Between them, the two giants have lifted the trophy 28 times, Barcelona leading the way with 15 titles to Madrid’s 13.
Given recent trends and attacking form on both sides, this final shapes up as another high-scoring classic.
Barcelona arrive in Jeddah in devastating form. The Blaugrana dismantled Athletic Bilbao 5-0 in the semi-finals, scoring four goals before half-time in a display of ruthless efficiency.
That result extended Barca’s winning run to eight consecutive victories in all competitions, during which they have scored 24 goals and conceded just once.
In their last five matches, Barcelona have scored 13 goals without conceding, highlighting the balance between attacking fluency and defensive solidity.
They are also top of La Liga, four points clear of Real Madrid after 19 rounds, and have kept five straight clean sheets.
Although this match is on neutral ground, their recent dominance in big games suggests they are well equipped for the occasion.
Team news is relatively stable for Barcelona. Gavi, Marc-André ter Stegen, Ronald Araújo, and Andreas Christensen remain sidelined, but there are no new major concerns.
Hansi Flick is expected to stick with his preferred 4-2-3-1 setup, with Ferran Torres likely leading the line and Lamine Yamal pushing for a start after being rested in the semi-final.
Raphinha has been in outstanding form, while FermÃn López has contributed one goal and four assists in his last two matches, underlining his growing influence in decisive moments.
Real Madrid, meanwhile, come into the final with momentum of their own, despite an up-and-down season overall.
Los Blancos edged Atlético Madrid 2-1 in the semi-finals, securing a fifth straight competitive win.
Across their last five matches, Madrid have scored 14 goals but conceded five, reflecting a more open, risk-heavy style.
They currently sit second in La Liga, four points behind Barcelona, and will see this final as an opportunity to shift the psychological balance.
Away form has been solid recently, with Madrid scoring 2+ goals in five of their last seven games.
In terms of squad availability, Madrid have been boosted by the return of Kylian Mbappé, who has 29 goals and four assists in all competitions this season.
However, injuries to Éder Militão and Trent Alexander-Arnold, along with Brahim DÃaz’s absence, slightly weaken their depth.
Xabi Alonso may opt for a flexible 4-4-2/4-3-3 to better compete with Barcelona’s midfield control, relying on Mbappé, VinÃcius Júnior, and Rodrygo to provide constant goal threat.
Head-to-head history strongly favours goals. Six of the last seven meetings between these sides produced at least four goals, with the last Supercopa final ending 5-2 in Barcelona’s favour.
Although Madrid won the most recent league meeting 2-1 in October, Barcelona have won four of the last five Clásicos, often in emphatic fashion.
Key Betting Pointers;
Barcelona have scored 2+ goals in eight straight matches.
Real Madrid have scored 2+ goals in five of their last seven games.
Six of the last seven El Clásicos produced over 2.5 goals.
All recent Supercopa finals between these sides have been high-scoring.
With both teams boasting elite attacking talent, recent goal-heavy meetings, and defensive absences on each side, this final is well set up for goals. Regardless of the eventual winner, chances should be plentiful.
Prediction: Over 2.5 goals
