Real Madrid and Atalanta will be Moscow-bound as they duke it out for the first major piece of silverware this season on Wednesday evening.
The UEFA Super Cup is contested between the Champions League and Europa League winners from the previous season, but it shouldn’t be seen as small fry.
We’ve looked at some of the best football betting offers, odds and markets from our range of football betting sites to provide you with Real Madrid v Atalanta betting tips.
Real Madrid v Atalanta Betting Tips
Real Madrid v Atalanta Match Preview
Los Blancos are aiming to become the first team to lift the Super Cup for a record sixth time, and should they do so, it is one of a few records that could tumble.
Carlo Ancelotti is widely regarded as one of Europe’s greatest managers and he could get his hands on the trophy for a fifth time which would be unprecedented.
Naturally, viewed as a European curtain-raiser, this match could provoke plenty of intrigue.
To guide you ahead of this fixture, I have sifted through the markets and shared a couple of Real Madrid v Atalanta betting tips for your perusal.
Los Blancos to lay down a marker
With a whopping seven trophies up for grabs next season, Real Madrid won’t want to let any opportunity pass them by.
Ancelotti’s charges have an unyielding manner about them, and as we know, Real are notoriously difficult to beat.
But then again, many would have said the same about Bayer Leverkusen who nearly went an entire season undefeated across all competitions before they were resoundly beaten in the Europa League Final by Atalanta.
On that day, Ademola Lookman plundered home a hat-trick, and the rest was history.
Real have beaten Atalanta on both occasions they have faced the Serie A outfit in the Champions League, and in one of those matches they kept a clean sheet.
I’m drawn by the Real to win to nil market for my first pick, and Paddy Power has obliged with a short price of 9/5.
Dani Carvajal to get on the scoresheet
Real will have a new look about them, but there are a couple of unknowns going into the Super Cup clash with Atalanta.
Will Kylian Mbappe make his formal debut and start from the off, and will Jude Bellingham look sharper compared to the Euros?
To second guess Ancelotti might be dangerous, but there is a strong chance Mbappe could be unleashed from the first whistle. Bellingham should settle back into his stride soon, but maybe go easy on him to begin with after his punishing schedule.
Anyway, I have been slightly more left-field in terms of my picks, and gone with Dani Carvajal to find the net.
Last season, Carvajal scored six goals in all competitions for Real, and he hit the target in the 2-0 Champions League Final win over Borussia Dortmund, so he’s a man who rises to the big occasion.
If you are after value, bet365 has assigned a tempting price of 16/1 for Carvajal to score anytime during the 90 minutes which could persuade you.
