The Champions League winners Paris Saint-Germain aim to win their fifth trophy of 2025 when they face off against the reigning UEFA Europa League champions, Tottenham Hotspur, in what should be a really enticing UEFA Super Cup final on Wednesday night. The PSG vs Tottenham Hotspur clash will take place at the Stadio Friuli, as both teams aim to win a piece of silverware before the start of their respective league campaigns. Here we look at our PSG vs Tottenham Hotspur preview.

PSG have already had an amazing 2025 so far, winning four different trophies. They clinched the 2024/25 Ligue 1 in style, and capped off a great campaign by winning the UEFA Champions League for the first time ever. They came up short in the FIFA Club World Cup final against Chelsea, but aim to bounce back strongly by winning the Super Cup.

PSG head coach Luis Enrique will be urging his side to start the new campaign in a dominant fashion by producing a thrilling performance against Spurs. Of course, they'll need to be defensively sturdy to keep the English side quiet on the transitions, but Enrique will mostly focus his side dazzling fans with slick, quick-passing moves and being at their clinical best to get a big win.

Tottenham Hotspur have had a major transition in management since winning the 2024/25 UEFA Europa League final and ending their 16-year-long trophy drought. Thomas Frank is now on board as their manager, after Ange Postecoglou was sacked following Spurs finishing 16th in the 2024/25 Premier League season.

Frank has an intimidating challenge ahead of him in facing this destructive PSG side in his first competitive match. He needs to work hard to shape up his side to maintain a really stubborn defensive line, while also needing his players to be decisive and ruthless in taking up any chances they get to win the Super Cup final.

PSG Team News

The veteran tactician Luis Enrique should actually have a fully fit squad available for this upcoming Super Cup match. He will have the chance to field his strongest XI, even though imminent new signing Illia Zabarnyi will not be able to feature in this. Lucas Chevalier could make his debut in this one, as Gianluigi Donnarumma has been left out of the squad.

Tottenham Hotspur Team News

Thomas Frank is actually facing a bit of a nightmare when it comes to the availability of players in his Spurs side. He recently suffered a big setback as midfielder James Maddison picked up a major knee injury. The likes of Dejan Kulusevski (knee), Bryan Gil (knee), Destiny Udogie (muscle) and Radu Dragusin (knee) are all expected to be out, while Dominic Solanke is a major doubt.

PSG vs Tottenham Hotspur Head-to-Head Record

These two sides have actually only faced one another once in the past. That was a friendly game in 2017, which Tottenham Hotspur won by a 4-2 margin.

Key Players to Watch in PSG vs Tottenham Hotspur

Ousmane Dembele (PSG)

A frontrunner for the 2025 Ballon d'Or award, Ousmane Dembele was one of the best players in the world in the 2024/25 season. He scored eight goals in the UEFA Champions League last season, slightly underperforming his 8.28 xG (expected goals) but scoring big goals in decisive moments.

Dembele will be eager to maintain his impressive form in the 2025/26 season and start the new campaign by harassing Spurs. He will look to use his blistering pace and clever link-up play to lighten up PSG's attacks, but will most likely be tasked to be in the right positions in the final third to finish off chances and continue his goalscoring brilliance.

Brennan Johnson (Tottenham Hotspur)

Brennan Johnson played a pivotal role in helping Tottenham Hotspur win the 2024/25 UEFA Europa League title, even scoring in the final against Manchester United. He scored five goals in the competition, outperforming his 3.10 xG and proving himself to be quite the clutch player for the Lilywhites.

Well, it's time for Johnson to regain his spark in the European matches and prove his quality against the best team in Europe. He will need to use his smart movement to trouble the defenders and also be decisive with his passes. Johnson will look to break past the marker to find the ball in key scoring areas and finish off chances ruthlessly to stun PSG.

PSG vs Tottenham Hotspur Prediction

This game might be one pitting the terrorizing attacking force of PSG against Tottenham's defensive fortitude, but that shouldn't make it a one-sided one. It should actually be quite the back-and-forth affair with plenty of actions and chances for both teams.

However, Spurs are still adapting to Thomas Frank's system, whereas Luis Enrique has already turned PSG into a well-oiled machine. The Parisians' sheer quality in the attack and clinical nature should help them seal a commendable win. Here is our PSG vs Tottenham Hotspur Prediction.

Predicted Score: PSG 3-1 Tottenham Hotspur
