Second Super Bowl of the season for Manchester City. First – the Citizens lost, losing to Arsenal in the penalty shootout in the match for the FA Super Cup. Man City managed to rehabilitate already in the first round of the Premier League, defeating Burnley. But the trophy is still more important. Especially the one that is not yet in the collection of the Citizens.
Sevilla won the UEFA Super Cup 17 years ago – in 2006, even with Ramos at the head, with Navarro, Kanoute and Alves in the squad. Five more times Sevilla played in the final. In the last – three years ago, losing in extra time to Bayern.

Seville
But still there is one point that is worth paying attention to. Namely, the character of Sevilla and its ability to play European Cup matches. No one bet on Sevilla last season, but the Spaniards won the Europa League, knocking out Manchester United and Juventus en route to the trophy, and beating Roma in the final. As a result, access to the Champions League, which should be a good help for a club experiencing serious financial problems: it was reported that in the summer Sevilla is ready to sell almost all the players of the main squad. But, it should be noted that the club managed to save the backbone of the team.
But Manchester City in this match will not be able to count on the injured De Bruyne and Dias, Silva’s participation in the match is questionable. Sevilla may not play Kouassi and Markan.
But Manchester City have Haaland, who scored a brace. The Norwegian from Sevilla scored twice for Manchester City and in the Champions League group stage match, when the Citizens defeated the Spaniards 4:0. In the second round match, by the way, Man City also won 3:1. It is not surprising that the probability “individual total Manchester city over 2” bookmakers evaluate as 1×1.77. And the chances of “Manchester City win by two goals” as 1×4.
