Barcelona and Sevilla play in the European Super Cup this week and we have picked our football betting tips and predictions for the match.
Barcelona v Sevilla takes place on Tuesday 11th August in Georgia of all places, and the Champions League winners are strong favourites to beat their fellow European winners, Europa League victors Sevilla.
Football Predictions – Barcelona v Sevilla.
Barcelona have confirmed that they will take all of their first team players to Tbilisi for the European Super Cup this week with the exception of Neymar who has been given an extended break following the Copa America this summer.
Sevilla contested the Super Cup last season and were soundly beaten by another Spanish side, Real Madrid. There could be a similar outcome here despite this being a glorified pre-season friendly.
Barcelona have been indifferent as they contested the International Champions Cup through the summer, last time out they beat Roma 3-0 but lost to Man United and Fiorentina, and Chelsea on penalties prior to that result.
For my Barcelona v Sevilla predictions this week I will certainly be betting on a Barcelona win, but we need to find some alternative bets because the 4/11 for Barcelona to win are just not appealing.
Barcelona v Sevilla First Goalscorer Betting Tip
With the absence of Neymar we are down to just two world class forwards to pick from for our Super Cup first goalscorer betting tip. Messi is shorter in the odds and with Suarez being deployed down the middle, he is the one to bet on.
My first Super Cup prediction for Barcelona v Sevilla is Luis Suarez to score first, the best odds are 7/2 with Ladbrokes – if he scores in the first 25 minutes you’ll get 7/1.
Barcelona v Sevilla Correct Score Betting Tip
Moving on to a correct score prediction and given that I am predicting a Barcelona win in the Super Cup, the matches between Barcelona and Sevilla are normally entertaining, both teams have scored in their last seven meetings and the results have read 2-2, 5-1, 4-1, 3-2, 2-1 and 3-2. Expect goals in Georgia.
My Barcelona v Sevilla prediction for a correct score is Barcelona to win 3-2, the best odds are 22/1 with Ladbrokes.
