Manchester City vs Sevilla Betting Odds, Tips, Predictions, Preview 16th August 2023
The UEFA Super Cup clash at Karaiskakis Stadium this coming Wednesday sees Manchester City taking on Spanish opponents Sevilla.
Manchester City and Sevilla met each other in the group stage of the Champions League last season.
Manchester City was on their way to winning the tournament, while Sevilla got knocked out of the group. They entered the Europa League after coming third behind City and Dortmund and went on to win the whole thing.
That was their seventh title in the Europa League, in seven attempts, this time beating AS Rome. Manchester City, on the other hand, won their first title in the Champions League, finally putting to rest the desire for Pep Guardiola to lift the trophy with the "The Citizens".
With seven titles to their name in the Europa League, Sevilla have also qualified for this UEFA Super Cup seven times. So far, they have been very unsuccessful with five defeats on the bounce.
Nine of last 11 UEFA Super Cup finals have seen both teams score. Both exceptions involved Real Madrid winning 2-0. Of the last 10 UEFA Super Cup-finals, seven went into extra-time, among them the last three which saw Sevilla competing.
