Barcelona vs Real Madrid: Preview, free tip and statistics
23.10.2021 08:00
The tenth round of Spain's top competition will feature the world-famous El Clasico on Sunday afternoon.
Background information, news and team form
El Clasico in recent years has always meant a clash between the two most decorated players of recent years in the form of Cristiano Ronaldo and Argentine Lionel Messi. Following Ronaldo's departure from Real Madrid in 2018, the Argentine has emulated him by moving to Paris Saint Germain this summer. Thus, for the first time in 15 years, neither of them will start in this competition and it is time to pass the baton to young players such as Ansu Fati on the Barcelona side or Brazilian Vinicius on the Real Madrid side. On the bench of Barcelona still remains the Dutch coach Coeman, who was speculated that just before El Clasico he might not be the coach of the Catalan club anymore, but in the last few days, he has received assurances from the club president about his stay at least until the end of the season. Opposite him on the Real Madrid bench will sit the highly experienced tactician Carlo Ancelotti. However, even this Italian matador does not have the best statistics when it comes to El Clasico. In the last 5 games that he has led his team has not won once, drawn twice and lost 3 times. However, he can be comforted by the thought that the royal club is now pulling a streak of four undefeated games against Barcelona in a row of which the Madrid club even managed to win 3 times. For both clubs, this match is very important and may give us a big clue as to who will be awarded the trophy for the Spanish La Liga winners at the end of the season. If Barcelona wins they will get ahead of Real Madrid, and conversely if Real wins they will keep their two-point lead over Barcelona, which would strengthen to five points. Moreover, Real's better current form is also playing into Real's hands, for example in the week Real managed to beat Shakhtar 5-0 at their frosty home ground. Barcelona also played their Champions League game during the week, only managing to beat Dynamo Kyiv 1-0 at home.
Betdoin's view of the match
Real go into this match as the odds-on favourites at 2.50. A draw is available at odds of 3.60, and a home win is priced by the bookmakers at odds of 2.80. The goal line for this fixture is written over 2.75. Our clever Betdoin algorithm has evaluated all possible statistics for this prestigious match and one of the best bets seems to be a bet on Real to win away without a draw. The current form of both teams speaks clearly in favour of Real Madrid.
Absentees and estimated line-ups
Barcelona can no longer count on the long-term injured Braithwaite and Ousmane Dembele. Ronald Araujo and Pedri will also be missing. Real will miss Dani Ceballos and Welshman Gareth Bale, who is recovering from a hamstring injury. Belgian Hazard is a doubtful start, who along with Carvajal could make the start of this match with a bit of luck. Other question marks are Isco and Jovic, but their start in the starting eleven would be equally surprising.
Barcelona - probable line-up:
Ter Stegen - Roberto, Pique, Garcia, Balde - Gavi, Busquets, Frankie De Jong - Dest, Memphis, Fati
Real Madrid- estimated line-up:
Courtois - Nacho, Militao, Alaba, Mendy - Kroos, Casemiro, Modric - Rodrygo, Benzema, Vinicius Jr.
