Real Madrid vs Barcelona Preview, prediction, lineups, betting tips & odds | LaLiga 2025-26

The Blaugrana outplayed Los Blancos four times last season!

Real Madrid are will now go head-to-head against FC Barcelona in what is going to the matchweek 10 fixture of the LaLiga 2025-26 season. This intense El Clásico is scheduled to take place at the Estadio Santiago Bernabeu.

Los Blancos will be at home, but it is not going to make things any easier for them. The Xabi Alonso-led side have recently faced issues all over the field due to a lack of leadership in the team. For their upcoming fixture, Real Madrid will be looking to come up with a top performance if they want to outplay their opponents.

Despite being away from home, Barcelona will feel confident coming into their next LaLiga clash. They easily defeated Real Madrid four times last time and will be looking to come up with a similar performance this time around as well. The Hansi Flick-led side are ready to secure another win, but it is not going to be an easy fixture for them either.

Lamine Yamal (Barcelona)

Hansi Flick trusts the youngster and is confident that he will perform well in the upcoming El Clásico. In five LaLiga matches this season, Lamine Yamal has six goal contributions.
