PSG, two-time reigning UEFA Champions League winners, aim to secure the Super Cup title for the second consecutive year, following Real Madrid's back-to-back wins in 2016-2017. Last year, after a 2-2 draw with Spurs, they won 4-3 on penalties. However, under coach Luis Enrique, PSG has yet to win in two preseason friendlies, losing 0-3 to Mallorca and drawing 1-1 with Manchester United. For this match, key players returning from the 2026 World Cup break include Ousmane Dembélé, Fabián Ruiz, Desiré Doué, and Achraf Hakimi. Bradley Barcola’s return remains uncertain amid transfer rumors involving Liverpool.
Aston Villa recently won the Europa League, breaking a 30-year major trophy drought, and now aim for their second Super Cup title, following their 1982 European Cup (now UCL) win. However, Morgan Rogers (Chelsea) and Youri Tielemans (Manchester United) have left the squad. New additions include Johan Matsambi, Alejandro Garnacho, and João Gomes. In five preseason friendlies, Villa won 2 and lost 3, facing strong teams like Porto, Real Sociedad, and Bayern Munich. In the 2024-25 UCL quarterfinals, Villa lost 1-3 away to PSG but won 3-2 at home.
Currently, Aston Villa will miss Johan Matsambi and Amadou Onana due to injuries sustained during the 2026 World Cup, and captain John McGinn is sidelined after an injury in a 3-1 friendly win over BG Pathum United. Ollie Watkins, Ezri Konsa, and Emiliano Martínez have recently returned from the World Cup. Comparing squads, PSG appears stronger and is likely to secure a win.
Match prediction. PSG narrowly defeats Aston Villa to retain the UEFA Super Cup.
