Real Madrid vs Barcelona Prediction & Betting Tips - LaLiga
by Joseph King in LaLiga Predictions
The first Clasico of the season is set for Saturday evening as defending champions Real Madrid host league-leading Barcelona. We’ve got a few predictions lined up for this must-see match between Los Blancos and Blaugrana.
Real Madrid are unbeaten in La Liga yet come into this game trailing their bitter rivals by three points with 10 matches already in the books. Barcelona have been near perfect so far, winning nine of their 10 league fixtures and 11 of their 13 matches across all competitions. Both teams will come into this clash high on confidence after each pulling off big wins in their midweek Champions League matches.
Despite it still being early on in the campaign, this fixture definitely carries with it title implications. Last season saw Madrid do the double over their rivals in addition to a 4-1 win in the Spanish Super Cup. Who will come out victorious in the nation’s capital on Saturday? Let’s get into the match statistics.

Real Madrid & Barcelona Squad Analysis
The hosts will have to make due without a few of their most important players. Winger Rodrygo will miss out for the next few weeks with a hamstring injury suffered in the win over Dortmund. Goalkeeper Thibaut Courtois also suffered a thigh injury in that midweek match, keeping him out for this game.
Dani Carvajal is a long-term absence after suffering an ACL tear earlier this month, as is David Alaba.
Madrid’s Vinicius Jr and Barcelona’s Raphinha both netted midweek hat tricks!
The matchup between the two Brazilians is just one of the many mouth-watering battles that fans will be looking forward to. Robert Lewandowski and Kylian Mbappe are also sure to share much of the spotlight with the former already having scored 15 goals this season.
Barcelona manager Hansi Flick has his own injury concerns to deal with. The visitors will be missing no fewer than five players including: Marc-André ter Stegen, Andreas Christensen, Ronald Araújo, Marc Bernal and Ferran Torres.

Our Real Madrid vs Barcelona Prediction
The two top-scoring teams in La Liga face off in what promises to be an action-packed Clasico. Madrid put five past Dortmund on Tuesday while Barcelona netted four against Bayern on Wednesday, so both teams are certainly in good attacking form.
Backing goals looks to be the way to go here, especially as both teams are missing their first-choice goalkeepers. This one should finish at least 2-1 to either side given the abundance of attacking talent on the pitch. Our Real Madrid vs Barcelona prediction: both teams to score + over 2.5 goals.
