STAR FOOTBALL PREVIEW Weds: PSG v Aston Villa

PSG take on Aston Villa in the UEFA Super Cup, hoping to open the trophy cabinet before a ball’s even kicked this season, writes JOE CITRONE.

Champions League holders against Europa League holders in Salzburg, and whilst this fixture always has something of a glorified pre-season friendly feel about it, both of these clubs would love to start their season with a piece of silverware.

Their only meetings came in last season’s Champions League quarters, and Villa won the leg that meant more pride – hammering PSG 3-2 at home after being 3-1 down.

PSG went through anyway, 5-4 on aggregate, and that stubborn streak has followed them ever since: back-to-back penalty shootout wins to lift the Champions League itself.

Although a few of PSG’s stars are still trickling back into the side after the World Cup, and this is probably a good time for Aston Villa to play the French champions, I still think the current Champions League holders’ quality will shine through here. I’ll take them narrowly, 8/11 with starsports.bet.
