Manchester City vs Sevilla Preview - 16/08/2023 - UEFA Super Cup
Manchester City are set to face Sevilla in the UEFA Super Cup at Stadio Georgios Karaiskakis in Athens, Greece, on Wednesday, August 16, with kick-off set for 20:00 (UK time).
City's historic victory over Inter Milan in the Champions League final made them champions of Europe for the first time in their history. Sevilla, on the other hand, earned their place in the final by defeating Roma in the Europa League final through a 4 - 1 penalty shootout following a 1 - 1 draw after extra time.
The 2023 Super Cup will be the first UEFA club competition final hosted in Greece since AC Milan's 2 - 1 win over Liverpool in the 2007 Champions League final. It will also mark City's first appearance in the Super Cup final, while Sevilla will be making their sixth appearance.
Sevilla have previously won the trophy once, defeating Barcelona with a score of 3 - 0 in 2006. As the current Champions League holders, City will be the home team for the final in Greece.

Manchester City vs Sevilla Prediction - 16/08/2023 - UEFA Super Cup
Manchester City's recent performances have established them as the leading team in Europe at present. Their remarkable achievement of winning the historic treble has placed them as only the second English team to accomplish such a feat alongside Sir Alex Ferguson's Manchester United.
The Citizens may face the UEFA Super Cup without one of their star players, Kevin De Bruyne, who sustained a fitness issue during the Champions League final against Inter Milan.
The midfielder's potential absence could be a setback, but it might not be enough to hinder City's chances against Sevilla. Pep Guardiola's side have showcased their exceptional abilities throughout the 2022/23 campaign, making them a formidable force.
Despite Sevilla's recent success and experience in the Super Cup, City are still widely expected to emerge victorious in this highly anticipated match.
