Real Betis vs. FC Barcelona live stream: Spanish Super Cup prediction, TV channel, how to watch online, oddsOn Thursday Xavi's team will face Real Betis with a chance to battle Real Madrid in the final Jan 11, 2023 at 6:06 pm ET • 1 min read Getty Images The Spanish Super Cup continues on Thursday as Real Betis and FC Barcelona face each other in the semifinals. The winner will take on Real Madrid in the final on Sunday, meaning we would get El Clasico if Barca advance. Xavi's side are coming off a crucial away win against Atletico de Madrid (1-0) while the team coached by Manuel Pellegrini won 2-1 away against Rayo Vallecano. The Spanish Super Cup used to only include the La Liga and Copa Del Rey winners but was expanded in 2019 to include the runners-up of both competitions.
Barcelona's longest streak without winning the Super Cup was eight years from 1997 to 2004. Ernesto Valverde was the last coach to lead Barça to victory in 2018, and before that Luis Enrique in 2016 and Tito Vilanova in 2013. Pep Guardiola managed Barça to three consecutive Super Cup titles, and Frank Rijkaard was in charge for back-to-back wins previously. Real Betis are performing well again this season, after winning the Copa del Rey last season. Pellegrini's side are currently fourth in the league, one point ahead of Atletico de Madrid. Betis have a particularly good defense, the third best in the league with 13 goals conceded in 16 matches.
