Super Cup
Atletico Madrid showed some stabilization, but in the last round, they only managed a 1:1 draw against Real Sociedad. Once again, they failed to keep a clean sheet and couldn't hold onto their lead, which has often happened this season, especially away from home. At least Simeone has no significant absences for the upcoming match, except for Lenglet, who will miss another game. I can't help but recall the meeting between the two teams earlier in the season in La Liga, where Atletico crushed Real 5:2 at home.
Real Madrid seems to have woken up and won their last four matches. Over the weekend, they defeated Betis 5:1 at home in the absence of Kylian Mbappe. He will not participate again this time. This allowed young Gonzalo Garcia to shine with a hat-trick. He will look to adequately replace Real's top scorer, supported by his teammates once again.
Prediction: Both teams to score: YESAtletico is unlikely to score five goals against Real in this match, but they definitely look capable of netting at least one goal. The same goes for Real against the recently unstable Atletico defense. Moreover, both teams have scored in 11 of the last 12 matches between them.
