The UEFA Super Cup final has arrived as PSG and Aston Villa will clash in Salzburg, Austria for the silverware.

PSG won their second straight Champions League to earn their spot in this match, while Aston Villa took down Freiburg to win the Europa League. The two champions will now face off in the 2026 UEFA Super Cup.

PSG are -130 favorites on the moneyline, while a draw is available at +265. Fancy an Aston Villa win? The Villans are +300 on the moneyline on DraftKings Sportsbook.

In terms of odds to win the cup, PSG are listed at -240 while Aston Villa are +175.

PSG vs. Aston Villa Prediction, Pick

PSG have won two Champions Leagues in a row, and now they are looking to win their second straight Super Cup. PSG faced Tottenham in the 2025 Super Cup, and overcame a 2-0 deficit with two late goals to get the game to a penalty shootout in which they came out on top. It’s another English team for the Parisians in 2026, as they take on Europa League winners Aston Villa.

PSG are the best team in Europe at the moment, and I think they will win this game inside of the 90 minutes. When you look at their attacking players, it’s arguably the best group in the world at the moment. Ousmane Dembélé, Désiré Doué, Khvicha Kvaratskhelia and Bradley Barcola are all elite players and can all make a game changing moment happen at any time. There have been some rumors about Barcola heading to Liverpool this summer, so let’s see if he plays in this one and if he stays at PSG once the transfer window closes.

The French champions are favorites here for a reason. These teams met in the 2024/25 Champions League quarter-finals, where PSG advanced 5-4 on aggregate. The Villans put up a good fight in the second leg of that tie, but it was too little, too late after losing 3-1 in France in the first leg. PSG have taken out almost every club in the big six of the Premier League in the UCL and Super Cup over the last few seasons, and Aston Villa as well. I expect them to continue to dominate English sides and win their second straight Super Cup.

Best Bet: PSG Moneyline (-130)
