Super Cup
“El Clasico” will determine the winner of the Spanish Super Cup, again in Saudi Arabia, where exactly a year ago Barcelona defeated Real 5:2. Now the "Catalans" seem to be in top form with a streak of 9 consecutive victories in all competitions. In the semifinal match of this mini tournament, they decisively crushed Athletic Bilbao 5:0. This was also the fifth consecutive clean sheet for the team, which is a significant improvement, as Barca was conceding goals in almost every match until recently.
Real Madrid also seems to have picked up and won their last five matches. They didn’t particularly impress in the semifinal against Atletico, but ultimately outsmarted the " Mattress Makers" with a 2:1 victory. Earlier in the season, they won their home match against Barcelona in La Liga by the same score. The question now is whether Kylian Mbappe will participate in the match, as he was injured recently and his availability is still uncertain.
Prediction: both teams to score, victory for BarcelonaThis time it’s already time for Barcelona to concede a goal. However, they will probably not miss the chance to score as well. I even expect, as they often did throughout the season, to score more than they concede and ultimately win the trophy again. But, as in almost every “El Clasico”, I expect there to be goals.
