Man City vs. Sevilla Bet Builder Tips: Acuna to be carded in Super Cup final
Manchester City face Sevilla in the European Super Cup on Wednesday evening. We’ll have a full betting preview for the game from our man Tipster Wizard, but below you can find our best bet builder tips for the game.
This year’s renewal of the Super Cup will take place in Greece, with the match being shown live on TNT Sports. The game had originally been scheduled to take place in Kazan, however, due to the Russian invasion of Ukraine, a new venue was chosen, with the Karaiskakis Stadium just outside Athens being selected.
Taking a look at the match result odds and Pep Guardiola’s side are the short-priced favourites at 4/11 to get the job done in 90 minutes. The draw can be backed at 4/1, with a win for Sevilla on show at 7/1.
For those looking to back City to lift the trophy, odds of 1/5 are available with most betting sites, which implies an 83% chance of success. In the same market, Sevilla can be sided with at 7/2.
Man City vs Sevilla Bet Builder Tips
There are not many players around Europe who pick up more bookings than Sevilla’s Marcos Acuna. The Argentine World Cup winner averaged 1.1 fouls per game in La Liga last season, but with just 1/8 and 4/6 on offer for him to give away 1+ or 2+ fouls on Wednesday, there isn’t much juice in those prices.
Across all competitions for club and country last season the left-back was shown a remarkable 18 yellow and four red cards. This season Acuna has started on the same trajectory and picked up a yellow on the opening weekend of the La Liga season in the 2-1 defeat to Valencia.
A player who just loves to be in the middle of things, Acuna is priced as short as 7/4 with some bookmakers to be booked in Athens, so taking the 13/5 as part of our Bet Builder with Paddy Power looks a wise move here.
We’ll be pairing the Sevilla left-back to be booked with Rodri to have one or more shots on target during the game. In Manchester City’s opening league fixture last Friday, no player on the pitch recorded more shots than Rodri, with three of his four attempts hitting the target.
In his last seven starts, the Spaniard has recorded six shots on target, with this bet landing in four of those. He scored the key goal which resulted in his side finally getting their hands on that Champions League trophy in May and we’re backing him to be a prominent feature in the final third against Sevilla, who City have beaten Sevilla in their last four meetings.
Bet365 go evens (1/1) that Rodri records at least one shot on target, with Paddy Power once again having the best offering at 7/5. Combining both of the selections above pays 15/2 at the time of writing.
