Barcelona vs Real Madrid Preview and Team News
Barcelona Team News
Barcelona and Real Madrid meet each other in the 35th round of La Liga in an El Clásico that will have a lot at stake. Both teams are vying with each other for the league title this season, with Barcelona currently leading the table.
Barca, who were beaten by Inter Milan in the semifinal of the UEFA Champions League midweek, are hurting deeply and will want to come back as strong as possible. Hansi Flick’s men will be disheartened by this loss as it put paid to their hopes of aiming for a treble this season, but that will have to wait. Currently, Barca have high hopes of winning La Liga after having already claimed the Copa del Rey.
United by our colors!

If they win this game, they will go on, in all likelihood, to snatch the title from Madrid, who are the defending champions. However, if Barcelona get defeated, Madrid will be back in the race. Only a draw will satisfy both sets of fans and take the title race down to the last game week. Barca know that with Robert Lewandowski back in the hunt, they will have an advantage over Madrid.
Lamine Yamal is ranked 1st in big chances created in the competition (25), and he will have a massive role to play on the flanks. The youngster’s ability in one-on-one situations has been noted across the world, but in this game, his off-the-ball play will be as important as what he does on it. He can play the role of gelling the midfield and attack with fluid passes and through balls.

Their attacking forces got affected when Lewandowski was ruled out with a hamstring injury, but now that he is back, Hansi Flick’s side can be expected to function at full speed. Daniel Rodriguez is a doubtful starter in this game while the likes of Jules Koundé, Marc Bernal and Marc Casado are not expected to return to the fray anytime soon.
Keeping an eye out for Barca’s attacking players will be tough for Madrid’s defenders, and the likes of Ferran Torres, Raphinha and Lamine Yamal will have a good time employing short passes, crosses and weighted balls in the attacking third.
Barcelona predicted lineup vs Real Madrid (4-2-3-1): Szczesny; Garcia, Araujo, Cubarsi, Martinez; De Jong, Pedri; Yamal, Torres, Raphinha; Lewandowski.
Real Madrid Team News
Real Madrid are a club who are hurting a lot this season. After having lost the Copa del Rey final to Barcelona a few weeks ago and getting knocked out of the Champions League by Arsenal in the quarterfinal stage, Los Blancos desperately need to retain their La Liga title.
Although they are four points adrift of Barcelona in the league table, Madrid have the firepower to upturn the scale and take control of proceedings. For them to even harbour the hope of retaining the title, they will have to win this game first, which will help them reduce the gap between the two teams to just one point.

Madrid have been unbeaten in their last four matches in La Liga while having lost two out of their last five games overall. The 2-3 loss to Barcelona in the Copa del Rey final needs to be forgotten by Carlo Ancelotti’s men as they prepare for this game, albeit without the presence of Antonio Rüdiger, whose meniscus injury will keep him out till late this month.
Edouardo Camavinga and Ferland Mendy have joined Rüdiger on the injury list while the likes of Daniel Carvajal, David Alaba and Eder Militao continue to nurse long-term injuries. The good thing is that striker Kylian Mbappé is back, and his presence, both on and off the ball will be needed for Madrid.

Mbappé showed precisely why he is so highly rated across the world with a fine showing against Celta Vigo last weekend. In this game, midfielder Luka Modrić will have to step in with his experience and distribute the ball with precision to ensure that no attacking move gets wasted and everyone gets involved in pushing their team forward.
Real Madrid predicted lineup vs Barcelona (4-3-3): Courtois; Vazquez, Asencio, Tchouaméni, F. Garcia; Valverde, Ceballos, Modrić; Bellingham, Vinicius, Mbappé.
Barcelona vs Real Madrid Prediction
- Pick: Barcelona to win or draw
- Odds: -385 (20Bet)
- Score prediction: Barcelona 2-1 Real Madrid
Barcelona, playing at home and boosted by their recent 3-2 win over Real Madrid in the Copa del Rey final, are expected to have an upper hand in this encounter. We expect them to either win or draw this game.
Of late, Barcelona have beaten Madrid in 26 out of the 56 encounters recorded between the two teams while being beaten in just 20. However, they have remained unbeaten (won or drawn) on 36 out of those 56 occasions. The teams have met each other thrice so far this season, and Barca have run away winners each time with scorelines of 4-0, 5-2 and 3-2 respectively.
Barcelona vs Real Madrid Prediction, Betting Tip
- Pick: Both teams to score
- Odds: -244 (20Bet)
It goes without saying that we expect both teams to score in this game. For Barcelona, Lewandowski will be the key player in the attacking third while Madrid will rely heavily on the services of Mbappé.
Along with Lewandowski, Yamal, Torres, and Raphinha will join in for the home team while Rodrygo, Vinicius and Jude Bellingham will step up to share the workload with Mbappé. Both teams boast of extremely toughened attacking units, and it will be interesting to see them operate in tandem and light their respective attacking thirds up with their antics.
