Head coach Luis Enrique will be hoping to help PSG add to their Champions League success of last season
Head coach Luis Enrique will be hoping to help PSG add to their Champions League success of last season

Paris Saint-Germain are hot favourites to win the UEFA Super Cup on Wednesday as Luis Enrqiue's side look to pick themselves up following their loss in the Club World Cup final when they face Europa League winners Tottenham.

The London outfit are still buzzing after winning their first trophy for 17 years, but they have not only had to cope with life under a new manager in Thomas Frank, but have also needed to deal with a number of injuries that have disrupted their preparations for the new season.

Team news

PSG have no fresh injuries to contend with in their first match since they were beaten 3-0 by Chelsea in the Club World Cup final.

Goalkeeper Lucas Chevalier has joined from Lille and he may be given the opportunity to impress between the posts, with Gianluigi Donnarumma's future at the Champions League winners coming into question over the last few weeks.

Spurs have been rocked by the news that James Maddison has suffered a long-term knee injury, while defender Radu Dragusin is sidelined with a similar issue.

Dejan Kulusevski is also fighting his way back to full fitness, while left-back Destiny Udogie and striker Dominic Solanke remain doubtful.

The stats

Tottenham took just one point from their final seven Premier League matches last season.

Just one of Spurs' last six competitive games have featured more than two goals, while both teams have scored in just one of Tottenham's last five competitive outings.

One team has failed to score in each of Paris Saint-Germain's last nine games and PSG have won 10 of their last 12 matches.

Prediction

Even though PSG have not had any friendlies since their 3-0 loss to Chelsea and the start of the Ligue 1 season is less than a week away, they should be able to get past Tottenham comfortably in Udine on Wednesday.

While it is easy to read too much into pre-season friendly results, Spurs fell to a 4-0 defeat in a recent game against Bundesliga champions Bayern Munch and it is difficult to see how they will threaten the Champions League winners much in this contest.

Playmakers Kulusevski and Maddison are out injured and Spurs can no longer rely upon Heung-min Son following the South Korean's departure to Major League Soccer.

It is difficult to put much faith in Richarlison, who looks set to lead the attack, so the Parisians should be able to come through with their clean sheet intact.
