European Super Cup Prediction, PSG vs Tottenham, 02:00 August 14: Affirming position

TPO - Football review PSG vs Tottenham, European Super Cup 2025 at 02:00 on August 14 - information on forces, expected lineup, form, history of confrontation. PSG and Tottenham have the opportunity to add another title if they win at Stadio Friuli, Udine (Italy). With proven class, Luis Enrique and his team are confident enough to defeat Spurs, a team that is still at the dawn of reconstruction.

Prediction before the match PSG vs Tottenham

PSG will enter the 2025 UEFA Super Cup as winners of the 2024/25 Champions League, where they have shown their unstoppable strength with some particularly impressive victories, including a 5-0 win over Inter in the final. This is the second time PSG have participated in the Super Cup, having lost 2-9 on aggregate to Juventus in 1996. This means Les Parisiens are on the verge of winning the trophy for the first time in their history.

Luis Enrique’s side missed out on the 2025 FIFA Club World Cup after a shock defeat to Chelsea last month, showing that PSG are not invincible. They still need to improve, and that determination has been demonstrated by the £100m-plus signings of defender Illia Zabarnyi and goalkeeper Lucas Chevalier.

On Tottenham's side, after finishing 17th last season, Thomas Frank was appointed with the task of leading Spurs to new glory, with the turning point hopefully created by winning the Europa League in 2024/25. However, despite spending more than £120 million to strengthen the squad, the rebuilding process is taking place slowly.

Although they have a similar goal to PSG - winning the European Super Cup for the first time - in terms of squad quality, playing style and cohesion, the North London team is difficult to compare. They also have very little basis to create a surprise victory like their compatriot Chelsea did in the FIFA Club World Cup final.

Form, head-to-head history PSG vs Tottenham

PSG and Tottenham have met once before in the 2017 ICC Cup. At that time, Spurs were runners-up in the Premier League and were known as a close-knit, energetic team. It was no surprise that they won 4-2.

Tottenham are sorely lacking in those qualities, and new coach Thomas Frank's methods have not shown immediate results. They have won just two of their six pre-season friendlies, including a crushing 4-0 defeat to Bayern. As for PSG, before the defeat to Chelsea, they had everyone bowing out by beating Real, Bayern and Inter Miami.

It should also be noted that in 11 of the last 12 European Super Cup matches, the Champions League champions have won. In addition, the last 5 matches have always ended with no more than two goals in 90 minutes of official play.

PSG vs Tottenham squad information

Goalkeeper Gianluigi Donnarumma's uncertain future has seen Luis Enrique leave him out of the squad, with new signing Lucas Chevalier ready to fill the void. PSG are also without Joao Neves due to a two-match ban from FIFA.

As for Tottenham, James Maddison joins Dejan Kulusevski and Radu Dragusin on the injury list. Striker Dominic Solanke and left-back Destiny Udogie are also likely to be sidelined.

Expected lineup PSG vs Tottenham

PSG: Chevalier; Hakimi, Marquinhos, Pacho, Nuno Mendes; Zaire-Emery, Vitinha, Fabian Ruiz; Doue, Dembele, Kvaratskhelia

Tottenham: Vicario; Pedro Porro, Romero, Van de Ven, Spence; Bentancur, Palhinha, Sarr; Johnson, Richarlison, Kudus

Score prediction PSG 3-1 Tottenham
