Manchester City vs Sevilla Predictions

• Manchester City beat Sevilla twice in the Champions League last season, winning 7-1 on aggregate.
• City overcame Burnley 3-0 in their Premier League opener.
• Sevilla lost their La Liga opener 2-1 to Valencia at home.

First silverware of the year for City

Manchester City missed out on the Community Shield as they lost out to Arsenal but can claim a first trophy of the season when they face Europa League winners Sevilla in the UEFA Super Cup final at the Georgios Karaiskakis Stadium in Piraeus, Greece.

City and Sevilla met in the Champions League group stages last season, with the Spanish side going on to win the Europa League after dropping into that competition and the Premier League winners landing Europe’s biggest prize.

Peo Guardiola’s men won those two meetings last season convincingly, 4-0 away and 3-1 at home, and they should be able to win fairly comfortably on Wednesday.

City can win with room to spare

Backing to City to beat a -1 handicap is the main bet for this cup final after a fairly strong start to the season. Defeat to Arsenal was a blow, but they perhaps approached that game at Wembley as a pre-season encounter.

The Manchester outfit should be fired up for this European night and up to speed after a 3-0 win over Burnley at the weekend, while Sevilla lost out to Valencia in their own curtain-raiser.

Sevilla can get on the scoresheet

A 3-1 win for City is the correct score prediction as Sevilla have only failed to score in one of their last nine competitive games and tend to raise their game in Europe, having seen off Juventus and then Roma in the final during their Europa League run last term.

City also allowed Burnley to create a few openings at the weekend and both managers could opt to make a few changes to their lineups, which may lead to a more open game.

Erling Haaland scored twice against Sevilla last season and after hitting a brace in the win over the Clarets is an obvious pick for an anytime scorer on Wednesday.
