Team news

Real Madrid: Los Blancos are looking fairly good and feeling good entering this game, but they look set to be without Thibaut Courtois due to his sciatic problem. It was unclear if he would make it for this game, and while it isn’t official yet, reports suggest that he won’t be available. He’s been out since Sept. 29. Otherwise, things are looking up. It’s only natural to wonder how Antonio Rudiger will be after his gruesome face injury against Shakhtar Donetsk, but wearing a mask and playing won’t be anything new to him.

Barcelona: Barca had been dealing with injuries to their top three center backs, and while Ronald Araujo and Andreas Christensen continue to recover, Barca will be getting back Jules Kounde for El Clasico. That’s a big one because he can play next to Eric Garcia and greatly boost the backline. Otherwise, Memphis Depay continues to deal with thigh problems, but his minutes were always going to be limited anyways with Xavi having much better options to use in attack.

Prediction

Los Blancos get a goal in each half and take command of the title race. Pick: Real Madrid 2, Barcelona 1
