Barcelona have won 14 Supercopa de Espana trophies. The Blaugrana are seeking a 15th trophy against Real Madrid.
Will our score prediction forecast a win for Barcelona over their great rival?
Real Madrid will meet Barcelona in an El Clasico in the trophy final. Both teams played a semifinal to reach the final match. The Supercopa de Espana is the first trophy to be played for in the top flight of Spanish football this season.
Los Blancos are aiming to win their 14th Supercopa trophy. A win would tie Real Madrid with Barcelona for the most trophies in the competition. Real Madrid last won the trophy in 2023 and Barcelona picked it up in 2024.
Carlo Ancelotti’s Madrid defeated Mallorca 3-0 to reach the final. The scoreline flattered Madrid slightly.
Jude Bellingham opened the scoring in the 63rd minute, but Madrid didn’t find the back of the net again until the 92nd minute courtesy of an own goal. Los Blancos scored again in the 95th minute thanks to a goal from Rodrygo.
Barcelona defeated long-time rivals Athletic Bilbao in their semifinal. Gavi and Yamal Lamine scored on either side of halftime. Barcelona had few issues with putting Athletic Bilbao away.
Madrid are in good form ahead of the final. They went unbeaten in their last four La Liga games, winning three times and drawing once.
Barcelona, on the other hand, did not go into the Supercopa de Espana in good form. They failed to win their last three games, losing twice and drawing once.
The Blaugrana are La Liga’s top scorers with 51 goals. However, before heading to the Supercopa, Barcelona scored just one time in two matches.
Robert Lewandowski has scored 16 La Liga goals. Teammate Raphinha has added 11 goals. Madrid’s Kylian Mbappe has tallied 10 goals. Vinicius Junior has bagged eight goals. Four of La Liga’s top-five goal scorers will feature in the Supercopa de Espana final.
The final will be the second El Clasico of the season for these rivals. The previous meeting saw Barcelona embarrass Madrid at the Santiago Bernabeu 4-0. Lewandowski scored twice before Yamal and Raphinha got on the scoresheet. All four goals came in the second half.
Although Barcelona defeated Athletic Bilbao in the semifinal, they will face off with an in-form Real Madrid. Barcelona were on a bad run of form prior to the Supercopa mini-tournament.
Our score prediction is for Real Madrid to win 2-1 in a close match in the final. The win will see Madrid match Barcelona’s 14 Supercopa de Espana trophies.
