Former Sevilla midfielder Julio Baptista insists they can shock Real Madrid in the European Super Cup.
Real meet Sevilla in Cardiff.
Cruzeiro ace Baptista told lfp.es: "Sevilla have never made it easy for Madrid, I think that for them (Madrid) it's one of the worse teams to face because the Andalusian side are a very uncomfortable opponent. They always fight."
The former Brazil international still feels Madrid hold the edge, though.
"A final is a final. You need to see how the teams are after pre-season, you need to see who has had the better pre-season and how the players are," he said.
"There are a series of factors, but Madrid have a very strong squad and are favourites, even though Sevilla have had a spectacular year.
"Sevilla have to have a perfect game, without mistakes. They need to have an impressive game to win.
"Madrid have an incredible team with two players for every place and they are all good. Right now, Madrid could carry on winning lots of titles because they have a great squad."
