Real Madrid take on the visitors Barcelona in the round 10 match of Spanish LaLiga. The match will be played on Sunday, October 26th at Estadio Santiago Bernabéu (Madrid).
Real Madrid are heading toward another trophyless year in 2025 — a situation that can only be described as a failure for a club of their stature. Last season, they were knocked out of the Champions League by Arsenal and consistently lost to their Catalan rivals under Ancelotti. This summer, they fell short again, losing to PSG at the Club World Cup under Xabi Alonso. Still, in the new campaign, Real have been mostly dominant, showing near-perfect results in both La Liga and Europe. Their only major setback came in the derby against Atlético, which ended in a painful 2-5 defeat. However, they bounced back quickly with a confident win over Getafe and a narrow victory against Juventus in the Champions League. Real have shown improved defensive discipline in recent matches, but questions remain about their ability to handle high-pressure games. Their home form, however, remains one of the strongest in Europe.

Barcelona continue to divide opinion. Blaugrana endured their trophyless campaign back in 2023/24 under Xavi, but Flick’s arrival completely transformed the side. Despite having no prior experience in Spanish football, he led Barça to a domestic treble — winning the Supercopa, La Liga, and Copa del Rey. Yet, their Champions League exit to Inter was a major disappointment for fans expecting a deep run. Now, things look more complicated again, as financial and stadium issues persist and inconsistency creeps into their performances. The team’s recent slump, including a heavy 1-4 defeat in Seville and a poor showing against PSG, highlighted their defensive fragility. Still, the dramatic last-minute win over Girona and a big Champions League victory against Olympiacos suggest the team hasn’t lost its competitive spirit. Flick’s Barcelona remain dangerous going forward, but they struggle to control games for the full 90 minutes. If they don’t fix that, their title defense could quickly unravel.
Flick has been outstanding in El Clásico so far, winning three of the four games in regular time and securing a 3-2 extra-time victory in the Copa del Rey thanks to Koundé’s goal in the 116th minute. Real Madrid are slightly favored for revenge this time, but both teams are far stronger in attack than defense. The best option here seems to be over 3.5 total goals.
Prediction for the match: Over 3.5 scored goals.
