and competition but this season they are playing very badly. Compared to Sevilla, Girona have had a more disappointing season this season, however the team must improve their performance in order to bounce back.

One of the aspects Madrid going to be favorite to win tonight because they play at home. We can't ignore that many players can not be turned for this match, but Madrid has shown that without that player they can still be able to get the winner. We can't ignore also the role of Anceloti. This guy is enough experience on El Clasico, he know how to formulating the strategy to make Madrid got much ball possession to night. Slow but sure, I believe Madrid will dominate the match tonight. What should he think about now is how to close Rapinha, Madrid also think how to close yamal and Gozalez movement.

I prefer to say that Barcelona's victory over Bayern has confirmed that Barcelona is indeed very strong this season. In the match against Bayern, we even saw that Barcelona lost in possession of the ball, but in terms of the effectiveness of the attack they built, it was clear that Barcelona was far superior. But Real Madrid was no less surprising in the UCL match against Dortmund. because Real Madrid managed to score 5 goals in the second half against Dortmund. Which made Real Madrid win dramatically. And maybe in the El Clasico match we will see the clash of the two strongest clubs in the league again. And it's a little confusing whether you should favor the home team, namely Real Madrid, or favor the current leader, namely Barcelona. But I would probably be more interested in being on the Barcelona side for now. because I see that they are the most stable and consistent throughout this season. so I have no doubts about them.

And what's more, Barcelona even now seems to have resurrected their goal-scoring machines like Lewandowski, which faded last season but is now reignited and shining brightly on the field and becoming the top scorer in La Liga.

We can see how an interesting the fight for the title between Barcelona and Real Madrid this season is, because every match contain passion and high level of playmaking. That Barcelona have a victory against Bayern Munich does build them confidence and of course will impact the next derby in their performance. I think that both teams are very close in rank and power, so, virtually every second of the match will be important. Everyone can hear the rustle of każdy moment gry, especially knowing that after the upcoming Barcelona’s victory the difference in points will be even greater, which will be quite a difficult task for Real Madrid to score the necessary amount of points to at least draw with the Catalan club. This event will be a good spectacle for football lovers who always wish to see their team go out there and gives it their best.

Yes, tomorrow big match ..
El Clasico

This is the Real Madrid squad, I don't see Courtois' name there, and it's true, his condition is still not recovered because Courtois has a muscle injury, and is really absent in this El Clasico. Well, we trust Lunin, sure he can.

On the otehr side, barcelona will play with these lists:

But in this case it is not only Barcelona who have momentum although it cannot be denied that their victory over Bayern with a large enough score provides an injection of morale and enthusiasm but in this case Madrid also has the same situation by defeating Dortmund with an equally large score.

So in this case I think these two clubs still have the same momentum where they will continue to try to give their best with their target which is certainly 3 points.

For today's match, Madrid will still be the favorite because they play home but on the other hand Barcelona also still has a great chance to be able to secure 3 points in this match.

After all the struggles this season, Sevilla finally gets a very decent victory in a game, so far this season in the la Liga,  Sevilla has happened to be one of the teams to be counted as struggling but what I don't expect they were goal to get a clean sheet in this game especially with the fact they were been hosted by Espanyol but again like always anything can always happen in football and this wasn't an exception for both teams. Sevilla won by 0-2 getting their second goal in the second half which now gave them three points by the end of the game and keeping them at the 9rh position with 15 points

Last week I predicted that Real Madrid would win the match because as a home team but after I saw Barcelona beat Bayern Munich a few days ago then I was a little doubtful then I checked the betting market and it turned out that it had no impact on Real Madrid's chances I mean Real Madrid is still favored by Sportsbook to win well, of course this makes me wonder whether this is a trap or indeed bookies has another plan. On the one hand I thought maybe the impact of the home team that made Real Madrid still a favorite and also as you said Real Madrid also has some great players who are on fire.

The pre-season game between both team won't really matter for the prediction  of the upcoming El Clasico but at the same time it still shows that Barcelona could have a win because I remembered Barcelona played with most of their academy players and yet they were victorious Realmadrid on the other hand used more of their main squad (not upto though )...
Both team want the point badly and it seems to be another factor that's making it so difficult to predict the game yet one team wants the 3 points more than the other and that's Realmadrid, they will fight to get that 3 point :)because it will do alot for them even though they won't still  be on top of the table...while Barcelona on the other hand can still settle for a shared point at worst that  doesn't stop them as far they are not loosing the whole point, hansi Flick aim is also going to be 3 points nmw but I guess the worse is known already.

I think tomorrow's El Clasico has caught much attention, and will get many views tomorrow, considering how both sides performed in the European competition this week. It's very true that Barcelona has been having some terrible results when they meet with Madrid especially in the 2020/21 season, and the 2021/22 season, though they spanked Madrid in one of the game that season, which I think ended 4nil at Madrid's home ground. And Barce has also suffered in 2023 and 2024, but I think tomorrow's game is going to be different for them.

I personally don't support any side, but I feel Barce just have what it takes( like from attacking wise). Okay fine, real Madrid are also good at attacking, but Vini can not be the only attacking player on the pitch because mbappe hasn't being giving that top performance. I heard that Rodrygo, courtois, and valverde( not sure if I spelt it correctly) will miss the game, which is already a problem to Madrid's part. But regardless, I just want to watch a very beautiful game tomorrow night. Can't really remember the last time I anticipated for a laliga game than other leagues'. The better side will definitely take it all.

Of course, Flick's intentions must be like that because after all, from the beginning he has been given pressure as a replacement for Xavi to give his best for Barcelona this season.

But on the other hand, apart from Flick in the end Ancelotti also has his own ambitions, especially the intentions of these two clubs are both eyeing 3 points where Barcelona have the intention to distance themselves from Madrid and Madrid who really want to stick tight to Barcelona's current position.

This is the second match between Flick and Ancelotti this season because previously their first el clasico was held as a place to try in a friendly match. Although the previous match did provide some information about the attacking schemes, it can't be used as a benchmark as pre-season is sometimes just a testing ground for some schemes and the current match is obviously more different.
It will be a match worth waiting for and actually in this case I still hope Madrid get full points for their match at the Bernabeu tomorrow.
