English giants Manchester City will be facing La Liga’s Sevilla in the UEFA Super Cup on August 16th. Man City, who won last year’s Champions League, are the heavy favorites with odds of -270, while Sevilla comes in at +725. The match will take place at 3:00 pm EST and can be watched on Paramount+, CBS Sports Network, Univision, and DAZN. The game will be held at the Georgios Karaiskakis Football Stadium in Greece.
Man City reached the Super Cup by winning the Champions League last season, defeating Inter Milan 1-0. They had a successful campaign last year, winning the Premier League and the FA Cup as well. However, they lost Ilkay Gundogan to Barcelona during the offseason. They started the season with a dominant performance against Burnley, with Erling Haaland scoring two goals. They drew 1-1 with Arsenal in the Community Shield before losing in penalties.
Sevilla, on the other hand, won their tournament-best seventh Europa League title last season. They are veterans of the Super Cup, having won it once in 2006 and participating in it five other times. They have a poor record against Man City, losing all four of their previous meetings, including two losses during the Champions League Group Stage last year.
In terms of Super Cup history, the Europa League winners have had more success in recent years, winning in eight of the past nine years. However, both Spain and England have been well-represented in the match, with 13 of the teams coming from La Liga and five from the Premier League in the past ten years. The draw has also been a common outcome in this matchup.
In terms of injuries, Man City will be without Kevin De Bruyne, who re-aggravated his hamstring injury. Sevilla will be missing Nianzou and Marcao.
Based on their previous meetings and current form, our prediction is a win for Man City, with Erling Haaland scoring a goal. You can find this same-game parlay at Bet365 with odds of -110.
