There will be no favorite team in El Clasico later because both teams are still in the same condition in terms of performance. Real Madrid, although considered to have a great squad since the arrival of Mbappe, currently Ancelotti has not found the right formula, coupled with player injuries. Likewise with Barcelona, although this El Clasico is played in front of its own supporters, this does not guarantee that Barcelona will win because so far Barcelona has not proven strong when facing strong teams below it, plus many players are injured. So it is likely that the first El Clasico this season will end in a draw.
Two strong candidates for the La Liga title will meet.
It is difficult to guess which team will win because both have opportunities and strengths that are superior to the average of other teams,
Barcelona is on fire under Hansi Flick, Real Madrid is filled with star players, so can't wait to see them perform on the field later. I will focus on the match instead of choosing one team to be a favorite without caring about the final result.
