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.
When the season started, Real Madrid looked like the strongest team in La Liga and they have been strong but their starting XI doesn't look very strong now due to injuries to several players. Also, although Barcelona's team is not strong, Barcelona is doing well in almost every match of La Liga, for which they have been able to stay at the number one position in the points table. To catch up, Barcelona have played against strong teams, so they don't have to fear that there are teams stronger than them that they can lose points against. From now on, if Barcelona can perform consistently and play according to plan in all matches, they can be La Liga champions this season.
