Barcelona hosts Real Madrid in round 10 of Spanish LaLiga 2. The match will be played on Sunday, October 24th at Camp Nou (Barcelona)
As we have already said more than once, Barcelona is going through hard times right now. The game crisis and problems have not gone away. In the Champions League group stage, the Catalans lost 0-6 to Benfica and Bayern Munich and gained a minimal home victory over Dynamo Kyiv in the last round (1-0). As for the Spanish championship, Barcelona is only in 7th place in the standings, and the gap to the leading Real Sociedad already totals five points. In early October, Atletico Madrid beat the Catalans with a 2-0 score. Last weekend Valencia opened the scoring at Camp Nou, but the hosts braced themselves and gained a comeback 3-1 victory. The fate of Ronald Koeman is in doubt, but it is not about the coach but the selection of players and the internal problems of the club.

Although Real Madrid is in second place in the Spanish LaLiga standings, it does not show quality football at a stable level. In some matches, the fans admire both the team and the game of Karim Benzema, but some segments present unpleasant surprises. The Whites sensationally lost to Sheriff Tiraspol in the Champions League and couldn’t win two consecutive matches in the Spanish championship. The charges of Carlo Ancelotti tied against Villarreal (0-0) and lost to Espanyol (2-1). The Madrid team has potential, but it has not yet been unlocked. However, the last Champions League match significantly improved the mood of the Whites. They confidently dealt with Shakhtar Donetsk in Kyiv (0-5) and are approaching El Classico with great motivation.
Barcelona played against Valencia last weekend and faced Dynamo Kyiv in the midweek. Real Madrid, in turn, missed the previous round and had more days to recover, rest, and train. The Catalans are in a deep crisis, show unstable results, and lose points where they shouldn't. Real Madrid is the most productive team in the Spanish championship. The Whites scored 22 goals. The top scorer of La Liga is Karim Benzema. The Frenchman currently has nine goals and seven assists. In addition, Galacticos have an advantage in head-to-head confrontations. They have won three last head-to-head matches, sending an average of two goals per game to the opponents' net. We think the visitors will at least not lose.
Prediction for the match: Real Madrid to win with +0.5 handicap
