Ex-World Cup winner Adil Rami backs Real Madrid to beat Barcelona in the Spanish Supercopa in Saudi Arabia, predicting 3-1 (Campi 2-0). For bettors, consider a Madrid win and an Over 2.5 goals market or Madrid -1 Asian handicap if you expect a clear victory.
Adil Rami Predicts Real Madrid to Edge Barcelona in Spanish Supercopa
Adil Rami, the former Sevilla, Valencia and France defender, has tipped Real Madrid to overcome Barcelona in the Spanish Supercopa final in Saudi Arabia. Fresh from his involvement in the Kings World Cup Nations 2026, Rami forecasted a 3-1 victory for Xabi Alonso’s side, while coach Grégory Campi offered a 2-0 scoreline for Madrid.
Why Rami Sees Trouble for Barcelona’s Defence
Rami argued that Barcelona’s high defensive line leaves them vulnerable to quick transitions and incisive forwards. “Because Barça’s defense has many problems with the high line. It’s going to be difficult for them,” he said, highlighting tactical frailties that could be exploited by Madrid’s pace and movement.
Player Picks: Pedri vs Rodrygo in Kings-Style Match
When asked to name one player from each finalist for a Kings-style seven-a-side match, both Rami and Campi selected Pedri for Barcelona and Rodrygo for Real Madrid. Those choices underline a belief in technical midfield creativity for Barça and direct attacking threat for Madrid.
Kings World Cup Nations: France Advance After Thrilling Win
Rami plays for France in the Kings World Cup Nations, a national-team offshoot of the Kings League. France clinched qualification with a 9-7 victory over Poland in their final group match, a game in which Rami converted a penalty to help seal the result. Coach Campi stressed the squad’s confidence: “We are not afraid of any national team, although we respect them a lot.”
Kings League Context and Fantasy Picks
The Kings League, a seven-a-side competition co-founded by former Barcelona defender Gerard Piqué, is entering its fourth season and continues to attract high-profile names. Campi named Kylian Mbappé as his dream star for the format, while Rami suggested a trio — Mbappé, Ousmane Dembélé and Rayan Cherki — as ideal additions to the spectacle.
Betting Implications and What Punters Should Consider
Rami’s public 3-1 prediction and Campi’s 2-0 call both signal confidence in a Madrid victory and a potentially open game with multiple goals. Punters might weigh backing a Real Madrid win, considering markets like Over 2.5 goals or a Madrid -1 Asian handicap if they expect a clear margin. Always account for team news and lineups before placing bets.
