Approximately around two weeks from now and we'll witness a match most anticipated, Real Madrid vs FC Barcelona and its totally a different El Clasico that we will witness. There's a lot of changes with both of these squads which makes the El Clasico uncertain.
Despite the fact that the match will be held in Camp Nou, the uncertainty level is still very high. It's difficult to confidently predict who will prevail. I'd like to cite the reasons :
1. Real Madrid's Change of Coaches
After Zidane's departure last June 2018, coaches like Julen Lopetegui and Santiago Solari were being appointed. Among their succession, Real Madrid was unfortunate to lift important trophies which forced them to bring back the three-time UEFA Champions League winning coach Zidane. Still it's Zidane in the end, but the drastic changes in a span of two years will definitely be a factor.
2. Ronaldo Out, new Forwards are Coming
After Ronaldo's departure, it was a tragedy for Madrid and so new forwards are coming in to fill the gap. Vinicius Jr and Eden Hazard are coming. The two will be other options aside from the long-time forwards Gareth Bale, Karim Benzema, and James Rodriguez.
They will battling into position and will definitely bring strategic issues for Barcelona. Eden Hazard is an exciting player that everyone is expecting.
3. New Midfielders Coming for Barcelona
With the addition of Frankie de Jong and Arthur, I believe it will also be a huge adjustment for Barcelona. They've been used to Xavi and Iniesta and I think it will also be another aspect that Madrid needs to consider.
This will also be a good showcase for these two midfielders. Will Barcelona finally found new maestros in the midfield?
4. Griezmann Mania
I believe Antoine Griezmann will provide a new spice for Barcelona's attack. He's arrival from Atletico Madrid bring forwards of the Catalans more deadly as the three strikers Messi-Suarez-Griezmann are both in their form. Messi is back and the chemistry will definitely be not a problem for the three.
There's still a lot more and I guess its gonna be an entertaining night.

That's a big factor. Barcelona at home is usually really very strong.
It is really going to be an interesting game and i think it is really hard now to give it to Barcelona or Real Madrid.
Really interesting for sure. As a die hard Barcelona fan, its difficult really to decide who will come out victorious. Real Madrid has loads of talented forwards.
Barcelona will win no doubts about that but i don't think it will be because they are spectacular or whatever.
I think the win will be because Real Madrid have not found their footing. They are still swaying and have not fully recovered from the loss of Ronaldo.
Totally agree with your sentiments. It seems like there's still "Ronaldo effect" going on with Madrid. Probably because of the style of play they have for a couple of years.
