Real Madrid vs Barcelona: El Clásico Preview, Team News & Predicted Lineups

Real Madrid have been close to flawless this season, registering 11 wins from 12 matches across all competitions. Their only defeat came away to Atletico Madrid at the end of September.

Under Xabi Alonso, Los Blancos have won eight of their nine La Liga games, collecting 24 points to sit two clear of Barcelona at the top of the table. Their most recent domestic outing saw them edge Getafe 1-0, while a Jude Bellingham strike secured a midweek Champions League win over Juventus, maintaining their perfect European record.

Despite not always reaching their fluid best, Real Madrid remain prolific — scoring 20 goals and conceding nine in La Liga. The coming weeks look intense, with clashes against Valencia, Liverpool, and Rayo Vallecano before the November international break.

Madrid will also be seeking revenge after losing all four meetings with Barcelona last season, including a painful 4-0 defeat at the Bernabéu.

Barcelona’s Recent Form

Barcelona also enjoyed midweek success, smashing Olympiacos 6-1 in the Champions League to get back on track. However, their domestic form has been more inconsistent. A 4-1 defeat to Sevilla before the international break raised questions, though they responded with a 2-1 win over Girona last weekend.

Defensive frailties have been a concern for Hansi Flick’s side, who have dropped points against Rayo Vallecano and struggled to maintain clean sheets. With several injuries to key players, the Catalans’ depth will again be tested ahead of this trip to Madrid.

The reigning champions face Elche, Celta Vigo, and Club Brugge before the next break, but for now, all focus is on El Clásico — and Lamine Yamal will once again shoulder much of the attacking burden.

Team News

Real Madrid:

  • In: Trent Alexander-Arnold, Dani Carvajal, Dean Huijsen, Dani Ceballos

  • Out: Antonio Rüdiger (muscle injury), David Alaba (groin)

  • Notes: Federico Valverde is likely to continue at right-back, while Raul Asencio partners Nacho or Huijsen in central defence.
    Bellingham — fresh from scoring his first goal of the campaign — should start alongside Mbappé, Vinícius Júnior, and Franco Mastantuono in attack.

Barcelona:

  • In: Frenkie de Jong (recovered from illness)

  • Doubts: Jules Koundé (knock), Raphinha (hamstring)

  • Out: Ter Stegen, Gavi, Lewandowski, Dani Olmo, Joan Garcia

If Koundé misses out, Ronald Araújo will partner Pau Cubarsí at centre-back, with Eric Garcia potentially at right-back. In attack, Fermin López, Lamine Yamal, and Marcus Rashford are expected to support Ferran Torres up front.

Prediction

Real Madrid’s home form and attacking firepower make them slight favourites, but Barcelona’s young stars have the quality to trouble Alonso’s men. Expect an intense tactical battle and plenty of goals.
