Supercomputer predicts the outcome of the Real Madrid vs Barcelona match

The Opta supercomputer has offered its analysis and forecast for the El Clasico between Real Madrid and Barcelona in the 10th round of La Liga.

Tomorrow night (October 26, Vietnam time), all eyes will be on Santiago Bernabeu, where Real Madrid will host their fierce rivals Barcelona in the 10th round of La Liga.

With the advantage of playing at home and the passionate support of thousands of fans, Real Madrid is somewhat favored over the Catalan side. This has been confirmed by Opta through predictions based on 10,000 simulated outcomes.

Specifically, Real Madrid has a 45.3% chance of winning, while Barcelona's winning probability is 31.1% and there is a 23.6% likelihood of the match ending in a draw.

However, the head-to-head record between these two giants in La Liga is not significantly different.

According to Opta, although Barcelona won all four encounters against Real Madrid last season, when considering La Liga matches alone, the Royal team currently holds the upper hand in recent head-to-head results.

Los Blancos have won 7 out of the last 11 El Clasico matches in La Liga (losing 4), which equals the total number of wins they achieved in the previous 29 El Clasico games in this league (with 7 draws and 15 losses).

Notably, the last 11 encounters between Real Madrid (7 wins) and Barcelona (4 wins) in La Liga have all produced decisive results with no draws. This is the longest streak of El Clasico matches without a draw in La Liga history since the period from 1977 to 1986, when the two teams had 18 consecutive matches with a winner (Real won 10, Barcelona 8).

Ahead of the upcoming meeting, both Real Madrid and Barcelona are showing stable form.

For Real, after a surprising defeat to city rivals Atletico, coach Xabi Alonso's squad has secured four consecutive wins across all competitions and currently leads La Liga.

The attack is seen as the hope for the "White Vultures" to achieve a favorable result against Barca. Kylian Mbappe is improving steadily, having scored 10 goals in domestic competitions and forming a strong partnership with Arda Guler, an indispensable star under Xabi Alonso. Meanwhile, other players like Vinicius, Jude Bellingham, and Franco Mastantuono are also ready to make an impact, demonstrating the Royal team's diverse goal-scoring options.

On Barcelona's side, the Catalan team is gradually showing the "invincible" spirit they had last season. Blaugrana also possess a well-balanced squad across all lines, with Pedri and De Jong regarded as one of the best midfield duos worldwide right now, capable of controlling tempo and organizing play.

Up front, Lamine Yamal remains the leading figure in attacking moves that lead to goals. On the other side, Marcus Rashford has proven fully capable of replacing Raphinha, who was Barcelona's top scorer last season. The English striker is regaining form under coach Hansi Flick and is ready for his first-ever El Clasico appearance.

Currently, Barcelona sits second in La Liga, two points behind Real Madrid. Therefore, the upcoming clash could decide the title race this season, with Real Madrid eager to reclaim the crown from their biggest rivals.

The match between Real Madrid and Barcelona will take place at 22:15 on October 26.
