For the second time in three seasons, Real Madrid will kick off their competitive season in the UEFA Super Cup. The Spanish side landed a 2-0 win over Eintracht Frankfurt back in 2022, and they are chasing a record-breaking sixth success in the competition this year.
Carlo Ancelotti wasted little time in adding high-quality players to his all-conquering side from last term this summer, with the eye-catching signing of Kylian Mbappe likely to ensure that Los Blancos rank among the top contenders for all major prizes this summer.
However, much of Real’s success last term was built on their excellent defensive record, and that will be a common trend to consider before making a Real Madrid vs Atalanta prediction this week.
The Spanish giants come into the European curtain-raiser in fine recent form, after picking up a 2-1 success against Chelsea in their final pre-season outing.
| Recent Form (all competitions, most recent first) | W-L-L-W-D |
| Key Players to Watch | Kylian Mbappe, Vinicius Jr, Jude Bellingham |
| Team Strengths | World-class attacking talent. |
| Team Weaknesses | Absences of a number of first-team regulars. |
The 2023-24 season will be a campaign that lives long in the memory of Atalanta fans, as they ended the year with a dominant success over Bayer Leverkusen in the Europa League final.
Ademola Lookman was the standout star in Dublin, with the former Fulham winger netting a stunning hat-trick. However, building on that success is now the big challenge that awaits the Italian side in 2024-25.
They will be making their debut appearance in the Super Cup this season, but their chances could be impacted due to the sheer number of injury issues that they currently have. Before making a Real Madrid vs Atalanta prediction, it’s important to consider that they will be without Charles De Ketelaere, Gianluca Scamacca, and Giorgio Scalvini for this showdown with Real Madrid.
| Recent Form (all competitions, most recent first) | L-L-D-L-W |
| Key Players to Watch | Ademola Lookman, Mateo Retegui |
| Team Strengths | Dynamic wide players |
| Team Weaknesses | Mounting injury concerns |
This will be the third European clash between these sides and the first since the 2020-21 season. In the Champions League that season, Real Madrid won both legs in the round of 16 against Atalanta, including a 3-1 victory at the Bernabeu.
All eyes will be on Kylian Mbappe in Poland on Wednesday, as the Frenchman is expected to make his first start for Real Madrid.
The 25-year-old endured a challenging EUROs after completing his move to Spain, but he comes into the new season after his best-ever scoring campaign for PSG after netting 44 goals across all competitions. He will be widely expected to hit the ground running for Los Blancos.
Given the sheer numbers of injuries that Atalanta need to contend with this week, it’s likely that they will adopt a much more defensive gameplan than they did in the Europa League final against Bayer Leverkusen.
However, in that final, they showed their excellent quality on the counter-attack, and the pace of Lookman could once again cause issues for Los Blancos this week.
Real will be expected to dominate the ball, meaning the Italian side can ill-afford to give players such as Jude Bellingham and Vinicius Jr the time on the ball to make forward passes. The middle of the park and wide areas will ultimately be where this game is won and lost.
Bet hereReal Madrid look like a solid bet to win their sixth Super Cup this week.
Carlo Ancelotti will field a very strong side for this traditional curtain-raiser for the European season, and we could see the attacking players proving to be the difference makers in the final third against an Atalanta side that has been hit hard by injuries during pre-season.
All the attention this week will be on Mbappe, but another young star could offer a more interesting betting angle. Arda Güler will likely start for Los Blancos on Wednesday, as the Turkish international will come into the Super Cup following an excellent EUROs campaign, where he scored once and registered two assists in five matches.
