Team Analysis
Real Madrid enters the UEFA Super Cup having secured another Champions League title. Under the guidance of Carlo Ancelotti, they have maintained their status as one of Europe's elite clubs. Despite some offseason changes, including the arrival of Endrick and Kylian Mbappe, Real Madrid remains a formidable force. They have historically performed well in the Super Cup, winning five of their previous eight appearances. Ancelotti himself could set a record with a fifth Super Cup victory as a coach. Real Madrid's consistency in scoring is notable, having netted in 39 of their last 40 matches.

Atalanta comes into this match after an impressive campaign that saw them win the Europa League, marking their first major European trophy. Under Gianpiero Gasperini, Atalanta has become known for their attacking style and high-pressure play, which often results in more fouls and yellow cards. The team remains competitive, despite losing some key players, and has bolstered their squad with new talents like Ben Godfrey and Nicolo Zagnolo. Atalanta has scored in 11 of their last 12 matches, showcasing their attacking prowess.

Head-to-Head
Real Madrid and Atalanta have only met twice before, during the 2020/21 Champions League round of 16, where Real Madrid won both encounters (1:0 and 3:1).

Prediction
Real Madrid is favored to win this encounter, given their pedigree and history in the Super Cup. However, Atalanta's recent form and attacking capability suggest that they won't go down without a fight.

Predicted Outcome:
