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.
I think Madrid are having a tough time with injuries, to say that they are at their best is a bit of an exaggeration. You may have seen some of the games Madrid have played and it hasn't been very satisfying, Ancelotti is still looking for a way to find a match in fielding 3 strikers, 2 of which prefer the left position. Madrid goal productivity has been minimal, whereas Barcelona have been more prolific in terms of goals this early in the season, both in La Liga and the Champions League. So what needs to be confirmed in the first El Clasico is the condition of Madrid players, especially the main squad. Based on data on
transfermarkt Courtois, Lunin, Militao and Vinicius will be available 1 week before against Barcelona.
