Atalanta vs Real Madrid
UEFA Super Cup
(224591) Atalanta vs (224592) Real Madrid
Madrid had another fantastic season as the Champions League's all-time most decorated team with another title while also capturing the La Liga title. How could they possible get any better? Well, now they have Kylian Mbappe and the talk is that this match will be his debut with his new team.
That makes it a tough ask for Atalanta to compete here. They are the 4th straight “first-timer” in this competition with two of the three losing, Villarreal and Frankfurt (both the Europa winners). The Champions League side has also won ten of the last 11 Super Cups.
It really is hard to see anything other than a Madrid win here so I'm thinking our “floor” is a push on the -1.0 goal spread.
TAKE REAL MADRID -1.0
Line Parameter: 3% to -150. Pay to get -1.0 as Atalanta does have the firepower to keep it close, but ultimately a Madrid win by two goals or more seems more likely than a draw or Atalanta win.
