Bet on a tournament relocated at least until 2029
Initially, the first agreement for holding the Supercopa de Espana in Saudi Arabia was for three seasons. After the 2021 tournament was cancelled due to COVID, it was extended to several more seasons. Now, the Spanish Super Cup will be held in Saudi Arabia until at least 2029. If this contract is fulfilled by that date, it will bring a guaranteed 240 million euros to the coffers of the Iberian federation
In this 2022 season, which will take place from January 12 to 16, the semi-finals consist of two attractive clashes: Atlético v Athletic and an exciting Barça v Real Madrid. The format of the tournament forces the Spanish league champion (Atlético Madrid) to face the finalist of the King's Cup (Athletic Bilbao) while the other semi-final will see the Spanish Cup winner (Barça) facing the Liga runners-up (Real).
The tournament will feature VAR. However, the goal-line technology or "Hawk's Eye" will be missing this time. A few weeks ago, controversy arose in Spain about the need for this tool following the match between Valencia and Elche with a possible "ghost goal" of the latter.
Recommended bets on the Spanish Supercopa
Recent finals have been hard-fought matches, with Barca winning 2-1 in 2018, Real Madrid winning on penalties in 2019-20 and finally Athletic winning 3-2 in extra time. Therefore, we recommend betting on a close match with a minor goal difference.
In addition, the two winners of the semi-finals compete for the title in the final held four days after the semis. Consequently, it is a short format that favours the formation of the moment.
New format since 2018
Since 2018, the Spanish Supercup has been played with only four teams: the LaLiga champion, its runner-up, the winner of the Spanish Cup (Copa del Rey)and the winner of the last edition of the Supercup.
Athletic won the final of the Supercup 2021 against Barcelona. Apart from Atletico Madrid's victory in 2017, this final victory was an exception since, in 2008, Real Madrid and Barcelona won all the trophies.
