Real Madrid team news
Miraculously, Real Madrid came out of the gruelling encounter against Man City in midweek relatively unharmed. Perhaps the only concern for Real Madrid is Vinicius Junior, who was subbed off very late into the tie. However, it didn't look like anything to be concerned about from the naked eye.
Aurelien Tchouameni will return from the suspension which he served in midweek, a great boost for Real Madrid to have a fresh player in this upcoming bragging rights tie.
Thibaut Courtois and David Alaba remain injured as they are not expected to be back for at least this tie.
Barcelona team news
Barcelona are similar to their El Clasico rivals with the respect of players returning from suspension. For the visiting side, Andreas Christensen and Serio Roberto will return to contention under Xavi. Barca also have two players ruled out as long-term absentees in Gavi and Alejandro Balde, as per Standard.

Real Madrid vs Barcelona prediction
It is still all to play for in La Liga. Of course, Real Madrid have a healthy advantage but should Barcelona snatch a result, it could become much more tense. With that said, I expect Carlo Ancelotti to go all-out to. win this match, doing everything in his power to make the remainder of the season comfortable. I will go with Real Madrid 3-1 Barcelona.
