2025 Super Cup: Bets to try
The PSG vs. Tottenham match will take place at 2:00 p.m. CST at the Friuli Stadium in Italy and will be broadcast on ESPN and Disney Plus. Expectations continue to grow, and there is controversy after some unexpected departures, which could lead to an open contest.
Goal in both halves
Luis Enrique decided to remove Gianluigi Donnarumma from his squad, despite him being a key player in the historic Champions League victory. His place will be filled by Lucas Chevalier, recently signed from Lille, who will make his debut, as the team did not play any friendlies. Mohammed Kudus, Richarlison, and Brennan Johnson will test the new Parisian goalkeeper's skills. Remember that the Spurs will be without their captain, Son Heung-Min, who opted to leave for MLS. With these ingredients, goals are expected in both halves.
Ousmane Dembélé and Désiré Doué with shots on goal
Apart from the possible inconsistency at the back, Paris Saint-Germain has forwards to be feared. And with the offensive scheme that has been consolidated, it is feasible that Ousmane Dembélé and Désiré Doué will play a leading role in finishing off dangerous advances. In other words, their shots on goal are a given. It is worth mentioning that both players have something to prove after the unexpected 0-3 defeat at the hands of Chelsea in the Club World Cup final.

Over 9.5 corner kicks
Both PSG and Tottenham are known for creating depth on the wings. In the French team, Bradley Barcola and Khvicha Kvaratskhelia tend to drift towards the lines to link up with Achraf Hakimi and Nuno Mendes, who constantly push forward and enter the box in the “9” position. On the other hand, the Londoners will try Kudus as a new winger to partner with Djed Spence. At the same time, coach Thomas Frank is a specialist in tactical play and will use corners to cause damage with Cuti Romero's aerial play.
Over 3.5 offsides
The duo of Willian Pacho and Marquinhos is not only solid at stopping attacks, but also anticipates well and adjusts ranks to create the offside trap. In this role, Vitinha's reading of the game is also essential. However, it is clear that Doué and Dembélé often inject more speed than usual, which causes some forward positions. Given this scenario, there may be several flags raised.
