Barcelona vs Real Madrid prediction: SPAIN: Super Cup betting tips on match 2026-01-10 19:00.
[p]For the fourth successive year, the final of the Supercopa de España will be contested between Barcelona and Real Madrid, with silverware on the line in the season’s second El Clásico. [/p]
[p]Match News and Current Form[/p]
[p]Barcelona come into the final with plenty of momentum on their side, as they thrashed Athletic Club 5-0 in the semi-finals, rattling in four of those goals before half-time. Boss Hansi Flick was understandably thrilled as his side romped to a ninth successive win across all competitions, with the La Liga leaders scoring 2+ goals in each victory. Barça have also now kept five consecutive clean sheets, so despite the high calibre of their opponents here, the Blaugrana appear to hold all the cards as they go in search of what would be a record-extending 16th Supercopa title. [/p]
[p]Real Madrid booked their place in this final with a dogged 2-1 victory over city rivals AtlĂ©tico on Thursday night which, once again, was marred by controversy as Diego Simeone clashed with VinĂcius JĂşnior on the touchline. Los Blancos boss Xabi Alonso believes Simeone “crossed the line”, but it was his side who got over the line with a fifth successive competitive win which gives Alonso the chance to lift his first trophy in charge of the club. As he’s less than a month removed from reportedly being lined up to be sacked, Alonso can ill-afford to oversee a loss here, while victory would move Madrid (13) to within one of Barcelona on the all-time list of Supercopa victories.[/p]
