BAR vs RM Dream11 MATCH PREVIEW:
Defending champions FC Barcelona host the first El Clasico of the season as the struggling challenger Real Madrid head to Catalonia to play their eternal rival tomorrow at Camp Nou.
FC Barcelona:
The club football match can’t get any bigger than this. It’s the big one. It’s the El Clasico. And for the first time since 2007, both Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo won’t be taking part in this global showpiece match of the season.
Barcelona’s Argentine superstar suffered a broken arm against Sevilla, forcing him to miss the Inter Milan clash in the Champions League. The 5-times Ballon d’Or will be missing the three-week of action but the early signs are that Barca may be more equipped to deal with the absence of their star man than Madrid who, without Ronaldo, looked a pale shadow of their former self.
After struggling in a three-game period where Ernesto Valverde’s team lost against Leganes and drew at home vs Girona, it seems that Barcelona have returned to their marauding best both in the league and Europe. Last weekend, Barca won the top of the table clash 4-2 against Sevilla, followed by a comfortable 2-0 win over Inter Milan in the Champions League. Though the questions remain about the defensive stability, the recent form of keeper Marc-André ter Stegen has been impressive and could prove to be a difference in the El Clasico.
Real Madrid:
Real Madrid, on the other hand, find themselves in the middle of a crisis at the moment. For all the talk of head coach Julian Lopotegui showing his back to the Spain job in the middle of the World Cup, right now he is a man walking alone, with the chopping hanging over his head. However, the Madrid management has confirmed that Lopotegui will definitely be managing the Los Blancos at least in this match.
Last time out, Real eked out a 2-1 win over Viktoria Plzen in Europe and snapped their five-game winless run which started with a 3-0 chastening loss against Sevilla. That run is the reason why Lopotegui is in hot waters at the moment. Also, Real’s accumulation of 14 points from the first 9 games in the worst return in the last 17 years.
Will the Spanish manager survive if Real lose the El Clasico?

BAR vs RM Dream11 FANTASY TEAM:
INDIA FANTASY PREDICTION:
While the pre-match build-up is all about the absence of Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo, the hosts look more balanced to get a good result in this match. However, the form goes out of the window in these kinds of matches and anything could happen at Camp Nou come tomorrow. It could also be the game where Julian Lopotegui saves his job, but looking at that possibility is a far-fetched imagination and we are not going there.
A home win is our prediction. Prediction 3-1
