Spanish Super Cup first leg
Sky Sports Main Event, 9pm Sunday

Barcelona lifted the Super Cup in style last term - thumping Sevilla 5-0 on aggregate - but the challenge of bitter rivals Real Madrid looks set to prove tougher.

Ernesto Valverde's troops are still coming to terms with the departure of Neymar to French giants PSG and the depth of their squad looks much weaker than that of Real Madrid, who have lost on just two of their last seven trips to Camp Nou.

Recommendation
Real Madrid or draw double chance
1pt 5-6 bet365

Key stat
Both teams have scored in 22 of the last 23 meetings between the sides.
