Barcelona vs Real Madrid Prediction & Betting Tips (28 October)

Last weekend, Xavi's squad won a small but very important victory against Athletic Bilbao 1-0 as it made up for the draw conceded just before the break on the Granada pitch 2- 2 and come back to one point from first place, which Real Madrid still occupies. 3rd at the start of this day, the Catalans are finally undefeated in all competitions and they clearly defended their status in the Champions League on Wednesday evening against Shakhtar with an ultra-reshuffled group 2-1.

Suitable or not suitable? Robert Lewandowski is not sure he will be in combat gear for this Clasico like Frenkie de Jong, winger Raphinha and Jules Koundé. Players who can clearly claim a starting place in the Catalan eleven. On the other hand, the Spanish genius, Pedri should have returned to action this week against Shakhtar like Sergi Roberto but the two men were still absent. To see if they will be present this weekend. Let's take the time to talk about the beautiful story of the young star trained at La Masia, Marc Guiu who quite simply scored his first goal with the A during his first appearance among the pros, a few seconds after coming into play! The latter will probably be on the scoresheet for his first Clasico. Mute for six games with Barça in all competitions, Joao Félix still has an incredible volume of play and he is often the detonator of Barcelona's offensives in championship or Champions League matches. Out injured against Shakhtar in the Champions League, the Portuguese only received one knock and he will probably be in the mix for his first Clasico.

Opposite, Ancelotti will do as usual without his starting point guard Thibaut Courtois (convalescing from his ruptured cruciate ligaments), defense captain Eder Militao (same injury) and without Dani Ceballos. The Turkish crack, Güler could see his name on the scoresheet for his first big meeting against the Catalan club while the Spanish international striker Joselu (5 pawns in 10 appearances in the league) was not on the trip to Braga during the week since he was sick. Both men are uncertain. On cloud nine since his arrival from Dortmund, Jude Bellingham is ultimately very lonely on a personal level (8 goals, 2 assists in La Liga in 10 games). Indeed, Rodrygo is not there at all (1 goal, 1 assist) and Vinicius (long injured in September) must now catch up (2 goals in 7 appearances).
