Spain - Supercopa de Espana: Real M. vs ValenciaLast week’s duel of the two rivals in the first leg of Super Cup saw excellent performances with even five goals. Valencia showed what they are capable of by beating favored champions 3-2. Great performances by Villa, Silva, Vicente and Mata are most important. Real were worthy rivals with great chances of winning the trophy even with a minimal win. The fixture will definitely be shadowed by the great Madrid airport tragedy when even 153 people have lost their lives after the crash.
Bets flying again
It was a real pleasure to watch Valencia players flying all over the turf, putting in effort and playing more vividly than the last season, their worst ever. All it took was for a right man to come at helm and to put things right. They played the best football, just like it always should be, simple, easy, fluently. The result was more than great, two balls netted behind goalie’s back and huge pleasure for Valencia fans. Team from Levant will enter the replay, that is to be played at Santiago Bernabeu, eager to grab the first trophy of the season which would be a huge boost for the players. Unay Emery will certainly field his best team on the royal temple’s turf, lining up Niguel, Albiol, Baraja, Vicente, Joakin, Villa and Silva. They are the epicenter of guests’ squad, and even the result of the game depends upon their mood.
Peaceful Real
After the last week’s defeat, manager Schuster wasn’t mad at his players. He was pleased with his team’s performance, convinced his boys will get the trophy. He only pointed out certain problems regarding the coordination in defense, but it is considered normal at the beginning of the season. Van Nistelroy’s two goals are excellent news for the boss because the Holland’s starlet is opening the new season in the same fashion he ended the last one. Rafael Van der Vart has demonstrated only pieces of his talent proving the board was right to sign him. It may have been that only the skipper, Raul, was a bit sleepy after the long break of almost three months. The absence from Euro in his national team shirt would only do good to him in front of the new season. He will be prepared, rested and we shouldn’t doubt in his lethal, scoring instincts to start working. Maybe on Sunday already, at the Super Cup leg two. Our old friend wouldn’t surprise us if he really did that.
Betting verdict
This is an uncertain battle of two equal rivals. First leg has proved that both rivals are capable of scoring and taking a lead. Real are still favorites, but we will see if they will confirm the claims. Both sides’ strikers are in good form and defense might be the key to the success. More focused and concentrated team could be close to deicing the winners. Our choice here – over 2.5.
