Real Madrid vs Barcelona preview

Neither side's return to action following the World Cup has been particularly impressive and that was evident in both semi-finals.

Thibaut Courtois and Marc-Andre Ter Stegen were called upon to produce a number of superb saves and fortunately for both sides their goalkeepers are both in exceptional form.

This is likely therefore to be another tight game and looks set to be decided by the finest of margins.

Since the revamped Spanish Super Cup format was introduced in the 2019/20 season, there have been 11 matches with six of them going to extra time.

Backing a draw in 90 minutes therefore should appeal.

Real Madrid vs Barcelona tips and predictions.
