Fiorentina or Atalanta? When I looked at the schedule, I didn't see any matches between Madrid and Fiorentina. They will be preparing to play the UEFA Super Cup final, which will be the closing match. After that, La Liga will start. Their first match in La Liga will be against Mallorca. Did I miss a hidden schedule between Madrid and Fiorentina?
No need to check the schedule because Madrid's opponent for the UEFA Super Cup is Atalanta because Madrid won the Champions League and Atalanta is the champion of the Europa League.
This match will actually be one-sided I think because with the superiority of the squad that Madrid currently has and with Atalanta's waistline due to the absence of Scamacca who this season will be absent for a long time and Koopmeiners is still unclear about his future, of course this will be a very good advantage for Madrid to get the trophy back before the competition starts.
It's also a good thing for Mbappe because apart from his first time playing for Madrid, he's also getting to play in a game he's never played in before as it's the first time he's played in the UEFA Super Cup.
Odds are currently 1.51 for Madrid and 4.50 for Atalanta which is quite reasonable because although Gasperini's performance was quite good last season but with their current condition and the difference in strength that occurs, it is quite natural that this happens.
Real Madrid didn't bought many players this summer but they have Mbappe which this is fantastic transfer because we all know Mbappe is world class player and if he played in this match i am sure Mbappe had ambition want to gets his first trophy this season with Real Madrid but i don't think Atalanta can easily to beated because although from squad quality Real Madrid is better but Atalanta has solid squad
I was wondering how Real Madrid will play without Toni Kroos because since he was retired from football Real Madrid didn't find any replacement of him and my prediction about Real Madrid lineup is probably Ancelotti will playing Brahim Diaz or Modric on Kroos position but i would like to see how effective these players to replace Kroos position on the team
About player condition Atalanta has Mateo Retegui who transfered from Genoa so this player probably will be played on Scamacca position as centre striker and here is the current odds for both teams which you can see the odds for them has been increases but Real Madrid is still the favourite
Real Madrid @1.60
Atalanta @5.20
