""My prediction is: goals, as I can't see Barcelona changing how they play," Lineker told The Athletic. "Barca play a really high-risk, high-reward game, with their high line. They don't even tend to drop when they don't have pressure on the ball. "They back themselves to score more than the opposition. And Real Madrid have that danger on the counter-attack with the pace of Vinicius and Mbappe. So I can't envisage it being a low-scoring affair. "If Lamine Yamal is fit, Barcelona have a real chance. I'll go: 4-3 to Barca.""

Barcelona operate with a high defensive line and a high-risk, high-reward attacking approach, often not dropping back when they lack pressure on the ball. The team relies on outscoring opponents rather than conservative defending. Real Madrid present significant counter-attacking threat through the pace of Vinicius and Mbappé. Lamine Yamal's fitness would enhance Barcelona's attacking options. The match at the Santiago Bernabéu typically produces many goals. Barcelona have scored in 48 consecutive matches across all competitions, reinforcing expectations of an open, high-scoring El Clasico with a close margin, forecast at 4-3 to Barcelona.
