Paris Saint-Germain vs Tottenham Hotspur
Wednesday 13 August, 20:00
Stadio Friuli
PSG enjoyed a fantastic 2024/25 campaign, winning Ligue 1, the Coupe de France and their first-ever UEFA Champions League trophy as they lifted a superb treble, with the highlight certainly being their 5-0 win over Inter Milan in the Champions League final.
Luis Enrique’s men were unable to continue their silverware streak in the Club World Cup, progressing past Inter Miami, Bayern Munich and Real Madrid as they reached the final before surprisingly losing 3-0 to Chelsea.
PSG will now be coming into this match hoping to bounce back with a victory ahead of a season where they will be amongst the favourites to retain their Champions League trophy, and the French side are significant favourites to secure the victory.
Tottenham have had a summer of change following their Europa League triumph, with Ange Postecoglou departing in favour of Thomas Frank, while several signings have also come through the door.
While Spurs had an encouraging pre-season, with two wins and three draws in their first five fixtures, a devastating 4-0 loss to Bayern Munich in their most recent friendly clash will leave them with plenty of concerns coming into this game against another European giant.
Frank’s side will have to solidify their defence and be far more effective in the occasion of a rare attack against PSG than they were against the German champions.

Senny Mayulu is not expected to feature for Paris Saint-Germain due to a thigh injury, though the 19-year-old is anticipated to make a return to first-team action later this month.
Elsewhere, Gianluigi Donnarumma has not been named in the 20-man travelling squad, with Lucas Chevalier expected to earn his debut between the sticks, while Joao Neves is also unavailable after receiving a red card in the Club World Cup final, meaning Vitinha and Fabian Ruiz could be joined by Warren Zaire-Emery.
As for Spurs, Radu Dragusin, Dejan Kulusevski and James Maddison are all ruled out with injury, while Dominic Solanke and Destiny Udogie are doubts to feature due to injury concerns.
Frank has named Cristian Romero as the new captain following Heung-min Son’s departure, and the Argentinian is expected to start alongside Micky van de Ven at the heart of defence.
PSG Predicted XI: Chevalier; Hakimi, Marquinhos, Pacho, Mendes; Zaire-Emery, Vitinha, Ruiz; Doue, Dembele, Kvaratskhelia
Spurs Predicted XI: Vicario; Porro, Romero, Van de Ven, Spence; Palhinha, Bentancur, Sarr; Johnson, Richarlison, Kudus
Bet9ja Tips
Tottenham are expected to put up a much tougher fight compared to their miserable showing in the 4-0 loss to Bayern Munich, but PSG’s quality is simply undeniable and the French champions should comfortably win this one.
Ousmane Dembele had a remarkable 2024/25 season, scoring 35 goals and registering 14 assists in 53 games, and we believe his goalscoring form will continue into the opening match of this campaign.
