BAR vs RM Dream11 Match Prediction Barcelona vs Real Madrid La Liga 24 October

BAR vs RM Dream11 Prediction: Yet another El Clasico is upon us as Real Madrid make the trip to the Camp Nou to take on fierce rivals, Barcelona. This clash has given fans all over the world tons of entertainment over the years and also staged the Cristiano Ronaldo vs Lionel Messi rivalry for a long time. Barcelona began the season in fine form with back to back wins but slumped with a 1-1 draw to Sevilla and a shock 1-0 loss to Getafe. They responded well with a 5-1 win at home to Hungarian side, Ferencvaros. The loss and draw have put the Catalonians in 9th place in the La Liga table. Their rivals, Real Madrid, sitting in 3rd place albeit having played a game more. Their good start to the season has also been rocked by two back-to-back defeats. The first defeat came at home to Cadiz and then again, a 3-2 loss at home to Shakhtar Donetsk. But neither team will need their form guide as a motivating factor for a fixture of this magnitude. The bitter rivalry is etched in their DNAs and as the current champions, Real Madrid will take up most of the pressure as they need to defend their title now.

BAR vs RM Dream11 Prediction Team News, Injury Report, Starting Lineups

Barcelona Team News 

Injury Report, Unavailability: Marc-Andre Ter Stegen and Samuel Umtiti are the confirmed absentees and will miss out with knee injuries.

Doubtful: Jordi Alba sustained a hamstring injury but is back in training so it remains to be seen if he gets the nod at left-back.

Expected changes: A start for new signing, Sergino Dest, could be on the cards should Jordi Alba not make the game. Antoine Griezmann was left out of their Champions League game in midweek but should be back for this game. Pedro Neto deputizes between the sticks in Ter Stegen’s absence in BAR vs RM Today Match Prediction.

BAR Playing 11 (probable):

Pedro Neto (GK)
Sergi Roberto
Gerard Pique
Clement Lenglet
Jordi Alba
Miralem Pjanic
Frenkie de Jong

Real Madrid Team News

Injury Report, Unavailability: Real Madrid has more troubles than Barcelona with Martin Odegaard, Dani Carvajal and Eden Hazard missing out on the action.

Doubtful: Alvaro Odriozola and Mariano Diaz are doubtful and are closer to missing the game than featuring in it.

Expected changes: With Hazard’s absence, Rodrygo will continue to play. Sergio Ramos missed the Champions League match but will be back for the El Clasico. Marco Asensio should continue to start over Luka Jovic who has been disappointing so far. Vinicius Junior may start this game with Rodrygo having played in midweek.

Thibaut Courtois (GK)
Nacho Monreal
Sergio Ramos
Raphael Varane

Let’s take a look at BAR vs RM Dream11 Team Prediction now

BAR vs RM Today Match Prediction – Who will win today’s match?

Despite entering the game as equals, the odds slightly favour Barcelona due to their stunning 5-1 win against Ferencvaros. Real Madrid will look to respond strongly after 2 back to back losses but getting back to winning ways away at Camp Nou is never an easy task. The home side also has the fitter squad and fewer injuries with Ter Stegen being the only notable absentee. Real will have to do without Eden Hazard and Martin Odegaard with most of their front three being largely out of form. The stakes are higher for both sides as a win for the Cules takes them level on points with the Los Blancos but a loss puts a gap of 6 points between the two sides which will come as a crushing blow to Ronald Koeman’s side at this stage of the season. Both sides are drawn at 96 wins in the all-time head-to-head in the El Clasico which suggests that there is more than just the 3 points at stake here, with bragging right being equally valuable. BAR vs RM Dream11 Team follows now.

BAR vs RM Dream11 Teams

Captain options

Lionel Messi – The man, the myth, the legend – Lionel Messi, is most probably the greatest footballer to ever play the game. He had a falling out with the Barcelona board and even wanted out but everything seems alright now as he has 2 goals and 1 assist this season. Messi had a goal and assist to his name against Ferencvaros on Tuesday night. The Argentinian also has a massive 26 goals and 14 assists against Real Madrid.

Karim Benzema – The Frenchman only made the bench against Shakhtar and Real Madrid seemingly paid the price for it. As soon as Benzema came on in the second half, he had an immediate impact and Real scored two quickfire goals. His 250 goals and 130 assists should be enough to strike fear in the Barcelona defence and will be a constant threat to them.

Antoine Griezmann – A rivalry with Real Madrid will be nothing new for Griezmann as he used to represent their cross-town rivals, Atletico Madrid for about 5 seasons. Griezmann has endured a tough start to life in Barcelona and hasn’t found the net this season, having found it only 9 times this season. But there aren’t many better ways of getting off the mark than with a goal in an El Clasico.

X-factors (differential picks)

Vinicius Junior – Vinicius came off the bench to score the second goal against Shakhtar Donetsk after being left out. But he is sure to start this game and with 3 goals in 3 starts, he is bound to be an irritant to the Barcelona defence. Starting on the left-wing, Vinicius will be up against Sergi Roberto which should be an interesting battle.

Ansu Fati – The 17-year-old is having a ball after breaking out on the scene last season. He has already scored 3 goals in La Liga with a further goal and assist in the Champions League against Ferencvaros. Ansu Fati may just be the next big thing in football and playing alongside the likes of Lionel Messi will only do him good.

Marco Asensio – After a long injury, Marco Asensio is back and playing regular football. He played the full 90 minutes against Shakhtar and came on at half-time against Cadiz. Despite not scoring yet, Asensio’s performances have been very promising and it seems like a goal contribution is right around the corner.
