PSG vs Tottenham: Tips, Odds, and Match Preview
Paris Saint-Germain and Tottenham will collide on Wednesday in the 2025 UEFA Super Cup, although the Ligue 1 giants are massive favorites for this matchup. While Luis Enrique’s men have taken a conservative approach to the transfer market and haven’t made drastic changes to the side that won the treble in 2024-25, the Spurs underwent tons of changes both on and off the pitch.
Despite winning the 2024-25 UEFA Europa League title, the Spurs decided to part ways with Ange Postecoglou and replaced him with Thomas Frank, who was the manager of Brentford last season. The Spurs are massive underdogs for this contest due to their lack of depth and injuries, and they should have a hard time trying to contain PSG’s elite attacking line that features the likes of Ousmane Dembele, Desire Doue and Kvarat Kvaratskhelia.
Les Parisiens looking for another title
PSG won the Ligue 1 and the UEFA Champions League in 2024-25 and also reached the final of the 2025 FIFA Club World Cup before losing to Chelsea by a 3-0 score. Luis Enrique’s men have been getting used to winning in every tournament they participate in, and this Super Cup shouldn’t be any different.
One of the strengths of the French giants is their ability to break the deadlock early – they did that in the UCL final and have also achieved that in four of their last five competitive wins. Thus, Les Parisiens will likely aim for another strong start. Grabbing the lead early would pave the way for them to secure the victory in Udine.
Paris Saint-Germain Injury & Suspension News
The French giants will be at full strength for this contest. However, it’s worth noting that Gianluigi Donnarumma, who was the starting goalkeeper in the 2024-25 UEFA Champions League campaign, has been left out of the squad and is expected to leave the club before the end of the transfer window.
A new era for the Spurs under Thomas Frank
The Spurs decided to change things in the summer. After they finished in 17th place in the Premier League in 2024-25, the board decided to tweak things, and the arrival of Thomas Frank should signal a new era for the London-based club. The concept of a new era is even more noticeable if considering that their star player over the last few years, Heung-min Son, has departed the club to join Los Angeles FC in MLS.
Don’t expect the Spurs to play with a very positive approach in this contest. While it’d be a stretch to imagine the Spurs parking the bus, it’s not crazy to imagine them playing with a conservative approach since they’re clear underdogs here. Their record of W2, D3, L1 suggests the team is still adjusting to Frank’s style in the preseason, but PSG shouldn’t give them a lot of time to adjust on the fly.
Tottenham Injury & Suspension News
The Spurs will be without James Maddison, who’s expected to miss most of the 2025-26 season after sustaining an ACL injury in the preseason. Manor Solomon (undisclosed), Dejan Kulusevski (knee) and Radu Dragusin (knee) are sidelined as well, while Dominic Solanke (ankle) is questionable and could very well miss Wednesday’s match as well.
PSG vs Tottenham Prediction
Don’t expect a back-and-forth match here. Even though the Spurs aren’t going to sit back and play with a conservative approach, PSG should take control of the game sooner rather than later and are likely to monopolize possession relatively easily. The French club should take advantage of the Spurs’ defensive woes, and they should be able to establish their lead before the end of the first half. Expect PSG to lead the game at the HT break en route to winning the 2025 UEFA Super Cup.
