Real Madrid: Reigning Champs
Real Madrid will begin the Spanish Super Cup title defense quest on Wednesday evening when they take on Valencia in the semifinal clash at King Fahd International Stadium in Riyadh. They defeated Barcelona on the way to the title last year and they are set as big favorites to dispatch Copa del Rey runners-up Valencia here.
Carlo Ancelotti’s troops will come into the game off the back of a disappointing performance in the 2-1 defeat at Villarreal on Saturday afternoon in La Liga. They are now three points shy of Barcelona at the top of the league standings. Ancelotti will be keen to turn his attention to picking up the first piece of silverware of the season. They had claimed three straight wins prior to that defeat and will be targeting a swift return to winning ways.
Real Madrid’s defensive vulnerability will be a source of worry. They have been shaky at the back lately and have conceded in seven of their last nine matches across all competitions, so if you’re betting online you should expect them to concede at least once on Wednesday. They will be without defender David Alaba and midfielder Aurelien Tchouameni, who are both dealing with calf injuries.
Alaba is believed to have picked up the issue against Villarreal while Tchouameni is thought to have suffered the problem during Monday’s training session. Karim Benzema has been in good form since La Liga resumed and has scored three goals in his last two matches. The French striker has also found the net seven times in the last five meetings with Valencia.
Valencia: Disappointing Season
Valencia will enter the match in lower spirits. They suffered a shocking 0-1 defeat at home to relegation-threatened Cadiz on Friday. It was the second successive league loss for Valencia, who is now sitting 11th in the standings. The fact Valencia only managed to register two shots on target against the leaky Cadiz defense says enough about their current form.
The visitors will be the underdogs heading into Wednesday’s affair, and they have only actually managed to beat Real Madrid on one occasion since early 2019. Valencia has also struggled to maintain their discipline at the back this season and we don’t expect that to improve now, so we won’t include them in our soccer picks and parlays.
On-loan Barcelona midfielder Nico Gonzalez is on the sidelines with a fractured foot while Samu Castillejo has undergone surgery on a fractured wrist, so he will miss out on the contest. Jaume Domenech has made the trip with his teammates to provide support, but the goalkeeper remains unavailable for selection through injury. Edinson Cavani has been a hit since moving to Valencia, scoring five goals in nine appearances.
