The UEFA Super Cup comes days after the start of the English Premier League and La Liga seasons. Manchester City qualified by winning the Champions League, while Sevilla won the Europa League. The Citizens will be playing their first-ever UEFA Super Cup in this game, and it will be their second cup final this season.
Manchester City are currently in 3rd place in the Premier League standings. They won their first game against Burnley without much trouble. The Citizens lost the Community Shield to Arsenal in their first final of the season, and now they will take on Los Nervionenses for the UEFA Super Cup. Manchester City won their first-ever Champions League title last season by beating Inter in the final.
Sevilla are currently in 17th place in the La Liga standings. Los Nervionenses surprisingly lost their first game to Valencia at home. They beat Roma in the Europa League Final last season on penalties. Sevilla have won the UEFA Super Cup only once in six attempts, and it was in 2006, beating Barcelona 3-0.

According to the best football betting odds sites, Manchester City are the huge favorites at 1.40 (2/5). A draw is offered at 5.0 (4/1), while Sevilla are unsurprisingly the underdogs at 8.50 (15/2) to beat the Citizens.
Manchester City are coming off a 3-0 away win against Burnley in the Premier League. The Citizens played well and dealt with the newly promoted Burnley team perfectly in that match. Haaland scored a brace, which is similar to his first-ever EPL game with Man City last season. Rodri had a goal as well in that match and was the best player for the Citizens.
Sevilla are coming off a 2-1 home loss to Valencia in La Liga. En Nesyri scored the only goal for Los Nervionenses in that game, while Diakhaby and Guerra were the scorers for the Bats. Sevilla had a good preseason, and they were expected to have a positive result in their first game of the season, but they are improving and should be better in the following weeks.
Manchester City and Sevilla have played each other only four times before, and all of them ended in wins for the Citizens. Their latest encounters were in the Champions League group stage last season. Los Nervionenses came third in the group, while Man City were on top.

Manchester City are healthier than Sevilla for this game, and they beat them twice last season in the Champions League. Pep Guardiola and the Citizens are unlikely to lose yet another final after losing to Arsenal in the Community Shield game. The team had a good bounce-back against Burnley and will be looking to keep the momentum going.
The bet on Man City lifting the trophy has quite low odds, and that’s why picking the Citizens to win by two goals is better. Manchester City outscored Sevilla 7-1 in two games played between them last season.

Both teams are very good offensively, and there should be a lot of scoring chances in this game. Sevilla have scored at least a goal in 13 consecutive matches, while Manchester City are on a streak of seven games as well. Both teams have scored in four of the last five matches for the Citizens, so they have been scoring a lot but also conceding.

Julian Alvarez has been great for Manchester City since joining the club from River Plate. He had an assist against Burnley in Man City’s first EPL game this season. Julian is an exceptional finisher and should get chances against this Sevilla defense. He scored nine Premier League goals last season despite starting only 13 matches. Alvarez is set to start the game in place of the injured De Bruyne, but it would be better to wait for the lineups before placing this one.
Manchester City have only one injury ahead of this game, and it’s De Bruyne, who will be out for a few weeks with a hamstring injury.
Sevilla will be without Marcao, Nianzou, and Vacas in this game due to injuries.
The Citizens are playing their second final already this season, and we will be going with them to win and lift the trophy this time. Make sure you use our Man City vs Sevilla betting predictions and bet them at the online sportsbooks to have more fun watching the game.
