Real Madrid will be facing Valencia, a team currently in the middle of the league standings. Valencia has not been as strong as they were in the 2000s, and recently lost against a team near the bottom of the league, Cadiz. This was a painful defeat for Gennaro Gattuso's team as they were in good form before that game. Valencia has some quality players, including the veteran striker Edinson Cavani. The rest of the team is made up of young players with potential but less experience in big games. Today they will face a strong opponent, and because Valencia is not playing so confidently away from Mestalla, another defeat is in sight. Valencia's defence is allowing a lot of "cheap" goals and this will be a big problem against one of the best attacks in the world of football. Real Madrid has consistently been a strong team, and they have been contending with Barcelona for the top spot in La Liga. However, they recently suffered a defeat against Villarreal. It's not a big surprise if we take into account that Real Madrid always had difficulty in Villarreal. After Barcelona secured a win against Atletico de Madrid, they are now three points ahead of Real Madrid. In the Spanish Super Cup, Real Madrid and Barcelona are both competing for the title. Barcelona will play against Betis in the semi-finals on Thursday, while Real Madrid will play in the semi-finals on Wednesday. The final will take place on Sunday, with all matches being held at the King Fahd International Stadium in Saudi Arabia. I believe Real Madrid will dominate this game since first whistle, quality and experience are on their side, so I suggest backing them to win and proceed to the final.
