On January 16, the final match for the Spanish Super Cup will take place, in which Real Madrid will play Athletic Bilbao in Saudi Arabia. The forecast for this match is given by the famous commentator Viktor Gusev.
It just so happened that Real Madrid will fight for the trophy with the average of the Spanish championship. It may seem unfair to some people, but such is the original format of the tournament.
In the semi-finals of the Super Cup, Athletic managed to get a strong-willed victory over Atletico Madrid (2:1), taking great advantage of the standard provisions in the end. Real Madrid made their fans worry, but still broke the resistance of Barcelona in extra time (3:2).
Of course, it is difficult to argue with the status of the favorite of Real Madrid in this match. During this season, the Royal club has already beaten the Basques twice in La Liga - 1-0 at home and 2-1 away. But still, Mikhail Polenov expects that Athletic will be able to restrain itself by imposing a viscous manner of play on the opponent. Marcelino's team understands perfectly well that it is impossible to provide a lot of space to Madrid's attacking players – this is fraught with deplorable consequences. The expert bets on a draw in the first half.
