Real Madrid will take on Valencia on Wednesday in 2019/20 Supercopa de Espana semi-final as both teams eye glory. Los Blancos go into this game as the favourites.
Kick-off : 10:00 PM (Local)

Real Madrid are in command in La Liga this season and getting a trophy as prestigious as Supercopa de Espana will be an add-on.
It’s in the format that you have to play semi’s and then reach the final. So Los Blancos’s opponents are Valencia.
No doubt Valencia will be a tough contest given how Valencia almost defeated Real Madrid in La Liga recently.
Zinedine Zidane will look to his old guard to tackle Valencia this time. With a solid more strong team Real Madrid have every chance of reaching the finals.
On the other hand, Valencia are a good side and they just turn up for the bigger games and they will give it a shot in 2019/20 Supercopa de Espana.
Los Ches know their semi-final opponents in Real Madrid. Against whom they will fancy their chances.
Albert Celades will field a lineup capable of springing a surprise against Los Blancos. He will use the same strategy he used against Real Madrid last month.
Team news and possible lineups
Cristiano Piccini will not be available for Valencia for the Real Madrid game as due to injury.
As for Los Blancos, Marco Asensio is injured and hence will be unavailable.
Valencia XI : Domenech, Wass, Gabriel, Garay, Gaya, Parejo, Kondogbia, Soler, Cheryshev, Gomez, Gameiro.
