BARCELONA
Barcelona have struggled in the domestic league this season. They are a massive 17 points behind leaders Real Madrid and are 6th place, although very much within striking distance of European places. Their latest setback was a 1-1 draw away at Granada where they conceded the equalizer with just a minute of normal time left on the clock.
Coach Xavi will be hoping there will be no hangovers from that game as they shift gears quickly from La Liga to a chance of silverware in the form of the Spanish Cup.
They’ll need to up their game against Real Madrid who have had their number on speed dial in their recent meetings including their league encounter that Real won at Camp Nou.
REAL MADRID
Stung by the pain of watching their cross-town rivals Atletico snatch the title away from them last season, Real Madrid have come back with a vengeance and dominated this season from the get-go. They eased to a 4-1 win over Valencia on Saturday with the red-hot Kareem Benzema starring for them yet again with a brace.
With the title race looking good so far for them, Los Bloncos have a chance to add to their 11 Super Cup titles here. They fell short last season, losing at this very stage to Athletic Bilbao.
They will however be pretty confident coming up against Barcelona having won their last 4 straight encounters including a 2-1 win at Camp Nou earlier in the season.

BARCELONA VS REAL MADRID PREDICTIONS
With Real playing breathtaking football at the moment and Benzema putting up his best season for the club ever, it is difficult to see anything other than a victory for them. Mentally they are in a good place too as they have totally dominated Barcelona in their recent match-ups. The promise of silverware is such a motivating factor here and we expect the high flying Madrid attack to come out of the gates flying. We are backing them to break the ice with the opening goal of this tie @ 1.69 with Odibet for our initial tip.
As always, there is no love lost between these teams and we expect their usual animosity to come into play here. 4 of the last 5 encounters between them has seen the referee dishing out at least 4 yellow cards.
