Real Madrid make the trip to Saudi Arabia to face Valencia in the Spanish Super Cup on Wednesday at the King Fahd International Stadium in Riyadh.
Carlo Ancelotti's men qualified for this mid-season showpiece by winning the 2022-23 La Liga title, while Valencia made their way by virtue of being Copa del Rey runners-up. Los Blancos are the defending champions and also the second-most successful side in the history of the tournament as they have won the title on 12 occasions.
Meanwhile, Valencia bagged their only Super Cup title back in 1999 courtesy of a 4-3 aggregate victory over Barcelona. They have a tall order to get the better of Los Blancos as they have been pretty inconsistent with their form and currently sit in 11th in the Liga table. They have lost their last three encounters against the capital side, including a heavy 4-1 loss in La Liga in January 2022.
