The 10th round of fixtures starts with Real leading the pack in Spain, but the situation could change already Friday night when surprise package Girona hosts Celta Vigo. The two teams are tied on 25 points, with Barca coming straight behind them with 24 points.
Both of the Spanish giants head into Saturday’s big match in very good form. Barcelona has failed to win only three times this season across all competitions, and 11 of Real’s 13 outings have ended in victories. However, there have been a few struggles for Carlo Ancelotti’s men away from home, as Los Blancos have won just one of their last three games on the road.
Ancelotti and Real have struggled in most recent head-to-head meetings with Barcelona, losing four of the previous six clashes, but that was before Jude Bellingham arrived in town. The young Englishman has taken the league by storm, and only a few sides have managed to keep him quiet. He’s embraced the challenge of playing for a huge club like Real with open arms and must relish the chance to face Barcelona in El Clasico on Saturday.
Barcelona has a new star in the team as well in the shape of 16-year-old Lamine Yamal. He could have a very heavy load on his shoulder on Saturday, as Robert Lewandowski is in danger of missing the match. The Polish goal machine picked up an ankle injury a few weeks back in the Champions League against Porto and faces a battle against time to be ready for Saturday.
Lewandowski’s return would be a major boost for Barca. While the team’s results have remained good, there have been problems breaking down teams without the veteran star. Xavi’s men have relied on youngsters Marc Guiu and Fermin Lopez to produce the match-winning goal in back-to-back games.
Barcelona has dominated recent El Clasicos, but the historical results remain very even in the contest. The Catalunyan side has 100 victories, while Real has triumphed 102 times. There have been 52 draws between the two but none in a league meeting since 2019 when a battle at Camp Nou finished 0-0.
