Barcelona are brimming with confidence following a 2-0 win over Espanyol in the Catalan derby and with Athletic Bilbao struggling for form, we predict that Barca will emerge triumphant (2-1) in the Spanish Super Cup semifinal. Hansi Flick’s men are on the right track to defend their La Liga title, but they have big ambitions for the Spanish Super Cup as well. As the Catalan giants have been averaging 2.50 goals of late, a high-scoring affair is on the cards at King Abdullah Sports City. Gavi and Christensen remain in the recovery room, but Hansi Flick has strength in depth.
The Lions, on the other hand, head into Wednesday’s clash following a 1-1 draw with Osasuna. With Athletic Club winning only of their last five games in all competitions, away triumph should not be considered. You should bear in mind that the Basque outfit have been scoring only 0.67 goals per game away from home. Both Unai Egiluz and Benat Prados Diaz are out of contention with injuries for the nominal visitors.
Unlikely Athletic Bilbao, Barcelona have been in a splendid form of late and with the La Liga champions leading the H2H record, Home Win is our main betting tip for this Super Cup clash. Additionally Over 2.5 goals and Over 3.5 goals bets are worth considering as Barca have been struggling at the back this season due to their high press.
This Spain Super Cup match will be played on Wednesday 7 January 2026 at 19:00.
