Simon Dalton presents his prediction for the Spanish Super Cup match.
Real Madrid
Real would like to strike back in this game. The side has lost only one game in the current La Liga season. It was the game versus Atlético (1:3). That was an away game for Real Madrid and they quickly conceded two goals. Besides, Real have usually beat Atlético easily in cup games, winning 8 out of the 12 matchers, finals excluded.
Atlético Madrid
Atlético have won only 4 out of the last 11 away games, and 3 of them have been played against outsiders, namely Lugo (3:1), Celta (3:0) and Osasuna (2:0). The side can’t boast results in the games against top teams. For example, they suffered a defeat from Girona (3:4) in the previous round. They also lost the game versus Barcelona (0:1) in the beginning of December.
Real Madrid – Atlético Madrid prediction
This is going to be an away game for both sides ass it’s hosted by Saudi Arabia. However, it can be a decisive thing for Atlético. In the Spanish league, they have taken only 26% of the points, playing outside Madrid. Besides, players are recovering from injuries in Real Madrid. Vinicius and Ferland Mendy have already recovered.
I believe that 90 minutes should be enough for Real Madrid to advance to the final.
