Before the match
Unlike last year, when the paths of Real Madrid and Barcelona in the Super Cup crossed already at the first, semi-final stage, this time they ended up in different halves of the bracket. This will be the first meeting of the two main Spanish teams in the Super Cup final in the new format. In fact, the tournament is only the fourth time in an expanded format for four participants (champion and vice-champion of La Liga, winner and finalist of the Spanish Cup), and Saudi Arabia hosts all this feast – and in winter, when it is not so hot there.
Under Xavi as the head coach of Barcelona with Real Madrid, the team played three official matches. In the previous Super Cup, Madrid took over in extra time with a score of 3:2, then the Catalans simply rolled the opponent to the Santiago Bernabeu (4:0), but this season the match in Madrid remained with the hosts (3:1). There was also a friendly meeting this summer as part of the American tour, where the Catalans won by a minimal score, but it is hardly worth taking seriously.
On their return to Spain, the teams will certainly continue the fight for the championship, in which Barcelona took the lead thanks to their victory over Atlético and the surprise defeat of the creamy by Villarreal – after 16 rounds of 38 between them three points. But the switch back to La Liga will be in a week, and now another trophy is at stake. By the way, Barça won it 13 times and is the record holder, but Real Madrid got as close as possible, having already won 12 victories (two of them in the new format).
Forecast for the match “Real” – “Barcelona”
During the preparation for the final, Cristiano Ronaldo, who played for them for a long time, who recently moved to the local Al-Nasr, visited the training session of the Madrid team. However, apart from moral support from the Portuguese, Real Madrid cannot boast of anything in recent weeks. All the victories of the “Royal Club” were somehow strained, tortured – even over the modest “Cacereno” in the Spanish Cup. Barcelona are also playing unevenly, but at least they are in order with field goals, while Madrid scored three of their five goals since the World Cup from the penalty spot (Karim Benzema converted all attempts). If only for this reason, the Catalans look a little more preferable, and you can expect them to win the Super Cup and remain its record holders. Perhaps victory will come only in overtime or in a penalty shootout, but it is time to take the first trophy with Xavi on the coaching bridge.
Our predictions for Real Madrid – Barcelona match: Barcelona will become the owner of the Super Cup, the coefficient is 1.85; Barcelona will not lose and the total is over 2.5, the coefficient is 2.75.
