Prediction for the match between Real Madrid and Barcelona, which will take place on January 15. Check the team conditions and choose several betting options.

The Madrid side made it to the Spanish Super Cup final with great difficulty, thanks to a penalty shootout. Although during the meeting against Valencia, they were the first to take the lead, Benzema converted an 11-meter penalty in the 39th minute. But at the beginning of the second half, Lino restored the status quo with a pass from Lato and kept the score 1:1 until the end of regular and extra time. Real had the initiative throughout the game, with six shots on goal.

In the second semifinal of the Super Cup of Spain against Betis, the Catalans also had to kick a series of 11-meter kicks. The main time they ended in a 1:1 draw. In extra time, the teams exchanged goals once more. Fati scored for Barcelona and Loren for Sevilla. Lewandowski, Kessi, Fati, and Pedri converted penalties in Barcelona. As for statistics: Barcelona possessed the ball 61% of the game time, 12 attempts were made towards the goal, and six times on goal.

The semifinals were not very productive, at least during regular time. Should we expect high efficiency in the finals? We think we should. Both the recent high-scoring stats of the classic Spanish encounter and the fact that the upcoming game will be held in Saudi Arabia hint at this. After all, this game is an Asian advertisement for La Liga in general and the Spanish giants in particular. As for the outcome, we will not be surprised by another draw, extra time, and a penalty shootout.
