Real Madrid
Real fans are very happy after their team defeated “Barcelona” with a score of 2-1 in the first El Clasico of the season and signed new contracts with Vinicius Junior and Rodrigo. Moreover, it was a delight to see Jude Bellingham winning the Copa trophy. The victory in the derby allowed them to pull away from their main competitor, “Barcelona,” by four points. However, before this round, they still have to deal with “Girona,” which currently tops the La Liga table. After the midweek break, “Los Blancos” should be fully refreshed for the visit of their neighbors from “Rayo Vallecano.” However, coach Carlo Ancelotti will make at least one substitution after Orelene Tchouameni suffered a fractured foot in the match against “Barcelona.” Since his team hasn’t lost in nine home matches of the championship and has won the last 12 home head-to-head duels, there may still be a temptation to give some of his big stars a break before returning to Europe. Out of the game today are Tchouameni, Militao, Courtois, Ceballos, Gulher, and Mendy.

Rayo Vallecano
Rayo Vallecano will pose a threat to the favorite since, since they lost 10-2 here in 2015, the “giants” have lost each of their last three visits by a one-goal margin, and last year they even defeated “Real” with a score of 3-2 at their home ground. They also have an eight-match unbeaten streak, including a confidence-boosting 6-0 victory in the Copa del Rey in the middle of the week, which is an attempt to go eight La Liga games without a loss. Furthermore, there is a chance to make a breakthrough into the top six of La Liga for the first time in history. A victory here would still be a huge shock since they last won at the Santiago Bernabeu in January 1996 in a game where two goals were scored in the first four minutes.
