Another Clásico is upon us, with the two biggest football clubs in Spain vying to win another trophy. Here are predictions, team news, betting tips, and possible line-ups for the game.
The final is scheduled for a 7 pm GMT kick-off time on Sunday at the King Abdullah Stadium in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia.
This marks the second El Clásico of the season. The last meeting in October was a night to forget for Los Blancos, as Barcelona ran riot in the second half, smashing four goals past them to claim a dominant 4-0 victory.
Real Madrid vs. Barcelona Head to Head
Los Blancos are the reigning Spanish Super Cup champions, having claimed the trophy 13 times, including last year’s emphatic 4-1 win over Barcelona in the final.
A victory on Sunday night would see Los Blancos draw level with their Clásico rivals on 14 Super Cup titles.
However, Barcelona got the better of Real in the 2023 final with a commanding 3-1 victory.
While Madrid have won four of the last five meetings between the sides across all competitions, Barcelona pulled off a stunning 4-0 triumph at the Bernabeu in their La Liga clash last October.
Real Madrid vs. Barcelona Team News and Possible Lineups
Los Blancos will be without Eder Militao and Dani Carvajal due to injuries, but David Alaba makes a welcome return to the squad.
Vinicius Junior is also available for selection despite facing an upcoming two-match suspension in La Liga.
Meanwhile, Aurelien Tchouameni, who was forced off against Mallorca, remains a doubt and will undergo further assessment.
Barcelona are set to miss Marc Bernal, Marc-André Ter Stegen, Hector Fort, and Andreas Christensen for this encounter.
However, Dani Olmo and Pau Victor are eligible to feature after receiving temporary registration.
