Real Madrid vs Barcelona Preview and Team News
Real Madrid Team News
It’s safe to say Real Madrid have managed to bounce back just fine following their 5-2 derby loss to Atlético on September 27, as they’ve won their subsequent four encounters across all competitions while keeping three clean sheets.
They’re coming off a hard-working 1-0 win over Juventus in the UEFA Champions League, maintaining a perfect record in the tournament so far (W3).
With 10 goals scored and just one conceded over their ongoing four-match winning streak, there’s little to criticize about Real Madrid right now. Still, they’ll need all the positivity they can get before this latest chapter of El Clásico, though. They went winless against Barcelona in the 2024-25 season (D1, L3) and suffered an embarrassing 0-4 defeat in their previous meeting at this venue.

Real Madrid have a few injury concerns ahead of this clash, most notably Dean Huijsen, though the Spanish centre-back is expected to start alongside Eder Militao if fit. Dani Carvajal is also doubtful, and while he’s likely to be available, he’s slated to begin the game on the bench with Federico Valverde starting at right-back. Look for Vinicius Junior and Mbappe to lead the attack once again, with Rodrygo and Franco Mastantuono waiting for their chance to shine on the bench.
Real Madrid predicted lineup vs Barcelona (4-3-1-2): Courtois; Valverde, Huijsen, Eder Militao, Carreras; Tchouameni, Arda Guler, Camavinga; Bellingham; Mbappe, Vinicius Junior.
Barcelona Team News
Barcelona have been struggling with injuries throughout the season, but somehow, Hansi Flick’s men always find a way to turn things around. The best example came on Tuesday, when they faced Olympiacos in Greece without several key starters due to injury but still secured a 6-1 win, headlined by Fermín López’s hat-trick and Marcus Rashford’s brace.
Los Blaugranas are also coming off a 2-1 win over Girona in the previous round of LaLiga, effectively bouncing back from their 1-4 defeat at the hands of Sevilla. Even though the victory was expected, the team’s consistency amid the injury crisis is remarkable. Unfortunately, the situation won’t improve much in this derby. Barcelona won’t make significant tweaks to the squad that defeated Olympiacos.
Raphinha is expected to return after a lengthy absence, though the Brazilian should start on the bench. The list of confirmed absentees includes Dani Olmo, Robert Lewandowski, Joan García, Gavi, and Marc-Andre ter Stegen. However, Lamine Yamal should be available and ready to wreak havoc on the right wing, while Fermín and Rashford should remain in the XI after their impressive displays in midweek.
Barcelona predicted lineup vs Real Madrid (4-2-3-1): Szczesny; Koundé, Cubarsí, Eric García, Balde; Pedri, de Jong; Yamal, Fermín, Rashford; Ferran Torres.

Real Madrid vs Barcelona Prediction, Odds
- Pick: Over 3.5 total goals
- Odds: -129 (Tonybet)
- Correct score prediction: Real Madrid 3-2 Barcelona
It’s increasingly difficult to find a winner between these two teams. Both clubs are enjoying impressive starts to their respective seasons, and while Real Madrid might hold a slight edge given all the injuries affecting Barcelona, Los Blaugranas have had Los Merengues’ number in recent years. With elite talent on both sides, this fixture could go either way.
Thus, we’ll take a different approach and focus on it as a potentially high-scoring matchup. Their most recent meeting produced seven total goals in a 4-3 come-from-behind win for Barcelona, and recent history suggests we could see something similar again this Sunday.
Each of their last six head-to-heads saw at least four total goals. The last time El Clásico didn’t feature at least three goals in a league game was back in 2020. All signs point to another high-scoring contest in this clash of giants.
Real Madrid vs Barcelona Betting Tip
- Pick: Kylian Mbappe to score anytime – yes
- Odds: -139 (Tonybet)
It’s only fitting to expect one of the best players in the world to step up in one of the biggest games in the world, right? Even though Mbappe has yet to win a fixture against Barcelona as a Real Madrid player (D1, L3), the Frenchman has consistently delivered whenever called upon. He scored five of Los Blancos’ seven goals against Barça in 2024-25, including a hat-trick in their most recent meeting.
Mbappe has enjoyed an excellent start to the season and ranks as the top scorer in LaLiga with 10 goals and two assists across nine appearances. He didn’t find the net in the UCL win over Juventus on Wednesday, and that snapped an 11-match scoring streak for both club and country. However, Real Madrid need him to step up, and he should deliver once again.
