BOTH Manchester City and Sevilla will be looking to add another trophy to their cabinet when they meet in the UEFA Super Cup on Wednesday evening.
The European giants will head to the Karaiskakis Stadium in Greece, with Pep Guardiola’s side having already won their opening Premier League fixture. Can Sevilla cause an upset or will it be last season’s treble winners who lift the Super Cup trophy?
Manchester City vs Sevilla odds
Ahead of the Super Cup on Wednesday, the following are the odds from leading bookmakers:
Manchester City vs Sevilla betting preview
While both teams returned to domestic action over the weekend, Manchester City and Sevilla must now quickly shift their attention back to European football. Having beaten Inter Milan to win the Champions League for the first time in their history, Manchester City will be the favourites to overcome Europa League winners Sevilla.
Prolific striker Erling Haaland was at the double for City in their win over Burnley on Saturday, with manager Guardiola having an assortment of riches to choose from elsewhere. Having not featured at Turf Moor, we could well see Jack Grealish from the start. However, having come off injured in the first half against Vincent Kompany’s side, Kevin de Bruyne is almost certain to miss out.

As for the Spaniards, Sevilla lost their opening La Liga fixture at home to Valencia on Friday. However, as Manchester United knows only too well, Sevilla are a team who generally save their best form for European competitions. Manager José Luis Mendilibar only took charge back in March, with Sevilla having finished the season in a disappointing 12th position in the La Liga standings.
Former City fan favourite Jesus Navas is likely to captain Los Nervionenses, with their squad being packed full of experience. Despite this, City are likely to have too much firepower for their opponents, even if Guardiola decides to ring the changes.

Manchester City vs Sevilla best bets
Ahead of kick-off in Greece, the following are among the best worth considering:
Both teams to score
You could argue that both teams are better going forward than they are defensively. Despite their success in Europa last season, City and Sevilla were far from formidable at the back. With the likes of Haaland and En-Nesyri on show too, it would be no surprise if both teams find the back of the net during the 90 minutes.
Erling Haaland to score first
Some may have wondered whether City’s number 9 could keep up his scoring rate from last season. However, with the Norwegian powerhouse having bagged twice in City’s Premier League opener, the 23-year-old is showing no signs of slowing down. As such, betting on Haaland to open the scoring in midweek is worth backing.
