The Spanish Super Cup tournament, featuring the significant Madrid derby, will be taking place in Riyadh, the capital of Saudi Arabia. This marks the second occasion the competition is being held in the Middle East.

Several days ago, Real Madrid overcame numerous unexpected challenges to beat lower league Arandina 2-1 in the 1/16 finals of the Copa de la Rey. They also triumphed over Mallorca 1-0 in LaLiga, managing to keep pace with the biggest surprise team in the top European leagues, Girona. Ancelotti will likely be pleased, as several players are set to return from injury-related absences.

Atletico Madrid, one of the most powerful Spanish teams for the past ten years, secured a spot in the 1/16 finals of the Spanish Cup. However, they suffered a last-minute goal against Girona, resulting in a thrilling 4-3 loss, one of the season's most exhilarating matches. When facing Real Madrid, they always deliver an impressive performance, often with a special incentive. Thus, it is anticipated that Diego Simeone’s squad will once again put up a strong fight.

Real Madrid vs Atletico Madrid pick: REAL MADRID TO WIN

Despite a less than stellar start to the year, Real Madrid managed to secure two victories, which is the key takeaway. Atletico Madrid’s defense is not as strong as it has been in the past, with numerous errors being made. Considering all competitions, Real Madrid has triumphed in 11 of their past 12 games. The team is gradually improving, and we anticipate further enhancement in the season’s second half. The upcoming Super Cup semi-final is expected to be a challenging match, but the prediction is that Real Madrid will prevail by at least one goal.
