Los Blancos have a big opportunity on Tuesday to start the season in the best way possible. Real Madrid will try to win their third European Supercup after the titles in 2002 and 2014. Actually, the rivals in Norway will be the last team beaten in this competition: Sevilla FC.
Both La Liga teams know each other very well and Los Blancos have a lot of reasons to stay positive ahead of the game. They beat Sevilla two years ago thanks to Cristiano Ronaldo’s two goals and last year the Andalusian team was thrashed 4-0 at Bernabéu Stadium. The statistics, then, favour Real Madrid.
Besides, Madrid side is optimistic after a good pre-season tour around the United States of America. Los Blancos won two games -against Chelsea and Bayern Munich- and lost one game against PSG.
Zidane will have to make a lot of changes in the starting eleven as a result of different injuries. Toni Kroos and Gareth Bale are not fit to play in Norway and both aren’t travelling to Trondheim. Cristiano Ronaldo, Keylor Navas, Pepe and Coentrao also miss the game. Luckily, Benzema is back again to the team and he’s expected to play.
Having all this in mind, Real Madrid is clearly favourite to win the first title of the season. According to the bookmakers, Los Blancos have also the best odds to bring the title home.
