The erratic condition of Madrid is one thing that i feel will be a challenge to them as Barcelona isn't in that much of a struggling situation and most disturbing is with their defense in which they just lost a key main stay defender who has been of great relevance to them and now they have the need to scout a replacement which i don't think they are getting before this fixture so its a really huge challenge for them against Barcelona who is ready to make sure they everything possible to win this games as they have been on the loosing side in the last season, i would have said a draw is possible but in the last season we have not seen both team draw so maybe it would be one of those times.
There are several reasons for Real Madrid's erratic performance. Firstly, Ancelotti has yet to form his best XI. Several key players in Real Madrid's squad faced injuries in almost every match. And this is why Ancelotti had to change his match strategy and formation several times. And this is why Real Madrid's performance was somewhat erratic. I found Real Madrid's performance to be a bit poor, especially in away matches.
Apart from the injury problem, another problem for Madrid is that Mbappe is yet to fit in well with this team. Mbappe scored 5 goals in 8 appearances. But all three were from penalty chances. If Mbappe plays well, Madrid's performance will naturally be stronger.
Considering the overall condition so far this season, the Barcelona team can be said to be strong. However, the Real Madrid team is more experienced. So undoubtedly both the teams will play with the aim of winning. Looking forward to an exciting match.
