Paris Saint-Germain and Aston Villa clash at the Red Bull Arena in Salzburg. The winners will claim the UEFA Super Cup, the first European trophy in the 2026/27 season.

Paris Saint-Germain to leave key men out

With so many players involved in the World Cup, PSG stars such as Ousmane Dembélé and Désiré Doué are not expected to feature heavily in this match.

Vitinha, who netted six times in 17 Champions League appearances last term, will be ready to start in midfield. Compatriot João Neves is also set to play, which will boost the French side’s chances of gaining control in the centre of the pitch.

PSG have the Trophée des Champions to look forward to on Sunday, meaning they’ve got two chances to claim silverware in August. In addition to a large French contingent, Achraf Hakimi and Fabián Ruiz could be held back after busy summers with their countries.

Paris Saint-Germain predicted lineup vs Aston Villa (4-3-3): Safonov; Zabarnyi, Marquinhos, Pacho, Mendes; Neves, Vitinha, Fernández; Mbaye, Mayulu, Kvaratskhelia.

Aston Villa rebuilding after major departures

It has been a busy few weeks in the transfer market for Aston Villa as they gear up for the new Premier League season. First-team regulars Morgan Rogers, Youri Tielemans and Lucas Digne have all left, with the latter completing a move to PSG earlier this week.

New signings João Gomes and Alejandro Garnacho are both likely to start. However, Villa were impacted by the World Cup, meaning Emiliano Martínez, Ollie Watkins and Ezri Konsa are lacking fitness.

Amadou Onana is a long-term injury absentee, but Unai Emery is hoping to have captain John McGinn available. The Scotland international scored five goals in 12 appearances as the Villans won the 2025/26 Europa League.

Aston Villa predicted lineup vs Paris Saint-Germain (4-2-3-1): Bizot; Cash, Lindelöf, Torres, Maatsen; Gomes, Kamara; McGinn, Buendía, Garnacho; Abraham.

Paris Saint-Germain vs Aston Villa Prediction

Safe Tip: Over 2 goals
Odds: 1.43 (22Bet)
Correct score prediction: Paris Saint-Germain 2-2 Aston Villa
22Bet Booking Code: VBFGH

Key stats:

There were nine goals across the two legs when these clubs met in the 2024/25 Champions League quarter-finals.
All of Villa’s six pre-season outings ended with three or more goals.
PSG’s European fixtures last term averaged 3.94 goals per game.

Backing Over 2 goals with a 22Bet bonus of up to 122 $/€ is a safe pick. Including friendlies, all of Aston Villa’s past 12 games have finished with at least three goals.

While star players on both teams are set to only make the bench, neither coach will make major changes to their usual style of play. PSG’s attack can still count on the influential Khvicha Kvaratskhelia, who registered 10 goals and six assists in last season’s Champions League.

Paris Saint-Germain vs Aston Villa Prediction, Value Tip

Value Tip: Aston Villa to win or draw
Odds: 2.074 (22Bet)
22Bet Booking Code: 6VEGH

In terms of fitness, Villa should have the edge here. They’ve already played six pre-season games, while PSG have had just two outings. The first of those was only last Wednesday and ended in a 3-0 defeat to Spanish second-tier opposition.

This is also a bigger match for the underdogs, who have fewer opportunities to win silverware. PSG may be less motivated, and they were unimpressive in the Super Cup last term, when they were taken to penalties after a 2-2 draw against Tottenham.

Verdict: Over 2 goals (1.43) — Paris Saint-Germain 2-2 Aston Villa
