Solid performance on both offense and defense: Judging from recent games, Real Madrid has shown strong strength on both offense and defense. On the offensive end, in addition to the continuous output of core players Mbappe and Bellingham, the assists of young player Guler are also impressive. Defensively, goalkeeper Courtois made great saves in key battles to keep the goal.

Key players' recovery: Bellingham's return is crucial to the team. He not only scored the winning goal against Juventus, but also played the entire game. After the game, he also said that he had "found a rhythm." In addition, although Vinicius is slightly worse at scoring goals (hitting the goalpost), his breakthrough on the wing and ability to draw fouls are still important weapons for the team to break the deadlock.

Serious injuries: Barcelona currently has serious injury problems, especially on the offensive line. Many important attackers such as Lewandowski, Rafinha, and Ferran Torres have been exempted from the game due to injuries. The good news is that Ferran Torres has returned to the team's roster, but Christensen is absent due to illness.

Comprehensive data analysis:

At present, both teams have returned with a big victory in the Champions League in midweek, and they will basically treat it attentively in the league. Considering that the organization gave Real Madrid a -0.25 goal index concession at home, it is still quite satisfactory. However, the current Barcelona team currently seems exhausted. The pace of the game is slow, and the power of the high-position press in the past has also been greatly reduced. This makes it easy for the defense to expose gaps, making it very difficult to face counterattacks. It is basically very difficult to counterattack against a strong team like Real Madrid. Due to the sufficient support, we might as well be optimistic about Real Madrid winning at home.
