Real Madrid — Barcelona Prediction, H2H and Probable Lineups — 26 October 2025
On October 26, 2025, in Matchday 10 of La Liga, Real Madrid will host Barcelona. The match is scheduled to kick off at 16:15 Central European Time. Let’s take a closer look at the potential outcome of this clash.
Real Madrid
Real Madrid approach this El Clasico in good form. The team have won 4 consecutive matches across all competitions, keeping clean sheets in 3 of them. In their most recent match, they defeated Juventus 1–0 at home in the Champions League. Overall, this marked their 11th victory of the season, with only one defeat so far — a key derby against Atlético Madrid.
Currently, Real Madrid sit at the top of La Liga with 24 points. Their defence is one of the best in the league, having conceded only 9 goals. At home, the team remain unbeaten in their last 6 matches, winning all 6 games this season on their own turf.
Regarding home head-to-head meetings against Barcelona, Real have struggled recently. Last year, they were defeated 0–4 at home by Barcelona.
Barcelona
Barcelona, under Hans Flick, also come into this El Clasico in confident form following a dominant 6–1 victory over Olympiacos in the Champions League. Prior to that, the team experienced a less convincing run with two defeats — first against PSG, then in the Champions League, and a subsequent loss to Sevilla in La Liga — followed by a narrow win over Girona. This emphatic win against Olympiacos was therefore crucial for building momentum ahead of El Clasico.
Currently, Barcelona sit second in La Liga, 2 points behind Real Madrid, having scored 24 goals and conceded 10. Their 24 goals make them the league’s top-scoring team so far. Matches at Barcelona have been particularly high-scoring lately, with the last 6 games seeing over 2.5 goals and both teams finding the net.
