The Supercopa de Espana final for 2024 will once more pit Clasico rivals Real Madrid and Barcelona against one another in Jeddah.
Los Blancos overcame Mallorca 3-0 on January 9 to secure their place in the showpiece, 24 hours after Barca had eliminated Athletic Club in the other semifinal.
This will be the third year in a row in which the Spanish Super Cup — expanded to a four-team mini-tournament in 2020 and staged almost entirely in Saudi Arabia since — sees Madrid and Barca meet in the final.
The Catalans won 3-1 in 2023, but Carlo Ancelotti’s men got their revenge last year with a 4-1 victory.
Barca claimed a resounding 4-0 victory at the Santiago Bernabeu in La Liga back in October, but their form has dipped since that encounter, while Madrid have shown steady signs of improvement.
As a result, this contest will be difficult to call.
Real Madrid vs. Barcelona lineups, predicted starting 11, team news
Luka Modric missed the semifinal due to illness but is expected to be available for the final, giving Madrid a largely clean bill of health.
Ancelotti will likely stick with the 4-2-3-1 setup that has restored some of the defensive balance his team were missing in the early part of the season, so he could name an unchanged lineup from the Mallorca game.
Real Madrid predicted lineup (4-2-3-1, right to left): Courtois (GK) — Vazquez, Tchouameni, Rudiger, Mendy — Valverde, Camavinga — Rodrygo, Bellingham, Vinicius — Mbappe
Injured: Carvajal, Militao (both knee), Modric (illness, doubt)Suspended: None
Barca also find themselves at close to full strength, and the temporary reprieve granted by the Spanish court to allow Dani Olmo and Pau Victor to play means both players are available for selection for this game.
Wojciech Szczesny played in goal against Athletic after Inaki Pena fell foul of coach Hansi Flick’s strict punctuality rules, but the latter could be restored for the final.
Ronald Araujo will likely not be involved as he negotiates a move away this month.
Barcelona predicted lineup (4-2-3-1, right to left): Pena (GK) — Kounde, Cubarsi, Martinez, Balde — Casado, Pedri — Lamine Yamal, Gavi, Raphinha — Lewandowski
Injured: Bernal, Ter Stegen (both knee), Christensen (Achilles)Suspended: None
