Prediction: PSG vs Aston Villa

With the 2026 UEFA Super Cup up for grabs on Wednesday night, PSG and Aston Villa will meet at the Red Bull Arena.

With Europe’s elite domestic leagues set to make their respective returns over the next fortnight, there are plenty of eye-catching betting promotions available.

Verdict: Goal to be scored in both halves

Starting with PSG, joining what was an elite club back in May as they successfully defended their Champions League crown, Luis Enrique’s superstar squad have certainly underlined their status as Europe’s ultimate poster boys. Embarking on another historic silverware sweep last season, the former Barcelona boss has seen his men receive a fearsome reputation from across the continent. Looking to lay down an immediate marker when they touch down in Germany on Wednesday and get their hands on yet another piece of silverware, PSG have also gained a fearsome reputation for their free-scoring performances in the final third. Bagging 74 goals in their 34 Ligue 1 appearances last season and comfortably holding the best-attacking return among France’s elite, Enrique’s side arrive at the Red Bull Arena pencilled in as a standout contender.

Completing a big-money move from domestic rivals Monaco last week, 24-year-old Maghnes Akliouche should make his PSG debut on Wednesday night. While reigning Ballon d’Or winner Ousmane Dembele might have been given the whole summer off, the ex-Barcelona superstar should play some part here.

Heavily linked with a blockbuster move to Premier League giants Liverpool this summer, it remains to be seen if French international Bradley Barcola will play any part in Germany. The Portuguese duo of Joao Neves and Vitinha will start alongside each other in the middle of the park.

Aston Villa

As for Aston Villa, signing off the 2025/26 campaign with a 2-1 victory away at Manchester City in what was Pep Guardiola’s final appearance in the Etihad dugout, Aston Villa will simply be looking to carry on from where they left off prior to the summer interval. Making their own piece of history back on May 20th as they were crowned Europa League champions thanks to an iconic 3-0 romp against Freiburg over in Istanbul, Unai Emery’s men have written themselves into the history books. Getting their hands on a first piece of European silverware since way back in 1982, Villa will certainly be relishing a famous trip to Germany on Wednesday night. Landing a top-four finish among England’s elite last season, Emery will also be desperate to get one over on his former employers at the Red Bull Arena.

Sustaining a knee injury while away with Belgium at this summer’s World Cup, Aston Villa have already confirmed that former Everton midfielder Amadou Onana will miss out on Wednesday night. Completing a shock summer switch from Chelsea on an initial loan deal, Alejandro Garnacho will make his competitive Villa debut.

Likewise, arriving from local rivals Wolves last month and signing off his summer preparations with a consolation strike against Bayern Munich, Brazilian international Joao Gomes could start in the middle of the park.

PSG vs Aston Villa Key Factors to Consider

• When PSG and Aston Villa met in the Champions League quarter-finals during the 2024/25 campaign, Enrique’s men secured a thrilling 5-4 aggregate win.
• PSG 74 goals in their 34 Ligue 1 appearances last season.
• Reigning Ballon d’Or winner Ousmane Dembele has registered 22 goals for club and country so far this calendar year.
• Including their iconic Europa League success back in May, Aston Villa notched 15 goals in their final five appearances across all competitions.
• However, Emery’s men could only muster a pair of clean sheets from any of their last nine outings across all fronts.

With the first major piece of silverware up for grabs on Wednesday night, neutrals will be hoping for a real thriller from the Red Bull Arena. Watching PSG and Aston Villa play out a pulsating Champions League nine-goal thriller when they met during the 2024/25 campaign, chances could come thick and fast in Germany. With Villa mustering just a pair of clean sheets from any of their final nine appearances across all competitions last season, they will meet a rampant PSG attack.

Verdict: Goal to be scored in both halves
