Barcelona to host Real Madrid at Spotify Camp Nou in LaLiga clash on October 25, 2026

Barcelona will host Real Madrid at Spotify Camp Nou on Sunday, October 25, 2026, in a LaLiga fixture scheduled for 9:00 pm CET. Both sides arrive after midweek European assignments.

Barcelona enter the match having won all nine of their league games prior to this fixture, with Raphinha leading their attack on 12 league goals. Lamine Yamal has provided an additional creative threat from the right flank, registering 14 goal contributions in nine league appearances and both scoring and assisting in Barcelona’s 5-2 win over Real Betis on October 17.

Real Madrid have taken seven victories from nine LaLiga matches and rely on Kylian Mbappé, who has nine league goals, as a focal point of their forward play; Vinícius Júnior is suspended and unavailable. Jude Bellingham has contributed six goal involvements in nine league appearances and supplied an assist in Real Madrid’s 4-1 win over Sevilla on October 18, while Arda Güler is also listed among Madrid’s attacking options.

Both clubs were active in Europe during the week: Barcelona lost 4-2 away to Paris Saint-Germain, and Real Madrid defeated RB Leipzig 4-1.

Availability concerns affect both squads: Barcelona are expected to be without Eric García and Andreas Christensen due to thigh injuries, Dani Olmo is sidelined with a thigh problem, Roony Bardghji is recovering from a cruciate ligament injury, and Jules Koundé is unavailable with an ankle injury according to FotMob. Real Madrid will be without Vinícius Júnior through suspension, with Rodrygo and Raúl Asencio sidelined by injury and Ferland Mendy recovering from a ligament injury.

Predicted lineups published for the clash list Joan García; João Cancelo, Pau Cubarsí, Gerard Martín, Xavi Espart; Rodri, Pedri; Lamine Yamal, Fermín López, Karim Adeyemi; Gabriel Jesus for Barcelona, and Thibaut Courtois; Federico Valverde, Ibrahima Konaté, Dean Huijsen, Marc Cucurella; Aurélien Tchouaméni, Arda Güler; Endrick, Jude Bellingham, Yan Diomande; Kylian Mbappé for Real Madrid. Broadcast arrangements cited include US coverage on Fubo Sports, ESPN Deportes, ABC, ESPN Unlimited and ESPN Select, and UK coverage on Premier Sports Player, Premier Sports 1 UK and LaLigaTV.

Barcelona’s perfect league record and home advantage give them a strong platform, but defensive absences could open opportunities for Mbappé and Real Madrid’s attackers; Real Madrid possess the quality to score while Barcelona’s recent domestic form remains influential. Prediction: Barcelona 2-2 Real Madrid. The match is scheduled for Sunday, October 25, 2026, at 9:00 pm CET at Spotify Camp Nou in Barcelona.
