Real Madrid vs. Barcelona Betting Tips: Best bets for Spanish Super Cup Final

Football fans are in for a treat on Sunday night when Real Madrid and Barcelona lock horns in the Spanish Super Cup Final, which takes place over in Saudi Arabia and can be watched live on BT Sport 2 at 7pm.
It promises to be a cracker and here at BettingOdds.com we’ve previewed the El Clásico clash and picked out our two best bets for Sunday’s showdown…
The history books reveal that Barcelona lead the way with 13 Spanish Super Cups, yet holders Real Madrid can draw level should they win on Sunday.
Both clubs held their nerve to advance through to the final on penalties. Barcelona edged out Real Betis following a 2-2 draw, and Real Madrid overcame Valencia after a 1-1 draw.
Bookmakers are having difficulty separating the Spanish giants. La Liga leaders Barcelona can be backed at 6/4 to win in 90 minutes and 4/5 to lift the trophy, which would be their first under Xavi.
Real Madrid are priced at 9/5 to triumph in normal time and 19/20 to lift the trophy, which would be their ninth under Carlo Ancelotti.
Furthermore, Betfair have a draw priced at 9/5 at 90 minutes, while Bet365 offer odds of 11/2 for the match to be decided in extra-time, and 5/1 for penalties.
Real Madrid vs Barcelona Tips
Penalties have so far dominated the 2023 Spanish Super Cup. Both Real Madrid and Barcelona prevailed from the semi-finals via this outcome and we’re expecting another tight and competitive showdown in the final, making bet365’s 5/1 for the game to be decided after penalties stand out as our first pick.
Neither club has set the world alight since the restart. Barcelona have drawn three of their four matches in 90 minutes, while Real Madrid’s form has been pretty mixed. A league win over Valladolid was followed by a narrow Copa del Rey victory over third-tier side Cacereno, they then lost to Villarreal, and required penalties to overcome Valencia in the Super Cup semi-finals.
I can definitely envision this one going the distance and being settled by a nerve-shredding shoot-out!
For the second tip we've pieced together an 8/1 Bet Builder, courtesy of bet365.
First up, we're backing Both Teams To Score (8/13), which has landed in five of the last six encounters between the teams, including Real Madrid's 3-1 win earlier this season. In fact, since the start of the 2010/11 season both teams have scored in a whopping 29 of the 37 meetings.
We're tasking Karim Benzema to do what he does best and find the back of the net (11/10), something he's done in five of his last six matches, including all three games since the restart.
This fixture is no stranger to cards, with 16 yellows in the last three duels alone and Luka Modric's price of 5/2 to be booked takes this Bet Builder up to 8/1. The Croatian has entered the ref's little black book four times in his last 10 matches at club level, as well as his last two matches against Barcelona.
