For the team news, Carlo Ancelotti will be without some key players ahead of this clash. Goalkeeper Thibaut Courtois will miss this game due to injury, and attacker Rodrygo will also miss this game due to injury. 

Andriy Lunin will replace Courtois in goal while Jude Bellingham might join Vinicius and Mbappe in the front 3. Finally, Tchouameni should be back for this game and is expected to be back in the starting lineup.

For the Barcelona team news, they are boosted by the return of some important players like Frankie De Jong and Fermin Lopez. However, they still have important players out of this game as their first-choice goalkeeper Marc-Andre Ter Stegen and defenders Christensen and Arajuo are all out injured.

Verdict 

This game has all it takes to be a very high-scoring encounter. Both teams are in excellent form and score freely even though they’ll be without some key players. 

Real Madrid has Mbappe and Vinicius who can hurt any team as we saw in their UCL game against Dortmund, while Barcelona has been on a high-scoring cruise since the start of this season.

Both Teams to Score – Yes

Sixty percent of games involving both teams have had both teams finding the net. Also, both teams have world-class attackers and we expect them to find the net.

Barcelona to Win or Draw

Reason: Real Madrid has looked a bit shaky in some of their games this season irrespective of a win. However, while Barcelona has lost once, they rested players in that game, but have thrashed almost all their opponents. We expect Hansi Flick to get the better of Carlo Ancelotti in this game.
