(Dan Tri) - The El Clasico match between Real Madrid and Barcelona promises to be extremely fierce. The match between Real Madrid and Barcelona in round 11 of La Liga will take place at 02:00 on October 27 at Camp Nou stadium.
It's been a long time since El Clasico has been so anticipated. In recent years, Real Madrid have dominated this fixture, winning four consecutive matches against Barcelona. However, this season, Los Blaugrana have risen under coach Hansi Flick. They are leading La Liga with 27 points, three more than Real Madrid.

In the middle of last week in the Champions League, Real Madrid crushed Dortmund with a score of 5-2, while Barcelona also won Bayern Munich with a score of 4-1. That helped both teams have great spirit before the battle at Bernabeu tonight.
According to the prediction of the supercomputer Opta, Real Madrid still has a higher chance of winning with 45.6%. The possibility of Barcelona winning is 31%. The possibility of the match ending in a draw is 22.5%.
Real Madrid and coach Ancelotti are facing a historic opportunity. They only need to avoid defeat against Barcelona to equal the longest unbeaten streak in La Liga history, set by Barcelona under coach Ernesto Valverde (from April 2017 to May 2018) with 43 matches (34 wins, 9 draws).

The last time Real Madrid suffered a defeat in La Liga was on September 25, 2023 against Atletico Madrid. Since then, Los Blancos have gone 42 consecutive matches without a loss in this tournament (W31, D11).
Notably, in the next round, Real Madrid will only face bottom team Valencia. Therefore, as long as they do not lose to Barcelona, they have a great chance to break this great record.
Vinicius Junior, who just scored a hat-trick against Dortmund in the Champions League, has a very good relationship with Barcelona. This player has participated in 7 goals in the last 4 El Clasico matches (5 goals and 2 assists). In total, the Brazilian striker has scored 7 goals in 17 matches against Barcelona. This is the opponent that Vinicius has scored the second most goals in his career, only behind Valencia (8 goals).
Meanwhile, coach Hansi Flick has helped Barcelona win 9/10 matches in La Liga this season. They only had one "flaw" which was a 2-4 defeat to Osasuna. After a 5-0 victory over Sevilla in the previous round, Barcelona scored 33 goals in 10 matches, only Real Madrid under coach Zidane scored more goals after the first 10 matches in La Liga in the 21st century (34 goals).

In the top 5 European national championships, there are 9 players who have contributed to 10 goals or more. Of these, Barcelona alone has 3 players: Robert Lewandowski (12 goals, 2 assists), Lamine Yamal (4 goals, 6 assists) and Raphinha (5 goals, 5 assists).
Only three players have scored five goals and provided five or more assists this season. In addition to Barcelona's Raphinha, there are Mohamed Salah (five goals, five assists for Liverpool), Cole Palmer (six goals, five assists for Chelsea).
Barcelona have an incredibly young squad. The average age of the team that played against Bayern Munich was just 24 years and 185 days. This is the club's youngest Champions League squad since the match against BATE Borisov in 2011 (23 years and 93 days).
Coach Hansi Flick is facing a difficult jinx. The last five Barcelona coaches – Xavi, Ronald Koeman, Quique Setién, Valverde and Luis Enrique – all lost their first Clasico in charge of Barcelona. The last to win his first Clasico was Gerardo Martino, who beat Real Madrid 2-1 in 2013.
Lamine Yamal is of course expected to make a big difference for Barcelona. The Euro 2024 winner has already provided six assists in 10 games, making him the Blaugrana's top goal-maker since Lionel Messi in the 2014/15 season (seven). On Real Madrid's side, Jude Bellingham is expected. The Englishman has scored in two consecutive El Clasicos.
