Real Madrid take Valencia in the semifinal match of Spanish Super Cup. The match will be played on Wednesday, January 11th at King Fahd International Stadium (Riyadh)
Real Madrid last season, after the return of Carletto, returned to the top - both nationally and internationally. It turned out to win both the Spanish Super Cup with LaLiga, and the Champions League. In the new draw, the Galacticos are showing themselves well. But at the same time, the team still makes misfires and faces problems. In autumn, the victory in El Clasico was leveled by failures with Girona and Rayo Vallecano, giving 1st place in the current table to Barcelona. Moreover, although in December it was possible to catch up with a competitor, Ancelotti's wards still faced problems. Who knows if Valladolid won if it weren't for a penalty 10 minutes before the final whistle. Then there was a stronger opponent, Villarreal. And they managed to defeat today’s hosts with a score of 2-1. The hero was Gerard Moreno, who first assisted Pino, and then he himself converted the decisive penalty.

Valencia have an important factor that influences a lot: the most popular project belongs to Peter Lim. And the eccentric millionaire from Asia remains true to himself. Unexpectedly, he fired Pepe Bordalas, who in the first year of his work made good progress in LaLiga and, most importantly, reached the final of the Copa del Rey with his wards - in fact, this gave the right to play now in the Super Cup. In any case, now Valencia play under Gennaro Gattuso. And it turns out mediocrely - there are less victories than defeats. One of recent losses of points – the Bats lost to Villarreal, with a decisive goal in the 88th minute. Yes, after that there were 3-0 with a modest La Nucia in the cup. Then there was the hosting of the modest Cadiz, and, having conceded already in the 9th minute, the more status club could not answer the fighter for survival, and lost 0-1.
Real Madrid has 5 wins in the last 6 head-to-head matches, losing once 1-4 at the Mestalla in November 2020. Los Blancos took the maximum in all 3 last matches in a row. Real are naturally considered as a favorite in this confrontation. But, in any case, it is unlikely that the teams here can (and want) to show spectacular football. So let's focus on the pick in the form of 3.0 goals scored in total.
Prediction for the match: Under 3.0 scored goals.
