Like the FIFA Club World Cup, the UEFA Super Cup is a prestigious trophy between the club winners of international cup competitions. The quality of football and entertainment in most super cups is usually quite high, as the winners of the Europa League — a bwin-sponsored competition — and the Champions League are typically strong teams.

Betting on the UEFA Supercup

The format of the match is the same as any UEFA club competition final. If the scores are tied at the end of full time, two 15-minute periods of extra time follow. And if the result remains deadlocked at the end of the extra time, a penalty shoot-out will determine the winners.

The UEFA Super Cup is considered one of the major trophies a club could win, as most winners — Barcelona, Chelsea and Bayern — put the Cup on display in their trophy cabinet. However, it is slightly less prestigious compared to other trophies like the Champions League. Make bets on the Champions League with bwin.

Betting on a football final

Even though its premise is based on a clash between the best of the best, a Super Cup is simply not comparable to a coveted league title or success in the major European competitions. Instead, you can describe it as a 'glorified friendly'.

Nonetheless, the Super Cup is arguably the best game you can get as a final warm-up for the new season. It offers quality opposition, serious competitiveness that isn't always there in friendlies and another chance for the winners to celebrate winning another European trophy.

Recommended UEFA Supercup bets

Played on neutral ground, the UEFA Supercup finals have frequently gone on to extra time in recent editions and on several occasions has had to be decided with a penalty shoot-out. Of the last nine finals, only two have ended in regulation time. A recommended bet on the Supercup is to bet on a tie-in regulation time.

It is usually the Champions League winners who win the UEFA Super Cup, as the Champions League is a much stronger competition between teams that have finished higher in their national leagues. However, upsets do happen on occasion. Place your football bets with us now.
