Before El Clasico match, both teams have busy schedule match after international break have one La Liga match and few days later will play in UEFA Champion League match. I think both manager between Hansi Flick and Carlo Ancelotti will make huge rotation for facing most important match because high intention both teams most important winning on El Clasico match than other match.
Currently Barcelona is ranked 1st and Real Madrid is ranked 2nd in the standings. Both teams are in their best form and this makes me really looking forward to this season's el classico. They have a busy schedule and this will determine which coach can rotate players well before the el classico match. Real Madrid wants to get 1st place and Barcelona wants to increase the points difference from Madrid. This derby will be an important match for both teams so I think this game will be very exciting to watch.
El Clasico matches are always interesting to watch, even though El Clasico matches will not affect the competition for the trophy, but will still be exciting and fierce. Moreover, in the first El Clasico of the season, both teams competed tightly for the first position, Real Madrid, which is three points behind Barcelona, certainly does not want to waste this opportunity to overtake Barcelona, and vice versa, Barcelona wants to win this match to be more solid at the top of the standings.
Currently, the squads of both teams are incomplete because both teams have injured players, but Barcelona is more advantaged because their defense line has no problems and the first El Clasico of the season will be played in front of their own supporters, of course this will be an additional strength for Barcelona. While Real Madrid has problems in the back line, the latest because their captain Carvajal is injured, of course this will greatly affect Real Madrid's defense line. So this El Clasico will be interesting to watch and of course we will see surprises from both coaches who can work around the weaknesses of their respective teams to be able to win.
