Barcelona and Athletic Bilbao are set to compete in the Spanish Super Cup semi-final in Jeddah. Barcelona enters the match as the favorite, having secured eight consecutive wins in La Liga, including a previous 4-0 victory over Athletic Bilbao this season. Athletic Bilbao, a three-time champion, comes into the game following a draw in their last fixture and faces a challenging task against the in-form Barcelona side. The winner will advance to the final to face either Real Madrid or Atletico Madrid.
