26/10: Weekend Football Predictions: Real Madrid vs Barcelona + 9 more tips

Betting Predictions

On Saturday night, Real Madrid will host Barcelona in the most recent El Clasico, one of the most anticipated football matches on the calendar, at the Bernabeu.

With Barcelona leading the La Liga table and Real Madrid in second place, three points behind their rivals, Barcelona has been the most impressive team in Spain’s premier division this season.

Head-to-Head

Despite being undefeated in La Liga, Real Madrid enters this encounter three points behind their fiercest rivals after ten games. Barcelona has won nine of their ten league games and eleven of their thirteen games in all competitions thus far, making them all but flawless. Both sides will enter this encounter with a lot of confidence after winning their Champions League games in the middle of the week.      

Team News

Thibaut Courtois and Rodrygo are both sidelined for the next two to three weeks owing to issues they had against Bayern, dealing Real Madrid a double injury blow ahead of this game.

As a result, Andriy Lunin is slated to start in goal, and Rodrygo’s absence will likely result in a formation alteration, with Bellingham playing behind Vinicius Junior and Mbappe in the front two. Bellingham hasn’t scored this season, while Mbappe has eight goals in 13 games, and Vinicius’ treble against Dortmund brought his season total to eight.

David Alaba and Dani Carvajal will be missing along with Courtois and Rodrygo. Still, Brahim Diaz might come to the team and offer an intriguing alternative off the bench in the second half of the match.

Following their issues this season, Frenkie de Jong, Dani Olmo, and Gavi are all fully recovered for Barcelona; yet, the three may still start on the bench in El Clasico.

With Fermin Lopez, who contributed two assists against Bayern, playing as number 10, Marc Casado, who has received particular acclaim from his boss for his performances this season, will probably stay in midfield with Pedri.

Due to injuries, Marc Bernal, Andreas Christensen, Ferran Torres, Ronald Araujo, and Marc-Andre ter Stegen are all out. There is a possibility that Eric Garcia might return to the team.

Robert Lewandowski, who will continue to play in the final third of the field, has been in excellent form this season. Lewandoski has scored 15 goals in 13 appearances across all competitions, including 12 goals in 10 La Liga games.

Probable Line-Up

Real Madrid XI:

Lunin; Vazquez, Militao, Rudiger, Mendy; Valverde, Tchouameni, Camavinga; Bellingham; Vinicius, Mbappe

Barcelona XI:

Pena; Kounde, Cubarsi, I Martinez, Balde; Casado, Pedri; Yamal, Fermin, Raphinha; Lewandowski

Verdict

Tip BTTS (YES)

Reason

In what could be an exciting Clasico, the two top-scoring clubs in La Liga square off. Both sides are undoubtedly in strong attacking form as Madrid defeated Dortmund by five goals on Tuesday and Barcelona defeated Bayern by four goals on Wednesday. Given that both clubs are without their starting goalkeepers, it appears like backing goals is the best course of action in this situation.

Tip: Over 2.5 Goalsâś…

Reason

There’s always plenty of fun when Real Madrid and Barcelona clash. Three or more goals were scored in each of the previous seven meetings between the two clubs in all competitions, while wagers on more than 2.5 goals were profitable in each of the previous seven La Liga games.

Apart from that, both teams are currently playing excellent goal-scoring games; Barcelona is averaging three goals per game this season, while the hosts have at least two goals from each of their last three games. It will be shocking if there aren’t three goals or more this weekend at the BernabĂ©u.
