Our prediction for this France Super Cup match:
Parc des Princes will be the centre of attention when Paris Saint-Germain and Toulouse square off against each other in the French Super Cup. Les Parisiens aim to build on a 3-1 win over Metz and the bookies see them as hot favourites to win Wednesday’s showdown. The likes of Dembele, Kimpembe, Mendes, Rico, Ruiz, and Keylor Navas remain in the recovery room, but Luis Enrique can count on key players for the title game.
Les Pitchouns, meanwhile, aim to recover from a 2-1 loss to Monaco, but seeing that Kylian Mbappe and Co. are a real force to be reckoned with at home, we predict that the visitors will return to Occitania empty-handed. In their last meeting in the “City of Lights” PSG defeated Toulouse 2-1. All Mikkel Desler, Niklas Schmidt, Zakaria Aboukhlal, and Oliver Zanden are out of contention with injuries, speaking of the visiting side.
Highlighted Player (Kylian Mbappé):
Kylian Mbappe is a French footballer who plays for Paris Saint-Germain as a forward. The French rising star began his youth career at AS Bondy and in 2013 he moved to AS Monaco. After making 12 appearances for Monaco B, Kylian Mbappe made his debut for the senior team in 2015. Mbappe quickly established himself as a regular goalscorer, with the teenager finding the net 15 times in 29 appearances in the Ligue 1 in the 2016/2017 season.
In 2017 he moved to fellow French club PSG on loan, with the option of making the deal permanent. Kylian Mbappe scored 13 goals in 27 appearances for les Parisiens in the 2017/2018 and it has to be noted that Unai Emery’s troops eventually won the national championship.
Speaking of his international career, Mbappe played an important role for France at the 2018 FIFA World Cup finals, with the pacey rising star scoring a brace in a thrilling 4-3 win over Argentina in the last 16 of the showpiece tournament. The PSG attacker was born in Paris on December 20, 1998.
Highlighted Team (Toulouse):
Toulouse are a professional football club that compete in Ligue 1. Les Pitchouns are well known for their purple jerseys with white stripes and it has to be noted that they used to wear red and yellow jerseys in the past. Toulouse welcome their opponents at Stadium Municipal and the capacity of the team’s home ground is 33.150. Stadium Municipal was used as a venue for the 1998 FIFA World Cup.
In 1982 the club secured promotion to the Ligue 1 for the first time ever and you should bear in mind that the likes of Jacques Santini and Daniel Jeandupeux were part of the team. A win over Napoli in the round 1 of the 1986/1987 UEFA Cup is considered one of the club’s biggest success as football legend Diego Maradona played for the Italian team back then, attacker Daniel Jeandupeux scored the winner for Toulouse in the penalty shoot-out. Bordeaux are regarded as the club’s fiercest rivals and the two teams face each other in Derby de la Garonne.
