AC Milan v Sevilla FC - Uefa Super Cup - Preview - Betting Tips
My tip for this final are clear. In my personal opinion Sevilla will win the Uefa Super Cup on Friday. I have more reasons when I say this. First Sevilla has more official games played after the summer period. They destroyed Real Madrid in the Spanish Super Cup and we saw that Real won the first game of the La Liga so they are not that bad. After that Sevilla has shown incredible skills and great balance in it’s game during the last two seasons. Third an not least they want to dedicate this trophy to Antonio Puerta and this will be a very important motivation for the Spanish side. So my tip would be, go with Sevilla!
