THE PREDICTION
Los Blancos enter the semi-finals of the Super Cup with the potential of winning Zinedine Zidane’s 12th trophy as Real manager; he has only managed 235 Real games. There is the expectation of rotation but with no game until the following Wednesday, away at third tier side Alcoyano, it should still be strong. They come up against an Athletic side who didn’t play this weekend due to as weather-enforced postponement and they have no game until the following Thursday away to Ibiza. The Basque side have recently appointed Marcelino as their new manager and his only game was a 3-2 defeat to Barcelona as Athletic are looking to move to a more attacking style. Real’s unpredictability and Athletic’s potential new style, which has now had more time to be worked on, make the result too close to call but both teams to score remains something of a solid bet as was the case just last month as Real ran out 3-1 winners in La Liga.
