PSG vs Aston Villa prediction: expert analysis, possible lineups, August 12, 2026
UEFA Super Cup
In the UEFA Super Cup on August 12, 2026, PSG and Aston Villa will face off. The contest for a new trophy will be between Spanish maestros Luis Enrique and Unai Emery.
PSG vs Aston Villa: Team News and Expert Analysis
The Parisian giants finally won the Champions League a year ago. Since then, they've missed out on only two trophies. Last summer, they lost to Chelsea in the final of the Club World Cup. After that, they were knocked out early in the French Cup. However, everything else that could be won went to Dembélé and company. They managed to win the Champions League again, this time beating Arsenal on penalties in the final.
The Birmingham side has been consistently strong under Emery. Last season, they managed to return to fourth place in the Premier League. Additionally, Unai once again added a Europa League title to his résumé. However, Tielemans and Rogers left the project this summer, and Digne was bought by the French club—let’s see if the numerous newcomers can replace them.
Under Luis Enrique, his squad averaged 2.18 goals scored and conceded 0.85. The British side had more modest figures: they scored 1.47 goals per game and conceded 1.29.
Previous Matches: PSG vs Aston Villa
In the spring of last year, the teams met in the Champions League playoffs. PSG won 3-1 at home, then lost 2-3 in Birmingham.
Currently, the nominal hosts are considered favorites, but their summer performance has not been impressive. The "both teams to score" bet (odds – 1.78) is worth considering.
