Real Madrid enters the match unbeaten in La Liga, with seven wins and three draws. Their season has shown resilience, especially after a recent Champions League comeback win over Borussia Dortmund. While integrating new star Kylian Mbappe, the team has faced challenges, yet remains solid thanks to the impressive goal-scoring form of Vinicius Junior.

Barcelona, led by Hansi Flick, is in dominant form despite several injuries. The Catalans have won nine of their ten league matches, scoring an impressive 33 goals so far. Fresh from a 4-1 victory over Bayern Munich in the Champions League, they will look to leverage their offensive firepower at Bernabeu.

Real Madrid faces injury setbacks, with both Thibaut Courtois and Rodrygo sidelined. Andriy Lunin will step up as goalkeeper, while Jude Bellingham is expected to support a front two of Vinicius and Mbappe.

Barcelona, meanwhile, may keep key returning players like Frenkie de Jong on the bench, with Marc Casado and Pedri likely controlling the midfield alongside young talents like Lamine Yamal.

Expect a hard-fought battle with neither team willing to give ground easily. Our prediction: a thrilling 2-2 draw.
