Barcelona and Real Madrid meet in the first El Clasico of the 2023/24 season as Carlo Ancelotti's side head to Catalonia on October 28.

The eternal rivalry between the two superpowers of Spanish football continues to make these clashes hugely important within the context of the La Liga title race.

Xavi secured his first league title as Barcelona boss at the end of last season to block Ancelotti's trophy defence, but the visitors make the trip north as the current table toppers in Spain.

The Sporting News takes a look at what time the match will kick off around the world including the United Kingdom and the USA.

Barcelona vs Real Madrid prediction, odds

Both teams are enjoying strong starts to the La Liga campaign, with Barcelona still unbeaten in domestic action, and Real Madrid losing just one league game.

Barcelona won at home against Real Madrid last season, in their first home league El Clasico win since 2018, but this contest looks too close to call as another three points for Xavi.

Prediction: Barcelona 1-1 Real Madrid
