Two-time defending UEFA Champions League holders PSG are chasing more silverware when they meet Europa League winners Aston Villa in Salzburg in the UEFA Super Cup.
PSG overcame Arsenal 4-3 on penalties to retain their European crown, while Villa thumped Bundesliga outfit Freiburg 3-0 in Istanbul to win the Europa League, their first major continental title since a famous European Cup success back in 1982.
PSG vs. Aston Villa betting picks and predictions
Both teams to score (-125)
Villa push the limit in terms of the Premier League's financial rules and that tends to see some chaotic summers at Villa Park.
They've already banked around £200 million in sales this summer, including defender Lucas Digne signing for PSG for £8.5 million.
Things have also been chaotic on the pitch, with Villa's last five preseason matches seeing both teams score.
They lost 2-1 to Bayern Munich in the final leg of their Asian tour, so we should be in for another open game on Wednesday.
PSG won 5-4 on aggregate when these two met in the UEFA Champions League in April 2025 and Luis Enrique's side have failed to keep clean sheets in preseason encounters with Mallorca and Man Utd.
The Super Cup does tend to be a high-scoring contest, with the match taking place before teams hit their stride.
As a showcase for European football the stakes are slightly lowered and that makes for a more open match. Across the last 14 editions of this competition, both teams have scored on 11 occasions.
More goals should be on the way in Salzburg and both teams to score is well-priced at -125 considering the recent history of this competition.
PSG to win on penalties (+550)
The Super Cup is familiar territory to Unai Emery, who won the Europa League for the fifth time last season.
However, the former PSG boss has lost his previous three Super Cup matches, losing to Real Madrid and Barcelona while Sevilla boss, and being beaten by Chelsea when in charge of Villarreal in 2021.
PSG won this competition for the first time last season, but they needed a penalty shoot-out to overcome English opposition in Tottenham Hotspur.
There was a slight rustiness about PSG in that clash and the European champions are in a familiar position this time around.
A year ago they went the distance at the Club World Cup in the USA and this time around their players were away on World Cup duty.
Since the Super Cup venue moved away from Monaco's Stade Louis II, the matchups have been hard to split.
Eight of the last 11 Super Cups have been level after 90 minutes, while three of the last five have been settled on penalties.
PSG may be a little undercooked here as their transfer business drags on, while Villa were arguably the toughest test that the French outfit faced on their way to UEFA Champions League glory in 2025.
Since 2013, the Europa League winners have lifted this trophy only once, so recent history points to a draw within 90 minutes and PSG walking away with another piece of silverware.
Back Emery's side to push them, with PSG to win on penalties priced at +550.
Vitinha to score anytime (+400)
It wasn't a standout World Cup for Vitinha, but the Portuguese midfielder should look more at home as he returns to club action.
He has been a key figure in PSG's back-to-back UEFA Champions League wins, while he has tended to save his goals for big occasions.
Vitinha scored six UEFA Champions League goals last season, compared to a solitary strike in Ligue 1. He netted against Tottenham, Newcastle and Chelsea and that fine record against English sides suggests he can trouble Villa.
While PSG have an embarrassment of riches in attack, Vitinha stands out at +400 to score anytime.
