Real Madrid and Barcelona lock horns at King Abdullah Sports City on Sunday in the Spanish Super Cup Final. This storied El Clasico will determine whether Real Madrid will match Barcelona's record of 14 titles or if the Blaugrana extend their tally to 15.

🤍Real Madrid Seek Third Trophy This Season | Home Win = 2.45💵

Los Blancos are in superb form, riding a five-game winning streak across all competitions, including a 3-0 triumph over Mallorca in the semi-final. Jude Bellingham was instrumental, scoring the opener, with Rodrygo sealing the victory late.

Carlo Ancelotti’s side has already secured the UEFA Super Cup and FIFA Intercontinental Cup this season, and they are now chasing their third trophy of the season here.

Victory in this game would see Real Madrid not only equal their rivals Spanish Super Cup wins but will also see them avenge the 4-0 thumping they suffered at the hands of Barca in Laliga earlier this season.

🔴Barcelona Eye Second Straight El Clasico Win| Away Win = 2.68💵

Barcelona entered the Supercopa in unconvincing form but showed flashes of brilliance in their 2-0 win over Athletic Bilbao. Gavi and Lamine Yamal provided the goals in a controlled display that secured their place in the final.

The Blaugrana are La Liga’s top scorers with 51 goals, but their recent slump of two losses and a draw before the Supercopa raises concerns, ones they would love to put to bed in style and what better way to do it than beating Real Madrid for the second time this season.

However, it is precisely because of that, and the fact that a trophy will be at stake, is why it won’t be easy for Hansi Flick’s side, as Real Madrid would want revenge for the first defeat.

🗝️Key Players & Team News📰:

Real Madrid will assess injuries to Luka Modrić, Aurelien Tchouameni, and Federico Valverde. Jude Bellingham is expected to shake off minor issues to start. Long-term absentees include Dani Carvajal and Eder Militao, while David Alaba is still recovering.

Barcelona will miss Marc-Andre ter Stegen and Andreas Christensen, but Dani Olmo and Pau Victor return. Yamal is fit to start, and Wojciech Szczesny is likely to continue in goal, with Lewandowski spearheading the attack.

🔢Match Stats & Betting Odds | Draw = 4.04💵

Real Madrid have beaten Barca in 4 of their last 5 meetings in competitive games including last season's Spanish Super Cup final (4-1). | Specials Market: Home/Draw & Over 2.5 = 2.28

If friendly games are counted, Barcelona have beaten Real Madrid in all their last two meetings. 2-1 in the preseason and 4-0 in the only meeting this season in the league. | Specials Market: Draw/Away & Over 2.5 = 2.44

🔚Conclusion🔚:

This Spanish Super Cup Final promises high stakes, tactical intrigue, and El Clasico drama. Both teams are capable of brilliance, but Real Madrid’s current form and depth give them a slight edge over a Barcelona side seeking to recapture their swagger.

Two of the FA Cup’s most successful clubs, Arsenal and Manchester United, square off in a blockbuster third-round encounter at the Emirates on Sunday. 

The Gunners, with 14 titles, host the defending champions, who boast 13 triumphs, in a match rich in history and stakes.

🔴Arsenal Seek FA Cup Revival at Home | Home Win = 1.75💵

Arsenal comes into this fixture on the back of a disappointing 2-0 defeat to Newcastle in the EFL Cup in a game that saw the Gunners lose for the first since their defeat to Inter Milan in the UCL, 15 games ago.

That slip aside, the Gunners remain a force at the Emirates, where they were unbeaten in their last 20 games there in all competitions, a run going back to last season.

Mikel Arteta’s side will look to put that Newcastle result behind them quickly and try to rediscover the form that made them so formidable at home where they beat Manchester United themselves in the EPL 2-0.

🔵Man United Aim to Get Sweet Revenge on Arsenal | Away Win = 5.35💵

Manchester United come into this contest following a morale-boosting 2-2 draw at Anfield, in a game everyone all but ruled them out, and with their morale so high, one can expect them to try and ride on that wave to try and avenge their 2-0 defeat at the hands of Arsenal in the league.

Although United’s recent form is concerning, with no wins in their last five games. The Red Devils’ FA Cup credentials remain strong, however, having won their last six matches in the competition, including their 2023 triumph.

Ruben Amorim’s men have struggled defensively, conceding at least two goals in each of their last five outings, but they’ll hope they can out-score an Arsenal side struggling to score at the moment.

🗝️Key Players & Team News📰:

Arsenal are without Bukayo Saka, Ben White, and Takehiro Tomiyasu due to injuries, while Gabriel Jesus is expected to lead the line. Mikel Arteta may also rotate with Calafiori and Jesus likely to feature.

For United, Marcus Rashford, heavily linked with a departure, may miss out along with Mason Mount, Victor Lindelof, and Luke Shaw who remain doubts due to injury. Bruno Fernandes and Rasmus Højlund are expected to spearhead their attacking charge.

🔢Match Stats & Betting Odds | Draw = 3.97💵

⚽Arsenal have won five (5) of their last six (6) meetings with Manchester United across all competitions. | Specials Market: Home/Draw & Over 2.5 = 2.21

⚽Man United boast 2 wins in 3 FA Cup encounters with Arsenal, including their last meeting in the competition at the Emirates (1-3). | Specials Market: Draw/Away & Over 1.5 = 2.80

Real Madrid, La Liga champions, face Copa del Rey runners-up Mallorca in the Spanish Super Cup semi-final on Thursday, January 9, at the King Abdullah Sports City in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia.

Riding a seven-game unbeaten streak, Los Blancos aim to secure their place in the final, while Mallorca hopes to spring an upset in their debut in the tournament’s four-team format.

🤍Real Madrid Seek to Retain Trophy | Home Win = 1.41💵

Real Madrid are in sublime form, unbeaten in their last seven matches across all competitions. A 5-0 Copa del Rey thrashing of Deportiva Minera underscores their offensive firepower.

Carlo Ancelotti’s side boasts an impeccable Supercopa record, winning five of their last six matches in the competition. Luka Modric and Jude Bellingham are pivotal figures, with the latter netting the winner in their recent La Liga victory.

While Vinicius is not expected to suffer his red card suspension in La Liga in this competition, Real Madrid will be without the injured defensive duo of Carvajal and Militao with Alaba back in the squad. Mbappé, the team’s leading scorer, is expected to feature prominently too.

🔴Mallorca Chase History in Debut Semi-Final | Away Win = 7.61💵

Mallorca enters the semi-final after a disappointing 3-0 Copa del Rey loss to Pontevedra, dampening their recent form. However, Jagoba Arrasate’s side has displayed resilience in La Liga, currently sitting sixth.

Mallorca’s attacking duo, Cyle Larin and Vedat Muriqi, will be key to breaking down Real Madrid’s makeshift defence. The underdogs face a daunting task, having managed just one win in their last eight meetings against Real Madrid.

Injuries to key midfielder Samu Costa and fitness concerns for Antonio Raillo further complicate their challenge.

🗝️Key Players🗝️:

Real Madrid’s attack will hinge on Bellingham, Modric, and Mbappé, supported by Valverde’s versatility. Mallorca, meanwhile, relies on Sergi Darder's creative spark and the physical presence of Muriqi.

🔢Match Stats & Betting Odds🔢 | Draw = 5.24💵

🔚Conclusion🔚:

With Real Madrid’s offensive form and Mallorca’s defensive vulnerabilities, Los Blancos are poised to progress comfortably to the final, further solidifying their status as Spanish football’s elite.
