Barcelona squad updates and injuries
The Catalans will most likely play without star midfielders Pedri and Frenkie de Jong. As such, Franck Kessie or Sergi Roberto will likely join Sergio Busquets and Gavi in the middle.
Meanwhile, Ansu Fati could feature down the left following a positive performance against Elche. Raphinha will make a comeback after missing out on last weekend’s win due to a suspension. Ousmane Dembele and Andreas Christensen will continue to remain out on injuries.

Formation: (4-3-3)
GK: Ter Stegen
Defenders: Araujo, Kounde, Alonso, Balde
Midfielders: Busquets, Gavi, Roberto
Forward: Raphinha, Lewandowski, Fati
Real Madrid squad updates and injuries
Carlo Ancelotti are currently in a tough spot following a couple of injury concerns particularly in defence. Following a recent return from a hamstring injury, Ferland Mendy picked up another injury after suffering a calf issue.
Antonio Rudiger also did not feature in the squad during last weekend’s win against Real Valladolid. However, as for him, Ancelotti believes the German international should be fit to start on Wednesday despite his knee injury.
Real Madrid predicted lineup
Barcelona clearly dominated Real for the majority of the recent El Clasico. As such, Ancelotti will likely change tactics and potentially deploy a 4-4-2 instead of his usual 4-3-3.
Given below is the predicted Real Madrid
Formation: (4-4-2)
GK: Courtois
Defenders: Carvajal, Militão, Rudiger, Alaba
Midfielders: Valverde, Modric, Camavinga, Vinicius
Forwards: Benzema, Rodrygo.
Barcelona vs Real Madrid score prediction
The upcoming clash between Xavi and Ancelotti’s men will be a close and exciting one with both teams looking for nothing short of a win. Real Madrid are in fine form after thrashing Valladolid in the weekend where Karim Benzema bagged a first-half hat trick.
Meanwhile, Barcelona dominated Madrid in their recent Camp Nou meeting. Ancelotti will likely bring a approach in the upcoming game following the loss. However, they will have a tough time overturning a goal deficit against a strong Barça side. Despite this, Real Madrid certainly have the talent and skills to do so.
Ancelotti could bring a new approach, which would be enough to register a win over their Catalan rivals and set up a tense penalty shootout.
Score prediction: Barcelona 1-2 Real Madrid (Real to win on penalties)
