The Super Cup Final is here and we have Real Madrid taking on Eintracht Frankfurt in the battle for the first bit of European silverware this campaign. Here we have how to watch the match, team news, head-to-head, odds, our prediction and everything else you need to know.
The two champions of the major European trophies face off today in a one-off game to become Super Cup winners. Real Madrid won last year's Champions League after they defeated Liverpool in the final 1-0, thanks to a goal from Brazilian winger Vinicius Jr.
Frankfurt on the other hand defeated Rangers in what was a tense Europa League final that made it all the way to penalties. Aaron Ramsay was the unfortunate culprit to miss his spot-kick and Frankfurt dispatched all theirs - making them champions.
This should be a great game between two great sides, so let's get into it. Here's everything you need to know about Real Madrid vs Frankfurt in the Super Cup.

Carlo Ancelotti must make the decision as to whether he hands competitive debuts to his new signings Aurelien Tchouameni and Antonio Rudiger, but with Madrid's depth so vast, they may struggle to break into the side.
As for Frankfurt, star man Filip Kostic may not feature thanks to speculation on his future being uncertain - with West Ham United heavily linked.
Real Madrid Predicted XI:
Courtois; Carvajal, Militao, Alaba, Mendy; Kroos, Casemiro, Modric; Valverde, Benzema, Vinicius Jr
Frankfurt Predicted XI:
Trapp; Toure, Ndicka, Tuta; Knauff, Sow, Rode, Lenz; Gotze, Kamada; Borre
