Real Madrid will play FC Barcelona on Saturday in La Liga
Real Madrid are set to play FC Barcelona on Saturday in La Liga. Both teams will be looking for three points.

Kick-off : 1:00 PM (Local)

Venue : Santiago Bernabeu, Madrid

It’s time for the El Clasico and we can’t wait to see the two Spanish giants in action. The game should see goals in it as it has been over 30 years since the last 0-0 draw at the Bernabeu in a Clasico.

At the moment, Barcelona are leading the points table with 42 points from 16 games. But they know they need to keep winning games.

Barcelona defeated Deportivo 4-0 last week and will be confident ahead of the Real Madrid game. They have played beautifully thus far this season in La Liga.

On the other hand, Real Madrid are on just 31 points from 15 games and trail Barca by 11 points. They know they need to keep winning games as well.

Los Blancos last weekend won the Club World Cup and will be in a positive frame of mind ahead of the El Clasico.

So far Barcelona and Real Madrid have played each other 235 times. Out of that Real Madrid have won 95 times while Barca have won 91 times, 49 other games have been a draw.


Team news and possible line-ups

Zinedine Zidane have a fully fit squad to choose from for the El Clasico. While Gareth bale is available and might play in place of Isco.

As for Barcelona, Gerard Deulofeu will not be available as due to injury. While Samuel Umtiti, Paco Alcacer and Rafinha remain sidelined.

Real Madrid XI : Navas, Carvajal, Varane, Ramos, Marcelo, Casemiro, Kroos, Modric, Isco, Benzema, Ronaldo.

Barcelona XI : Ter Stegen, Roberto, Pique, Vermaelen, Alba, Rakitic, Iniesta, Busquets, Paulinho, Suarez, Messi.

Prediction

I think it will be a closely contested game between two of world’s biggest clubs. May the best team on the night win. Although Real Madrid are ahead on the head to head, also they have the home advantage.
