PSG vs Tottenham: Expert Preview & Betting Odds

PSG vs Tottenham. This year’s UEFA Super Cup brings together two very different stories. On one end is Paris Saint Germain, who just had a great run in the Champions League and now has a lot of new talents. Tottenham Hotspur, the underdogs, shocked everyone by winning the Europa League. But they have a new coach now, and several of their best players are gone. Their matchup at Stadio Friuli on August 13, 2025, looks like it will be a night full of shocks and good bets for clever players.

Think of this game like a big fighter taking on a fast, small one. PSG are the top fighter with strong hits; Tottenham are the rough underdog aiming for a shock win. With a prize up for grabs and reputations at stake, the atmosphere will be electric.

Form Guide

PSG – Steaming ahead

The Parisians come into this fixture with momentum. Last season, they won every game at home and at last took home the Champions League, beating Inter 5-0 in the last match.

Over the summer, they went to the FIFA Club World Cup. There, they won against Real Madrid (4-0) and Bayern Munich (2-0), impressing many, before Chelsea beat them 3-0 in the last game. Friendly outings yielded emphatic victories over Inter Miami and Atletico Madrid and only a slip against Botafogo. In their last five games across competitions they have four wins and one defeat – a record any team would envy.

Tottenham – Mixed signals

Spurs’ path has been bumpier. Pre‑season started brightly with a 2‑0 win over Reading, but draws against Wycombe and Luton hinted at rust. A morale‑boosting 1‑0 victory against Arsenal was followed by a 1‑1 draw with Newcastle and a humbling 4‑0 defeat to Bayern. In competitive action they stunned Manchester United in the Europa League final yet lost to Brighton, Aston Villa and Crystal Palace as their Premier League season fizzled out. Their last five games went up and down: win, loss, win, draw, win. They can’t keep it the same.

PSG vs Tottenham: Predicted XI

Paris Saint‑Germain

Manager Luis Enrique likes a free 4 3 3 setup with hard-running wingers and full backs that go beyond. Expect Lucas Chevalier to start in goal after his big‑money move from Lille. In defence, Achraf Hakimi, Marquinhos, Willian Pacho and Nuno Mendes provide pace and balance.

The midfield is likely to feature Vitinha, Fabián Ruiz and either youngster Warren Zaïre‑Emery or the tough‑tackling Manuel Ugarte. João Neves is suspended after his red card in the Club World Cup final, so the door opens for rotation.

Up front, Desire Doué, Khvicha Kvaratskhelia and star man Ousmane Dembélé – scorer of 35 goals last term – should provide flair and finishing.

Tottenham

Thomas Frank’s Spurs also line up 4‑3‑3. Guglielmo Vicario is the last line of defence. The back four of Pedro Porro, Cristian Romero, Micky van de Ven and Djed Spence will have their hands full containing PSG’s wingers.

Midfield should see João Palhinha, Rodrigo Bentancur and Pape Matar Sarr, with Palhinha set for his competitive debut after arriving on loan from Bayern. The attacking trio of Mohammed Kudus, Brennan Johnson and Richarlison brings energy and unpredictability.

Tottenham’s depth has taken a hit. Playmaker James Maddison is out for the season with an ACL injury. Dejan Kulusevski won’t return until mid‑September, Dominic Solanke’s ankle issue persists and defender Kota Takai, centre‑back Radu Dragusin and winger Bryan Gil remain sidelined. South Korean icon Son Heung‑min has departed for MLS outfit LAFC. Frank therefore needs his new signings to gel immediately.

Betting Opportunities and Odds

On GSB Zambia you will find competitive odds for every outcome. The main match odds illustrate the gulf perceived by bookmakers:

• PSG win (1.44): The Champions League holders are clear favourites, and backing them delivers a smaller return but higher probability.
• Draw (5.00): A draw after 90 minutes pays handsomely if Spurs manage to frustrate PSG’s attack.
• Tottenham win (6.50): An away win returns five times your stake. It’s a long shot but appeals to those who fancy a Cinderella story.

Looking beyond the 1×2 market, consider these angles:

• Exact score: A 2‑0 or 3‑1 PSG win appears realistic given their firepower and Spurs’ injuries.
• Over 2.5 goals: PSG’s matches often feature goals, and combining over 2.5 goals with a PSG victory offers extra value.
• Both teams to score – No: If you believe Tottenham’s depleted attack will struggle, this option could be rewarding.
• Anytime goalscorer: Pick Ousmane Dembélé; for higher risks, try Mohammed Kudus, as he wants to shine in his first game.

Prediction

Even though Tottenham has fought hard, it’s clear they lack enough good players. PSG’s strong play and quick moves will likely find weak spots in Spurs’ defense, more so since their key midfield man Maddison isn’t playing.

The French champions also boast a settled back line and a goalkeeper eager to prove himself. Tottenham may hold out for a while, but over 90 minutes their chances diminish.

We predict PSG to win 2‑0. Expect an early onslaught, a goal before half‑time and another late on as Tottenham tire. If you’re seeking higher odds, a correct‑score bet on 3‑0 is plausible. Alternatively, back PSG to win to nil – meaning Spurs fail to score – for a solid combination of risk and reward.
