Chelsea v Atletico Madrid UEFA Super Cup betting will settle the first European trophy of the season. This is a coming together of the Champions League and Europa League winners. This match will take place at the Stade Louis II on Friday night. Chelsea of course, famously battled their way past Barcelona and then Bayern Munich on their way to lifting the Champions League trophy for the first time in their history last season. It was a success which was borne on the back of some defensive teamwork and a whole lot of grit and determination. No-one was ever suggesting that Chelsea were the better team against either Barcelona in the semi finals of Bayern in the final itself, but the London side, under the guidance of Roberto Di Matteo got things tactically right and took the honours with the merit of team spirit. So while Chelsea face up to the immense challenge of trying to defend their European title this season, they have started the Premier League season with a bang, picking up three wins from three. Eden Hazard has been the stand out performer for Chelsea so far, delivering exactly what he was brought in to do, by providing assist It has allowed Fernando Torres to flourish as well, and Chelsea are looking a much better attacking unit. Di Matteo has said that he will take the UEFA Super Cup seriously and sent out a strong side.
They will take on Atletico Madrid who beat out Athletic Bilbao in the final of the Europa League last season. After opening the new La Liga season with a 1-1 draw against Levante, Madrid hit top stride and crushed Athletic Bilbao 4-0 in their second match. Athletic Madrid of course has the immense forward talent of Falcao, who netted himself a hat-trick in that 4-0 win, and he has been a target of Chelsea but the London club hasn’t been able to get close to him. There is a pretty good balance in the Atletico Madrid side and they are not afraid to get their foot on the ball and play adventurous football. It was what we saw from them when they inflicted defeat on Manchester United last season in the Europa League. So a very competent side and they aren’t ones to sit back and soak up pressure. They will get forward and try to make their own luck, which should produce a pretty open game for Chelsea v Atletico Madrid Betting.
